I want to use a midi controller to perform keystroke associate with my daw shortcut.
i struggle as my daw receive the midi note but not the keystroke translation
i create a new translator
Capture the incoming midi message
set outgoing to keystroke-physical key-perform the physical key tap
i see the incoming and outgoing message followed by swallow
but did not translate in my daw as expected
What am i missing
thanks
Hi,
In order for the DAW to see the keystroke , it must have focus.
In MT Pro 1.9.0 you could actually create 2 translators to make this happen…
Translator 1 would be MIDI in and outgoing action would be to Activate the Application
Translator 2 would be the same MIDI in trigger but with an outgoing action of the keystroke with a delay of maybe 10ms to give time for Translator 1 to complete the focus first. You could play with the delay to get it short enough that it is not recognizable yet long enough to give Translator 1 enough time to focus the application

Hey Steve,
i must do somethig wrong, did as you said
1st translatior to have Studio One.exe in focus
than the 2nd translator with different delay from 200 ms to 1 sec
no result
the midi message pass through the daw as i can monitor it from Studio one
but the keystroke does not come through
All good Steeve, had to select any midi note as the controller is set to midi note message
and any velocity
is it the way to go… it works now
ahaha any note not good, sorry for the learning curve
now every midi note translate to the same keystroke
ok got it just have to select the specific note
good to go thanks
Yes, more than likely your control sends variable velocity so you might just need to select the proper note number with note-on any velocity.
