Is it possible to use Midi translator to translate pedalboard input to fake a press the space key on computer keyboard? That would be very useful for my purposes. ---

Hi, If your pedalboard sends MIDI data then yes. What type of pedalboard do you have? Does it send MIDIdata? Can you provide a link to it if you are not sure? Steve Caldwell Bome Customer Care * * * _Also available for paid consulting services: bome@sniz.biz_ ---

Crumar mojo pedals. It sends midi data. Is it as simple as on this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhun2ZAMFSk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhun2ZAMFSk) If so, then I will be able to do that. Can a Bome translator also map a midi signal to multiple signals? For example, press one key of a keyboard and output a chord to the computer music software to play? Thanks for ypur reply ---

> [@martin.euser](#): > > Is it as simple as on this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhun2ZAMFSk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhun2ZAMFSk) Yes, although for outgoing keystrokes, you might need to focus the given application before sending it. This usually requires 1 translators, one to immediately focus the application and another to send the keystroke with a slight delay. Both translators would have the same incoming trigger. > [@martin.euser](#): > > Can a Bome translator also map a midi signal to multiple signals? Yes, either with multiple translators with the same incoming trigger and each having their own outgoing action. You can also use a single translator and use raw MIDI data to output multiple MIDI messages. > [@martin.euser](#): > > For example, press one key of a keyboard and output a chord to the computer music software to play? Yes, same incoming MIDI signal and send out 3 different note messages. Steve Caldwell Bome Customer Care * * * _Also available for paid consulting services: bome@sniz.biz_ ---

Thanks, Steve, this will keep me busy for a while 🙂
