Hi Alessandro,

If I understand correctly, you want to put MT Pro "in between" the device and the XP Editor. Now I don't know how the "XP Editor" detects the USB ports. If it is configurable, and they verify the ports by way of MIDI messages, you can do it like this:

MIDI Translator:
MIDI IN:
[x] USB Device
[x] MT Virtual In 1

MIDI OUT:
[x] USB Device
[x] MT Virtual Out 1

MIDI Router:
USB Device -> MT Virtual Out 1
MT Virtual In 1 -> USB Device

XP Editor:
MIDI IN: Bome Midi Translator 1
MIDI OUT: Bome Midi Translator 1

Now if that works and you could successfully trick XP Editor to believe that the virtual ports "are" the USB device, you can start adding Translator Entries to Midi Translator. Make surre that you set preset default MIDI ports, or MIDI ports directly in the translator entry:
- use USB Device as input and MT Virtual Out 1 as output to filter messages from the device to the XP Editor
- use MT Virtual In 1 as input and USB Device as output to filter messages from the XP Editor to the device

Otherwise I don't see a way to fool the XP Editor...
