Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 2 Quick Start

2.6.2 Translator Rules

Next, select the Rules tab to

view the rules entries for the

translator. In this screen, you

can specify rules that affect the

values local to the translator, or

use values stored in global

variables.

Click on the Add Rule drop-

down list to select the type of

rule that you wish to enter.

After adding the basic rule, edit

the rule parameters with the

drop-down lists. Rules can also

be entered directly into the text

field of the Rules dialog.

In the example, one rule has

been entered that will reverse

the controller value of a

standard MIDI signal. The rule

takes the variable value of the

incoming MIDI signal (for

example, the turning of a MIDI knob going from 0 to 127) and subtracts it

from 127, effectively reversing the signal. Experiment with adding your own

rules and editing the rules parameters. Refer to the Translators section of

the main manual to find out more about Rules.

2.6.3 Outgoing Actions

Now you need to specify what

you want your outgoing action

to be for the translator. Select

an action type from the

dropdown box and enter the

action details in the area

below. Outgoing action types

are varied and depend on the

application you are working

with and what you are trying to

accomplish. Keep in mind that

you can use both local and global variables in your translator entries. In the

example, we are sending a keystroke in response to the Incoming Action: a

keyboard shortcut Command-B.
