I’m new to this forum and Bome products in general and just discovered this the other day.
Now Im hoping I’ve might come to the right place.
Im considering buy two MIDI Translator Pro licenses, but Im honestly quite the rookie when it comes to anything more then very basic MIDI and I would like to know if Translator Pro really is my solution here.
So first; let me explain what I’ve been doing previously and why it no longer works - hence the need for a new solution.
To clarify - Im on a MacBook M3 and using ProTools studio.
Original solution:
I’ve been sending a MIDI CC# 116 from ProTools to the mac IAC Driver and then back to ProTools again. The command is for ProTools to stop playing - I basicly want ProTools to trigger itself to stop playback at certain places in my session.
Newly discovered problem:
Now this was all working because I ran ProTools ‘M-Audio Keyboard’ as my midi controller and it recognized the IAC.
But the ‘M-Audio Keyboard’ is removed from the current version of ProTools I’m running.
Hopefull solution:
As far as I see my only solution here is to have a virtual program that can appear to be a HUI controller while sending and receiving this MIDI command. Here I found Bome!
Now, is there any way of making the MIDI Translator Pro appear to be a HUI controller and receive and send this MIDI command to ProTools?
Like I said, I’m a novice when it comes to MIDI at this level so I would very grateful for all the help I could get!
The first preset (preset 0) has translator 0.3 which will set a HUI ping reply when Pro-Tools sends a Ping. This tells Pro-Tools that there is an attached HUI device.
Preset 1 has 2 translators.
The first translator sends a HUI Stop signal when Note on MIDI CH 1 note 12 is sent from your controller.
The second translator sends a HUI Play signal when Note-On MIDI CH 1 not 13 is sent from your controller.
You can modify the incoming triggers based on what your controller sends for these functions.
