Looking for a versatile MIDI mapping, processing, and scripting tool? Check out Bome MIDI Translator Pro, a software application that creates custom MIDI routings, rules, logic, and layers. And with keystroke and mouse emulation, you can control any software on your computer using a MIDI controller. MIDI Translator Pro is well suited for musicians, DJs, controllerists, lighting designers, music studios, TV studios, theaters, photographers, gamers, and research and development for rapid prototyping.

This MIDI and keystroke mapping tool can be used to control arbitrary software by way of MIDI and keystrokes. Its rich feature set also allows it to be used for general Windows automation. For example, you can control your favorite software with a MIDI control surface, use MIDI turntables with arbitrary DJ software, map MIDI messages to other MIDI messages, and much more.

Create your own mappings by defining the translations, or use one of the many pre-existing translation presets. Bome is constantly working on new presets, and the active community expands the available pool of presets, too.

MIDI Translator Pro works by specifying mappings for different input and output types. Below is a list of different trigger types (Incoming) and action types (Outgoing). You can combine them as you wish (e.g. do keystroke-to-MIDI conversion, or MIDI-to-mouse mapping).

• MIDI messages
• Keystrokes
• Timer
• Enable/disable the current preset
• Opening a project file
• Bytes or text on a serial port

A sequence of rules can be defined to be processed if the incoming action matches:

• Assignments of variables, e.g. pp = 20
• Simple expressions, e.g. pp = og + 128
• Labels and goto, e.g. goto "2nd Options"
• Conditional execution, e.g. IF pp < 20 THEN do not execute Outgoing Action

• MIDI messages
• Keystrokes
• Mouse movements
• Create/start/stop timer
• Change active preset
• Enable/disable the current preset
• Execute program
• Send bytes or text to serial ports
• Execute AppleScript (macOS only)
