Simplest question - creating easy functioning rule in midi translator pro

Very new to this, and I thought I'd start by setting up the simplest midi processing rule, using an example that I see: pp = 127 - pp. pp is set up under incoming as the variable for a note value. the midi routing is working fine - i'm successfully sending notes from my hardware sequencer to a synth. But the rule isn't doing anything. Obviously something else is required, but I'm not finding it very easily. hoping for a simple answer so I can just get started....

Hi,

Please see the attached.

First I have created to aliases which I have assigned existing MIDI ports. Doing this lets me change things around without hardcoding port names if the configurations change.

I made sure the ports are opened at the project level by checking the aliases check boxes.

Then I create a MIDI thru path using the MIDI router. Anything that does not go through a translator ( with "swallow" set) will go through this path.

 

Then I created 2 translators. One for note-on and one for note-off.

I assign the incoming note number pp and velocity qq

In rules I add 5 to pp.

On output I send out the incremental note number which goes out 5 semitones up from the incoming note.

I've attached screen shots and the project file.

thanks! this will be very helpful. Thought (somehow) that the note offs would be taken care of, but you obviously do need a separate translator for that. I also hadn't been getting any sound when checking the 'swallow' option.

this should get me started. I appreciate it.

My pleasure!
