Bome's Midi Translator: Tutorial: SCS.3 Quick Start 4 Start Preset editing

4 Start Preset editing

4.1 Play Deck A:

1. Create a Preset with name: A: Global Buttons - To Application
2. Then, you have to overwrite the Alias settings for this Preset:
You have to do this, because we want the Preset only to react on ONE SCS.3d.
3. Create a Translator: Play
4. Edit Translator: Go to: Translator-->Edit translator
5. Select Incoming Action: MIDI
6. Capture MIDI and Press Button Play
7. As Outgoing Action we select KeyStroke Out, cause we have no target MIDI Application at this point. Enter: A: Play Return

4.4 Change to MIDI out and Test

After the test is ok, you know that the 2 decks are working correctly. So you can change the outgoing actions to any value you want. We take 90 11 01 for Play Deck A and 91 11 01 for Deck B. Now open a MIDI test programm for test. In Windows you can take Bome`s send SX (http://www.bome.com/products /sendsx/ ). Open it and take the Virtual Port as Midi In Port you have choosen as Alias "To Application" .
As an alternative for OS X you can use: Midi Monitor(
