I'm having the same problem as studio-ettikit, but I'm dumber than he is. I'm new to Bome's MT and I've been trying to figure out how to send toggle messages. I entered the info you displayed, but I don't think I did it right. I went to the rules and selected "comment", then I entered the code exactly the way you listed it, from beginning to end. Then I went to the outgoing stage but I didn't know what to settings to enter. Please take pity on me and help me understand.

Hi redirishman

I split this into its own topic for simplicity's sake.

Can you tell me the incoming message from your controller? What is the note you are trying to convert from a momentary to a toggle?

Thanks
Jared

The incoming signal is; 93 91 7F (Note on) AND 83 91 7F (note off)

So, realistically, all you need to do is convert the 83 message. The 93 is sending an on message as expected. What we need to do is have MT filter the 83 message out, and then have the 93 work as a toggle.

This is what it should look like

Code: Select all

Translator 1: Momentary to Latch

MIDI Message 
Note On
Channel: 3 - Channel 4
Note:  91 - G6
Velocity: 127

Rules
g0=g0+1
if g0>1 then g0=0
if g0==0 then pp=0
if g0==1 then pp=127

Outgoing
MIDI Message
Note On
Channel: 3 - Channel 4
Note: 91 - G6
Velocity: pp

And for the 83 message, just put that in as

Code: Select all

Translator 2: Note Off

MIDI Message
Note Off
Channel: 3 - Channel 4
Note: 91 - G6
Velocity: 127

Rules
None

Outgoing
None

Does that make sense? Don't paste the Rules into the Description or Comments, paste it right into the text box.

Ya I got it, thanks for your patience. This program is very intimidating at first and it takes a bit of time to grasp how it works. But the payoff is definitely worth it.
