9.1 MIDI

9.1.1 Incoming MIDI

With MIDI Translator, you can use any

MIDI message as a trigger for your

actions. You can either select from a

number of predefined messages

(simple mode), or use the raw/system

exclusive mode to enter the MIDI

message as raw hexadecimal values

(raw mode).

Whenever a MIDI message is

received, all translators with the

incoming action type MIDI are

checked in the order they appear in

the preset(s). The incoming message

definition is compared to the incoming

action of each translator and if they

match the Rules and Outgoing Action

are executed.

Capture MIDI

The simplest way to define a new MIDI incoming action is to use the

Capture MIDI feature (covered in the Quick Start guide) to capture the

incoming MIDI information while you are pressing a MIDI keyboard key,

turning a knob or otherwise. By default, all incoming messages will be

displayed as an English description (simple mode). Only System Exclusive,

and non-standard messages will be displayed in raw format using

hexadecimal notation.

Clicking on a message in the capture panel will select that message as

incoming trigger.

Uncheck Capture MIDI (or press Alt+C) to stop displaying incoming MIDI

data. Click the X button to close the Capture MIDI panel.

Note that Capture MIDI always displays incoming MIDI

messages from all currently opened MIDI devices, regardless of

selected MIDI ports for the translator.
