I hope you’re all doing well! I’m writing to share some good news and seek assistance with a peculiar issue I encountered while configuring my MIDI setup in ProTools.
Firstly, I managed to successfully assign a knob on my Novation Launchkey Mini Mk3 as desired in ProTools. With the help of Bome MIDI Translator, I was able to map the knob using the ‘Keyboard M-Audio’ mode, which enabled me to access the mapping menu in the plugin window.
However, I’m facing a problem when turning the knob counterclockwise (anticlockwise). It seems to be stuck at its maximum value and won’t return to the minimum value as expected. I’m a bit puzzled about what could be causing this behavior.
I’d greatly appreciate it if someone could lend a helping hand by taking a look at the Bome MIDI Translator preset file I created. It would be immensely helpful if you could explain what I might have overlooked or misunderstood in my setup.
For better context, I’m using ProTools in ‘Keyboard M-Audio’ mode to access the mapping menu within the plugin window, and the MIDI knob control is assigned to my Novation Launchkey Mini Mk3.
If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has expertise in MIDI mapping and Bome MIDI Translator, your insight and guidance would be highly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your support and advice. Looking forward to your valuable contributions.
I can take a look at the project file when I’m back to my main computer, however my guess is your knob is a relative encoder and ProTools is probably expecing and absolute value.
You might want to look at this tutorial on converting Relative to Absolute.
To see if that is in fact the problem. I’d need you to open the Log window in MIDI Translator and capture MIDI IN and paste the results here.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the prompt response!
I appreciate your willingness to take a look at my Bome MIDI Translator project file. That would be incredibly helpful. Also, your insights about the knob being a relative encoder and ProTools expecting an absolute value sound plausible.
I’ll definitely check out the tutorial you mentioned on converting relative to absolute values. It might shed some light on the issue.
Regarding the Log window in MIDI Translator, here are the results when I capture MIDI IN while turning the knob counterclockwise (anticlockwise):
