Hello all! Trying to advance scenes on the Allen & Heath dLive S7000 using the Bome Box. Roland DP-2 is connected via ¼" to a AudioFront MIDI Expression. MIDI Expression then connects to Bome Box via MIDI cable and USB. PoE out of Bome Box to Network port on the rear of the S7000 Surface.
On the Bome Box website, we are showing connected on the Allen & Heath MIDI page to the A&H MixRack. I’m also seeing a light next to the MIDI connection on the Bome Box when I press the DP-2 pedal. On The MIDI Expression app, I’m seeing connection: Channel 4, CC 64, Release 0, Pressed 127. The S7000 surface is set to Main MIDI Channels 1-5. Go CC Number is 64. Go CC Value is 127. Send MIDI is disabled. Receive MIDI is enabled.
For MIDI translation, you need to also purchase Bome MIDI Translator Pro as the trial version projects will not run on BomeBox.
With that said, I’ve included a project file that should work as long as you do not modify it. If you have the purchased version of Bome MIDI Translator Pro then you can modify it as you would like as projects in the purchased version includes signing so will run on BomeBox.
The project file has one translator that takes CC64 on MIDI CH 4 as input. It outputs banks change and program change to select the next scene as defined in the A&H dLive MIDI Protocol Document.
Thanks so much for the quick reply. I’m attaching screenshots. The dLive S7000 is still not connecting, and I’m not sure what I’m missing. I’ve purchased the full license of the MIDI Translator Pro.
Your aliases need setting up to the proper devices. This will be assigned differently when running your project on your BomeBox or your computer. In my case, my BomeBox name is “FOH” and I have a MIDI Baby 3 pedal for my pedal and my dLive is called “dLive Mix Rack”.
Hello! I am still struggling to connect these devices. I have tried every connection, but still have the S7000 showing up as ‘Pending’ under MIDI Output in the Web portal.
In the Bome Network Tool, I don’t see the option for ‘Remote Direct MIDI’.
I’ve attached additional screenshots. I’m sure I’m missing something stupid, but I cannot figure it out.
You may need to do the same for the MIDI pedal you have attached to the BomeBox as input.
Let’s see where you are with this and then determine where to go.
If you cannot see the S7000 on your A&H page, you may need to add it manually by provide its IP address and desired network port.
For example “192.168.0.136:48150”

I’ve attached a screenshot. While the webpage says the A&H is connected, when I go into the Remote Direct MIDI page, the toggle turns red instead of green.
According to this article it looks like a Surface is a client like the BomeBox so I don’t think you can connect the BomeBox (a client) to a Surface (another client). You will need to connect to a MixRack.
In this case, you can recall scenes with BomeBox (to the MixRack) but not cues (to the surface).
You should double check this information with A&H as they are the experts on their devices.

You are also running a MT Pro project on your BomeBox. In this case your project should only be running on your computer so shut down your project on your BomeBox. The project on on your BomeBox is taking control of the dLive port. Once the project on your BomeBox has stopped, you should be able to connect to your Remote Direct MIDI port on your computer.

In Bome Network, turn off and then back on the switch for the “RMT dLive S7000” and also for your 'BomeBox DIN" port (assuming that is where you have your pedal plugged in.
In Bome MIDI Translator Pro assign the alias “MIDI Pedal” to “BomeBox :BomeBox DIN”.
Assign the alias “S7000” to “BomeBox:RMT dLive S7000”.
