Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 11 Settings
Notify when minimized to tray / menu bar:
If this option is checked, minimizing to tray/menu bar will pop up a
balloon window to tell you where MT Pro had been minimized to – i.e.
the tray / menu bar icon.
Show Tool Tips
If this option is enabled (default), most buttons and other program
elements show a small explanation when hovering the mouse over it.
You can disable this behavior by unchecking this option.
11.3 Options
In the Options section, general other options can be set.
Suppress outgoing keystroke when focused
If checked (default), outgoing keystrokes are only emulated if MIDI
Translator is not the currently active application. This is to prevent
accidental activation of functions in MIDI Translator.
Ignore incoming keystrokes when focused
If checked, incoming keystrokes will not trigger corresponding
incoming actions if MIDI Translator is not the currently active
application. This is to prevent accidental activation of functions in MIDI
Translator.
11.4 Confirm
Many actions in MIDI Translator will prompt you for confirmation. They
usually come with a checkbox “do not show again”. Once disabled, you can
enable such confirmation prompts again by checking them here.
11.5 Virtual MIDI Ports
Bome MIDI Translator includes built-in virtual MIDI port drivers that enable
the end user to send to and receive from other applications. This way you
can seamlessly link up MIDI Translator as “man in the middle” between a
MIDI device and an application without using any 3rd party software. Up to
nine sets of virtual MIDI ports may be installed at any one time, allowing
expanded control and flexibility of your MIDI routing.
Number of Virtual Ports
In the drop-down list, simply choose how many pairs of virtual MIDI ports
you require in your processing (1 virtual MIDI port = 1 MIDI IN, 1 MIDI
OUT), select Apply and follow the on-screen hardware installation
instructions similar to the product installation covered in the Quickstart
guide.
