Hi, this confuses me because you cannot hook extra footswitch to an FCB1010. It has relays that you can use to trigger other analog functions.

Yeah, sorry. I was trying to leave out any irrelevant details. 
I have a modded FCB1010 with Gordius Tinybox + Jackbox Extension that allow me to attach two extra foot switches and expression pedals to FCB1010, and they extend the FCB’s banks with extra midi pedals.

So your touch OSC send to BomeBox via USB?

Currently via network routing (TouchOSC bridge to BBox)
[quote="SteveC, post:5, topic:4897”]
BomeBox does have multiple streams if you use Remote Direct MIDI on your computer. You can have your computer monitor the attached FCB (MIDI DIN) port and any attached USB ports separately on your computer.

Sorry I wasn’t clear on this one. I meant this like I asked for earlier here:
Also, it would be cool to be able to route the virtual ports from virtual out to virtual in, within BomeBox, without extra routing software or physical cables.
[quote="SteveC, post:5, topic:4897”]
Since Remote Direct MIDI was introduced, I almost never use the main network port.

I want to do as much of the translating inside BomeBox as possible, that’s why I wish to have multiple BomeBox net-streams available.
[quote="SteveC, post:5, topic:4897”]
The other thing you say is you want to change the behavior of your pedals. With an incoming MIDI message. I usually do this by switch presets within the project file (in this case running on the BomeBox).
You could send a MIDI message from your Touch OSC to the BomeBox Project and then switch a preset or change a variable in the project running on BomeBox to change the behavior of the pedals of your FCB1010 that goes back out through a different Remote Direct MIDI Port to your computer (and Ableton Live).

That’s basically how I have it set up, but as I already have a whole lot of translating going on inside the BomeBox for these specific FCB1010 midi messages, I’d have to go the extra loop, to get the translated messages from the extra pedals show up on the BomeBox’s input for the ’original’ translations.
There are many ways of achieving what I’m after, Im sure, and I think I’ll get there one way or another.
I only realized this could be very easily done with this possibility to route virtual ports freely (from out to in too) within BomeBox, and I remembered thinking about this earlier too, so I thought I should mention the idea here. Also, it would bring a new set of possibilities when running BomeBox ”standalone” / without a computer or Midi Translator Pro.

Maybe I’m still missing the point.

I’m probably too tired to explain this properly too, even to myself at this point. (It’s 4am here)
Hard, of course to summarize my setup too…
I’m quite familiar with the shift layer and global variable options, but I’ll still watch the videos.
Thank you for your help and ideas!
