In Bome midi translator pro, in log window, there are filters for in/out/rules…

But is there a source (port) filter?

How to see what is going on a certain port only?

Thanks!

Hi, and welcome back!

If you want to only monitor in the log window a given MIDI port, you can use a unique port match string in the filter box.

To monitor a given input.

1. Select the desired input ports at the project level
2. Select MIDI IN as an option in the log window
3. Add your filter in

Now if you want your translators only to act on a given input port, please look at the tutorial about device selection.

For more information about device selection, see [this tutorial](https://youtu.be/KunN2A1rKMY).
