TranzPort and Midi Translator

Bomeís MIDI Translator is a simple to use PC-based application that converts incoming MIDI messages into other MIDI messages or keystrokes. It can be used with the TranzPort to provide basic control over applications that may not otherwise support external controllers, such as Windows Media Player.

The installer can be downloaded at Bome.com. In addition to the basic installer you can also download various presets including one created specifically for the TranzPort and Windows Media Player. Just unzip the file TranslatorPreset_Tranzport_WMP and copy into the c:\Program Files\Bomeís Midi Translator\Presets folder.

In the ëPresetí window select ìTranzPort Media Player Controllerî. A set of predefined messages will appear in the translation window. This preset will give you basic control of Windows Media Player. With WMP open and in the foreground you will have transport control as well as mute, loop, and track selection.
