Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 6 The Project

6.3 MIDI Ports and Aliases

The MIDI Ports list is where you set your incoming and outgoing MIDI ports,

as well as where you specify project aliases. Simply mark the checkbox next

to the MIDI IN and OUT ports you wish to use in your project and they will

become available for use in translators.

Any project that is opened from another user with different MIDI hardware

will STILL have entries for their unique MIDI incoming and outgoing

settings. Using the MIDI ports list(s), one can reassign the MIDI

assignments of a project to point to any combination of hardware and/or

software MIDI ports.

To create a new MIDI port alias, simply click on the Create Alias button

under the MIDI port listing. A new alias will be created, which can be named

anything and assigned to any hardware or software MIDI port.

MIDI Aliases are useful for working with multiple input and output MIDI

sources, such as connecting multiple hardware MIDI devices, or connecting

one or more hardware MIDI devices to multiple software inputs.

6.4 MIDI Router

The MIDI Translator Router is a

powerful but simple way for MIDI

Thru connections to be made

between MIDI Interfaces. All

detected MIDI IN ports and aliases

are displayed on the left column of

the screen, while MIDI OUT

interfaces and aliases are displayed

on the right side. Simply drag and

drop a line between the two ports

you wish to create a THRU

connection between and one will be

created, represented by a solid line

connecting them.

MIDI THRU connections can span from one MIDI IN port to many MIDI OUT

ports. This will effectively duplicate all MIDI messages to the connected

MIDI OUT ports.

Conversely, you can create connections from multiple MIDI IN ports to a

single MIDI OUT port. This results in MIDI messages being merged.

To access the MIDI Router, select it from the MIDI menu, or scroll down in

the project properties.
