Tutorial: Converting CC to Note message using Bome MIDI Translator Pro

Hi, user submitted a comment to a Bome tutorial on Youtube. I’m answering it here.

It would be possible to convert CC going up to a note at 127 and CC going down to another note at 0…And that this same conversion is already detected by the software and used in it.

The attached project file should do the trick. We look at CC 21 on input and if you turn right then put out Note-On Note 10 MIDI CH 1 with velocity 127. If you turn left it puts out Note 11 MIDI CH 1 with velocity of 127.

Three simple rules in control the outgoing note number. Most relative encoders, however put out 127 for left and 1 for right so if it is reversed, just change the comparison operators.

Hi Steve.
I would like to convert a pad that outputs a CC message to a midi note, but I need it to work so that when you are holding down the pad it’s continuously sending out the note and then sends a note off message when you pull off the pad. How would I tweak this to accomplish that? The pad is set to momentary and I am unable to change it to toggle because the control software is no longer being updated. Thanks!

Hi, see this tutorial.
