Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 9 Actions

Swallow MIDI Message / Do Not Route

This option indicated that you wish to NOT retransmit the incoming MIDI

message on to the MIDI Thru destinations specified in the Project Routing

connection screen. So, when an incoming MIDI message matches at least

one Incoming MIDI trigger, the message will not be sent to the MIDI Router.

By specifying None as outgoing action, you can filter out MIDI messages

from the router.

Select MIDI Ports

The Incoming MIDI trigger can be assigned to listen on a specific port if so

required. Select the Specific Ports... radio button, then check the MIDI

port(s) you wish for the translator to listen to. We recommend to use Preset

Default MIDI ports where possible.

Raw MIDI / System Exclusive

When using the raw mode, you can enter any MIDI message, including

system exclusive messages as a sequence of hexadecimal numbers. Check

the MIDI Specification or online sources for more information on raw MIDI

message definitions.

Also, invalid, partial, and multiple concatenated MIDI messages are

possible.

You can embed variables directly into the raw MIDI string instead of a

number. In that case, the MIDI message will match any values at that

position, setting the variable to the incoming MIDI message's value.

Variables in the Incoming MIDI string will always be changed upon a

matching incoming MIDI message, and not touched if the MIDI message

does not match. We recommend to use local variables here, as they are

private to an incoming message, and don't collide if multiple matching MIDI

messages arrive simultaneously.

Raw MIDI Examples

The following are some sample incoming raw MIDI string examples, along

with description. For further instructions on using variables, go to the

chapter Using Rules and Variables.
