Pro Tools, Bome Midi Translator, & Serial Controllers *Part 1*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- Here is a current description and example of configuring ANY type of controller to be used in a DAW, such as Pro Tools, and many others! This is part 1 of my detailed example using serial controllers as Midi Controllers using Bome Midi Translator v1.8.
This video just shows the main functions of my setup, and how well BMT works as the "heart & soul" of my controller setup. Part 2 will explain more about the useful options for any cheap serial or midi controller, regardless of what data is sent or received. Feel free to ask questions, and I am happy to share this file for those want to attempt the same type of setup!

Great info buddy!
Hi, fantastic video and especially the preset. Using your preset I was able to get my Behringer X-Touch Compact (generic MIDI controller) to partially work with Pro Tools. Solo, Mute, Rec Arm work perfectly with PT, by replacing the codes you send/receive from your console with those of X-Touch. But I run into a problem with the faders. I can move the faders from my console with PT but not the other way around. When I send PT i.e "B0 00 pp B0 20 00" to move fader 1 by moving the fader on my console (which in my case sends "B0 01 pp"), PT ignores it. The funny thing is that if I flip it to Send A, by sending "B0 0F 0B B0 2F 47 B0 0F 0C B0 2F 43" from your preset, it works! I can move the fader of the Send A, I even tested Send B which also works, but not the main faders. When I flip back from Send to normal faders, PT ignores my signal.
To debug this, rerouted the HUI codes sent by PT to Bome back to PT, skipping my console altogether. I wanted to move Fader2 with Fader1 so I created a Translator that receives B0 00 pp B0 20 qq and sends B0 01 pp B0 21 qq. It does not work. Funny thing again, is that if I flip to Send A, it works. I can move Fader 2(Send A) with Fader 1(Send A). I have Ping activated, as in your example.
Any idea on how to make the main faders work? Are there any "secret codes" that have to be sent in advance for this to work, some sort of initialization? Any Pro Tools settings or anything else?
Thanks in advance for any ideas that you have.
Great info! Do you know how to program a knob for each channel for pannning? I am also stuck with the command to move to previous 8/next 8 tracks if anyone can help me.
Hi Scott , thanks for all the information, your video is top! I Have Sony DMX R100 , Can you help me with my project ? Best Regards
Hey Great video, But do you think you could reupload your MIDI files For Bome because it has been so hard to get it done correctly. Thanks Man
I do think that's possible. Link to the file in the description.
Hello, great video. Could you describe how to assign a fader on my controller to move fader 1 in pro tools in detail? I'm unsure of incoming/outcoming parameters, etc etc. in Bome. Thanks so much!
You can download a copy of my project file for Bome MT and have a look at my controller files (both sending to Pro Tools and received from Pro Tools), as well as the mandatory Ping translators. The only thing that will change on your end are what messages your mixer faders send out... You'll need to change the messages on my file to the messages that match your controller: drive.google.com/file/d/0B0KZ8iemkDtFa1ZCMTRaUHFrRWc/view?usp=drivesdk
Thanks! Really appreciate your help by sending the file. I did study it for a while and understand I have to change my messages, although I'm confused about some preliminary stuff. Such as what to set my peripherals as in Pro Tools (HUI - receive/send), and what ports to use for each entry. Basically I'm trying to get my Allen & Heath ZedR16 to work with Pro Tools 12.7.1. Should I be setting my ports to the ZedR16 or should I be using the Bome Virtual Ports. Or is there something else important that I'm missing. Honestly I'm quite in the dark. I've spent several days researching on the internet but have had no luck with a resource to help my specific situation. I just want to be able to move a fader on my controller and have the fader move in Pro Tools :) Any other help or insight is greatly greatly appreciated! You clearly know what you are talking about judging by your video. Thank in advance!
+Ink of the Dragon Page 47 of your user manual will show exactly what messages your ZED r16 sends. All you need to do is connect to your computer, and have your mixer show up as a midi device. You can then open the log in BMT and open your ZED, it should appear as a midi device. Once you have signal into BMT from buttons or faders, you can use my template. Virtual ports 1-4 are used in PT under HUI

It appears Bome is not required for your situation
Do you think I can set up a JL Cooper CS-10 Midi Controller with Pro Tools HD 12? This looks very detailed (which I have no problem), but what tutorial do you suggest to help me catch the concept and learn how to implement this?
I'd be glad to send you my template. Bome Midi Translator can allow the CS-10 and many other controllers to work with Pro Tools. It's definitely possible
Thank you so much . . I've been at this for a week now, and was about to give up. I have Bome Midi Translator, but I just couldn't configure it. But with your template, I know that I can tweak it for the CS-10. I will need the HUI for Pro Tools also, probably. My email is: k1eprojectstudio@gmail.com
Is the MIDI Translator file you used available as a starting point (would save lots of typing) :-)
Sure
+Skhot “MegaMan” K Can you post a link or what's the best way? I didn't see a way to send a private message on your account page.
Actually you can now go to my link and click the about to get an email address for me. Thanks!
i have an mcs 3800/ midi interface with pt 8 le for mac . im having issues with setup . any advice?
Maybe, that controller may send and receive different messages, so you'll need to find out what those message are, and use this program to translate and route the midi
Thanks, any mac compatible program like yours??
Bome Midi Translator is available for OSX. Feel free to check it out and start using your control surface.
Thankd alot ill try it out
Hey Scott, would you be able to supply a preset for this? Cheers.
