Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 9 Actions

The Script will use copies of the variables so any changes to the

variables in AppleScript code will not be reflected back to the

MIDI Translator engine. This is only possible via the

setVariable() handler (see Modifying MT Variables below).

Specifying a Unique Handler Name

You can optionally specify a handler name for the Outgoing AppleScript

action. If you do that make sure to use a unique name: you must not use

the same handler name anywhere else in an Outgoing Action or in the

Project Global AppleScript section.

As a rule of thumb, never set the handler name of an

Outgoing Action unless you want to call it from another

AppleScript section.

Call Outgoing AppleScript from other Outgoing Actions

The AppleScript outgoing action is internally implemented as a handler. For

that you must specify a unique handler name in the Outgoing Action. Now

that handler is also available from other AppleScript actions and from the

global AppleScript section.

Modifying MT Variables

From inside AppleScript code in the Outgoing Action, you can access global

variables directly:

setVariable(<Name>, <value>)

getVariable(<Name>)

For this to work, you must have installed MIDI Translator in the

Applications folder.

Example: increase iTunes volume

-- increase volume, stored in g0

set vol to getVariable("g0")

set vol to vol + 10

setVariable("g0", vol)

tell application id "com.apple.iTunes"

set the sound volume to vol

end tell

display notification "The volume is now: " & (g0 as text)
