How do I block certain MIDI messages?

I use a MIDI device that sends out a great deal of unwanted MIDI messages to my host software. How do I setup MIDI translator to block certain MIDI messages while allowing others?

Hi daut30

Well, you can do this two ways. If there are more messages to approve than deny then you can set the controller to work as a passthrough and flag specific messages. To do this you would go into the MIDI Router and draw a line form the controller to a Virtual Port, or directly to the application's MIDI In. In a preset you would then create a translator for each blocked message. The incoming message would be the signal you want to block, and the outgoing message would be empty.

If there are more signals to block then allow, just create translators for each signal you want to pass through.

Does that make sense?
