Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 9 Actions

To define the physical port to an alias, click the Edit button. In order to

remove an alias, use the Delete button. If the alias is used in other

translators, it will likely be recreated. Also, if you load a project file with the

deleted alias, it will be recreated.

The alias assignments are stored on a local computer. When using a project

with serial ports on a different computer, you will first need to define the

serial port aliases.

9.8.3 Configuring the Serial Port

By pressing the Configure button, you can specify the port's connection

settings.

Serial port configuration can be done on both the actual serial

ports, and on serial port aliases.

We recommend to only configure port aliases.

The port configuration is stored in the project

file so you can use different port configurations

in different projects.

Note: prior to version 1.8.2, you could only set

the configuration on serial ports and not on

serial port aliases.

Baud Rate

Use the drop-down list to use one of the usual

baud rates, or enter a custom baud rate

directly. Note that some operating systems

and/or serial port devices may not support all

baud rates. The most common rate for

terminals and the like is 115200. Physical MIDI baud rate is 31250.

Data Bits / Stop Bits / Parity

These definitions specify the physical protocol. They depend on the receiving

serial port device. Most common is 8N1, i.e. 8 data bits, parity None, and 1

stop bit.

Use as MIDI Device

By checking this option, MIDI in and out ports appear inside MIDI

Translator. See the next chapter for details.
