Bome MIDI Translator Pro
Turns any MIDI, keystroke, serial or timer event into any other. Unglamorous and enormously useful: the tool that makes an arbitrary controller drive software that was never expecting it.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| midi | bidirectional | Core. |
| midi-show-control | bidirectional | MSC messages can be constructed and parsed. |
What to watch for
Rule order matters and a large ruleset becomes hard to reason about. Comment it.
It sits in the middle of the chain, so it is also a place latency and confusion accumulate.
Typical use
- Mapping a cheap controller onto software with no learn function
- Translating between MIDI dialects
- Turning a keystroke into a cue and back
