It’s been a while since I’ve tried to hand in to BMT Pro.
Recently, I have been trying to chain translators/presets together in Bome MIDI Translator Pro, where the output of one translator (in another preset) should be treated as the input for a toggle/switch translator.
By far, able to change the MIDI value, but not able to use that as input for another translator from another preset.
Thank you very much for everything; you’ve been very helpful to me in the past.
If you use Bome MIDI Translator virtual ports, then 1 end of the port needs to be Bome MIDI Translator Pro and the other end must NOT be Bome MIDI Translator Pro. That is the only way our virtual ports work.
You can either use the new Perform method and pass parameters using it, or you can use global variables to communicate between translators. Perform is available since V 1.9.0 and is the preferred method since it doesn’t require use of global variables.
If you want to send MIDI messages between translators, you could use third party solutions like loopMIDI or loopBE or similar, However I do not recommend this because it increases the chance of MIDI loops which could cause race conditions. It also uses more system resources (4 system calls vs 2 to communicate between translators).
You can search our tutorial to see how to use Perform. It is also in the latest Bome MIDI Tranlslator Pro user guide (Use help menu or press F1 within Bome MIDI Translator Pro.
