I’m not sure what happened. I was previously able to get midi in from BomeBox to midi translator, but now it’s not showing up.
I am connected to the bomeBox Wifi using bome midi network.
Midi Translator Pro shows the Bomebox DIN as open.
My midi controller is plugged into Bomebox DIN, and the lights by the DIN port light up when I send midi into it.
No MIDI in shows up in the Midi Translator Event window, or in the midi capture for midi translator.
I might be missing something I figured out earlier, but it really seems like this is not the expected/desired behavior.
Does anyone have any suggestions for debugging?
I suspect you may have another application on your computer hold the MIDI port open. If you close all other MIDI applications, it should work.
Many applications automatically select newly discovered ports when you open the application and you have to deselect them so that they behave. On Windows, only one application can handle a given MIDI port at a time. For this, in MT Pro we often use virtual ports is we want to use the controller port and then we pass the MIDI messages we don’t care about on to the application via a virtual port.
I suspect if you look on Bome MIDI Translator the port will show a pending which usually means another application has control of the port.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the quick response.
I’ve attached a couple of screenshots.
Bome network says it’s connected, and Midi Translator shows the port as open.
I still see the lights on the Bomebox DIN go on, but no Midi in signal or midi capture in Midi translator.
Thanks,
rob
Change your aliases for BomeBox DIN to point to:
BomeBox:BomeBox DIN
instead of:
BomeBox
You are reading and writing to the main network port of the BomeBox an not to BomeBox DIN.
You would need to use Remote Direct MIDI for that by going to the Bome Network tool, clicking on BomeBox then turn on the network Remote Direct MIDI Port.
Alternately, if you don’t want to use Remote Direct MIDI, log into your BomeBox and go to the MIDI Routing page and set up as follows. Your computer name will be different. My computer name is Steve-Gaming.
Then you could just open the ‘BomeBox’ port since you are doing the routing from BomeBox DIN within your BomeBox.
