Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 3 MIDI Setup Guide

Bome MIDI Translator can communicate directly with any MIDI device or

application, allowing it to serve as a powerful hub for MIDI information. A

common use for MIDI Translator's virtual ports would be to synchronize the

MIDI clocks of two applications. Using MIDI Translator's virtual ports, this is

a simple task of linking each application to a Bome virtual MIDI ports, then

connecting them in the MIDI Router.

3.2 MIDI Devices and MIDI Aliases

Devices and aliases represent the different MIDI sources and destinations

available for MIDI Translator to send and receive MIDI data.

Aliases function as dynamic links

to devices, allowing a MIDI

Translator project to be shared

amongst users with different MIDI

hardware and software. When a

Translator entry is created, default

input and output MIDI ports are

assigned to it based on settings in

the Project, Preset and Translator

default ports configuration pages.

When a project file is opened by a

user who has different hardware

and software MIDI ports, the

program will ask the user to

reassign the used ports in the

project to different MIDI devices

that are available on the

computer.

Custom aliases can also be

created, allowing you to create

named ports in your projects to better organize MIDI communications. For

example, it can be beneficial to create named ports in your project such as

"KEYBOARD IN" and "TO APPLICATION" to make your projects more human

readable.

Default MIDI Ports and/or Aliases can be assigned to different elements of

your Bome project, allowing flexibility in routing MIDI data to different

devices.

Default ports can be assigned at the overall Project level, which will dictate

where newly created MIDI translators will receive and transmit MIDI data.

After the Project level, default ports/aliases can be assigned at the Preset

level, allowing you to override the Project default ports and have entire

Presets dedicated to managing the MIDI data coming from or going to a
