Keystroke Down/Up to MIDI CC - MIDI Translator Pro

Using Bome MIDI Translator Pro is it possible to set a keystroke down (for example, shift down) to send a CC note with a value of 127, and send the same CC note with a value of 0 on keystroke release/up (shift up).

I am trying to utilise a momentary USB keystroke pedal for talkback functionality. So on press down a CC note is sent, and then again on release.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the Bome Forum!

Yes, this is possible. I have attached an example with two translators. The first one sends CC 0 value 127 when you press shift and he second one sends CC 0 value 0 when released. Keep in mind that the original keystrokes are NOT suppressed.

Fantastic! Thanks Steve.

One more question - is it possible to output multiple CC’s with the same keystroke? So two CC values simultaneously on keystroke down, for example.

Yes, there are two ways.

  1. Create another translator with the same incoming action and different cc output
  2. Using One translator use Raw MIDI for example B0 00 7F B0 01 7F
    This would output CC0 MIDI CH 1 value 127 and CC1 MIDI CH 1 values 127.
    7F is the hex value for 127

Thank you!

A small fix:
B0 00 7F B0 01 F7

Edit: finally every typo corrected: B0 00 7F B0 01 7F

No that will not work. F7 is only allowed for end of SysEx message

B0 00 7F = CC0 MIDI CH 1 value 127
B0 01 7F = CC1 MIDI CH 1 value 127
