I am trying to use my Behringer BCF 2000 midi console with Grand MA 2 on pc.  I tried following the steps listed on this forum https://www.bomeloft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=12158 and it did not work for me. I feel like I am missing something and I need help.

Hi the instructions were pretty detailed. How far did you get?

Were you able to see any incoming messages from your BCF2000 to Bome MIDI Translator Pro?  Were you able to see outgoing messages to the Bome Virtual Port that you set up as output.  Maybe if you post your current project file and also capture the log in Bome MIDI Translator Pro (copy and paste into a text file and then attach the text file) I can help you further.

There are a lot of people that use GrandMA on PC with MIDI translator and the most common errors are:

  1. Not setting up the input and output ports correctly.
  2. Sending CC messages to GrandMA instead of notes
  3. Not setting up GrandMA to the right input port (you need to select the Virtual MIDI port in GrandMA instead of the BCF2000)
