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.

Midi Translator Setup

To use MIDI Translator open the application and select TranzPort under the ëMidi Iní pull-down menu. The ëMidi Outí menu is used when you want to direct MIDI messages to another piece MIDI gear. 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.

Using the tools within Midi Translator you can edit and save command sets to suit any number of applications. With a little experimentation you may find numerous uses for the TranzPort and Bomeís Midi Translator.
