Difficulty getting translator to work with Dorico on Mac

Since Dorico doesn’t send aftertouch messages, I want to use Bome MIDI Translator to convert a contra channel to Channel Pressure. I’ve chosen CC33, and I want Bome to receive CC33 data on any channel and send the corresponding Channel Pressure on which it was received. I’m not sure how to set Incoming and Outgoing channel for this. Right now I have them both set to oo but I’m hearing silence, even though the log window shows activity. Suggestions?

Hi and welcome to the Bome community!

Please find the attached.

The translator I set up is preset 1 translator 0.

It takes the incoming CC on any channel and assigns the channel number to the local variable “oo”. It looks for only CC33 and then assigns the value to the local variable “qq”.

Then it sends a channel pressure message on MIDI Channel “oo” with the value of “qq”.

Thank you VERY MUCH for that reply. I have things set as you prescribe. The translator is getting signals from Dorico as the log fills up when I play, but somehow I’m still not hearing any sound. Here are my port settings routing the sound out on my U6MIDI interface (Port 2). When I send MIDI to this port directly from Dorico it plays fine, but when I send MIDI to the IAC Driver I hear nothing. Any ideas?

My guess is that you also need to make a MIDI-thru path by adding it to the MIDI router. With my port selection it looks like this. Anything that does not have a translator will get through the MIDI thru path,

Just draw a line from the input to the output with your mouse.
