Hi, we are happy to announce a two part tutorial to show you how to use a MIDI Controller to work as an IR remote controller. So you can control pretty much any device which has an infrared remote -- using MIDI!
Part 1: How to build the solution with Bome MIDI Translator Pro: https://youtu.be/BQ_MXdkXpiE
Part 2: Put the solution on the BomeBox: https://youtu.be/78atPb_gDdg
The MIDI Translator project file from the tutorial is attached below.
