Hi
I would love to make it work, but for some unexpected reasons I can’t:
(First of all, I’m on Mac, 10.13.6, and I’m using Midi Translator Pro Trial 1.8.2 build 853 for now. I will purchase it of course, if I can see it working on my Mac.)
This is what I do:
I want for this example ‘CMD+Backspace’ to delete files when playing a MIDI note on a MIDI Keyboard (Korg NanoKey2)
-I press P+ (New Preset)
-I name the preset (for the example: “Delete”)
-I press the MIDI Port symbol, and I see ‘Project Default MIDI Ports’ opening
-I see my MIDI keyboard in the list, I activate it as Input. Port status indicates ‘open’
(*)
-I don’t activate any MIDI output, as I’m looking for remoting a Key Stroke
-I press T+ (Add Translator)
-I name the translator as well (I name it ‘DELETE’)
-I press to the translator and go to ‘Incoming’.
-I see ‘MIDI Message’ and ‘Note On’, I keep these options without modifying them
-I activate ‘Capture MIDI’, and press the central ‘C’ key on my MIDI keyboard
-I see activities in the ‘Incoming’ window (below ‘Note ON’).
This is what I see:
MIDI 90 48 7F
Note On on ch.1 with note:72 (0x48) and velocity:127 (0x7F)
Note On on ch.1 with note:72 (0x48) set ‘pp’ to velocity
MIDI 80 48 40
Note Off on ch.1 with note:72 (0x48) and velocity:64 (0x40)
Note Off on ch.1 with note:72 (0x48) set ‘pp’ to velocity
-I go to ‘Ougoing’
-I select ‘Key Stroke’
-Key Stroke action: I select ‘Physical Keys’
-I press on the line below to select it
-I press COMMAND+BACKSPACE on my Mac Qwerty Keyboard.
-I see: ‘Right Command’, and I press ‘Backspace’ below.
I can see: ‘RightCommand Backspace’
(I notice the Preset and the Translator are still appearing selected, in yellow.
*Just adding this info: I have tried the same process with a MIDI keyboard sending MIDI notes, and with another MIDi keyboard sending CC Numbers, and had the same result)
Now, I select a file to delete in my hard drive
I press the MIDI Key on the same MIDI Keyboard.
And nothing happens. The file is not getting deleted.
Though, I see the same MIDI message appearing in the activity monitor in Midi Translator/ ‘Incoming’ window, each time I press the key on my MIDI keyboard, unless I unactivate ‘Capture MIDI’.
I’ve tried the same process with other Key Strokes, such as Command (w), Command (s), etc, and had the same result.
In the ‘Event Monitor’, when I press the MIDI Note, I can see ‘MIDI In’ reacting, and nothing else.
Do I do anything wrong, or am I missing a step?
Looks like the app is receiving the MIDI data, understands how to transform it into the Key Stroke, but doesn’t play the Key Stroke when I press the MIDI key.
Any idea, any troubleshooting help would be more than appreciated!
All the best from Paris
