How can I catch a big sized sysex dump with Bome?

Hello

I have a sysex dump of about 2000 bytes. I would like to know how I can construct a rule to catch that dump and forward that to a destination of my choosing.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm afraid you would need 2000 global variables to do that and right now MT Pro can handle 360 global variable so right now you cannot do that with MT Pro alone. You might need a helper application.  Maybe something like SysEx librarian has command lines that you could use with MT Pro to execute the required capture and send commands?

 

You can however put a static route to move all MIDI messages from any source to any destination.

Can you give me an example of what you mean by static routing?

Hi, it would be simply drawing a line from one input port (the source) to a given output port (the destination), in Bome MIDI Translator Pro router.

There is something that is not clear to me right now. If I select an input port and draw to line to a destination, does it mean that if I have rules listening to that same input port that those rules will be skipped?
Because right now all my 9 virtual bome source ports are in use and I am dying for more virtual bome ports.

Hi, any translators you include, you can put "swallow" as an outgoing option. As long as the translator executes, then the message in question will not go through the default path with the line drawn.

You can direct one input to many output ports. Multiple inputs to multiple one output or any combination thereof.  If you need more virtual ports than 9, then an upcoming version of Bome Network Pro will have an optional upgrade to allow for unlimited virtual ports.

So if I understand this correctly translator execution has precedence over default path with the line drawn?

So Bome MT Pro won’t get more virtual ports than 9? Only Bome Network Pro?

Oh, and is there an easy way to find out which midi ports and channels are in use by rules without going through all the presets one by one?

Yes, if:

  1. Swallow is set
  2. The translator executes it's outgoing action

So Bome MT Pro won't get more virtual ports than 9?

Maybe someday, but not sure of the priorities.

Only Bome Network Pro?

I go to the project level and then look down the right side to see what is open. However just because it is not open doesn't mean a currently inactive preset cannot open it later.
