So are you still using the Arturia config file I sent you are did you try to MIDI learn over it?
Here are the CC’s required for each drawbar (tt=cc number)
if uu==0 then tt=73
if uu==1 then tt=74
if uu==2 then tt=75
if uu==3 then tt=76
if uu==4 then tt=77
if uu==5 then tt=78
if uu==6 then tt=79
if uu==7 then tt=80
if uu==8 then tt=81

Ah, I see the problem. MIDI Thru paths are getting in the way. I had to add some blocking translators. Give this one a try.

Still no response from drawbars 1-4. It may not be helpful but I’m attaching MT Log Window data from the lower drawbars, going from fully in to fully out.

I can see why in B-3 V2 you have them set like this.
Where they should look like this
So some of your configurations have been ‘unlearned’.
Did you try re-importing the last B-3 B configuration file I sent you?

Success! All drawbars are working now, plus the pedal drawbars. Thanks for all your attention on this. I really appreciate it. I love the feel of the KX-2 keybed and drawbars. Now I’ve got access to better sound for it.
I have a follow-up on this thread. After successfully using Bome on my Mac Mini, I’m having trouble setting things up on a MacBook Air that I use live. I downloaded Bome on it and my Arturia B3V2 recognizes it in its audio MIDI setup, but I’m unable to import the MIDI config that I’ve been using on the Mini. I’ve tried downloading directly from the link a few posts up in this thread and also copying onto a thumb drive from the Mini but when I select ‘Import Config’ on the Arturia, the files are grayed and can’t be selected:
It appears that I’ve got things set up correctly on the laptop, though I could be wrong there. Here’s what it shows in the main window (and the keyboard does play, just without any of the translated drawbar controls):
One thing I should add: I have all my instruments installed on an external SSD but the Bome Translator is installed on the laptop’s hard drive. Would that be a factor in the configs not being available?
You need to use aliases and not your physical port when defining the input and output devices. Here is what your aliases should look like.
Then for inputs you chose ‘Hammond XK2’ and not any other input port.
For outputs you choose ‘Application’ and not any other output port.
This is one the key reasons for using aliases. Your physical ports will likely be named differently on any machine but with aliases, you just assign your alias names to the physical port names on the machine.
You can learn more about aliases from this tutorial.

Thanks Steve. I selected the MIDI devices as you showed:
Then I think I selected the correct input/output:
Pending greyed out means some other application is holding the port open so MT Pro cannot access it. Check your other MIDI applications to ensure you port is not being used elsewhere.
Your B3V2 app should be looking at Bome MIDI Translator 1 for input and you need to change you Hammond XK2 port to the one below what is selected (which is an alias for your FastLane USB #3 Port).

Thank you Steve. I’m up and running on both computers. I admire your patience.
You know your license is only good for one computer at a give time, right?

I didn’t know that and now I wonder if that might have been the original source of the problem. I probably had them both running at some point but I know the Mac Mini was not on when I was troubleshooting today.
No they will still run but if you are using two licenses simultaneously, you really should buy a second license. If you never run at the same time, the 1 license is OK.
