MIDI tranlator

Simple question.
How can I use midi translator to translate a midi note to an qwerty letter and output this to a specific program so that I can type different letters to that program using my midi keyboard.

In general, the way to go is this:

1 Create a new Translator
2 Edit the Translator:
2.1 select MIDI as Incoming Action. You can use the capture function to show whatever iscoming in from MIDI (you need to have set up
2.2 Select Keystroke as Outgoing Action. Type in the key (sequence) that you want.[/list=][/list=]
2.3 Check "Stop Processing" (optional)

From then on, each time that the specific MIDI message is received, the key is "pressed".

Hi. kind of new to this but was able to create one complete translation including the midi incoming action, and keyboard out action.

I'm using a program called AtomixMP3 to mix music (dj software) and am using a Behringer bcd-2000 mixing console.

Atomix has keyboard shortcuts built in and I'm trying the midi translator to activate the keystrokes. I'm not getting any response however to the atomix program.

Is there something I could be missing? What should I check for.

thank-you

There are a some programs which do not get Midi Translator's generated key strokes. (in particular when they use DirectInput for getting raw keyboard information). You may want to check with the Atomix guys why Midi Translator does not work with their software.

Independently, I'm working on a feature to have keystrokes recognized even by DirectInput programs (it'll take months, though).
