A newbie question here, from someone using the trial version. This is probably a set-up or routing question:
Setting up the following simple translation works fine if I am trying to control a program that is not receiving midi messages: Key on = Mouse-click (which because of the mouse position minimizes the program). In other words, if I have MS Word open along with Midi Translator, position my mouse pointer over Word's Minimize button, and press the assigned note on my keyboard, Word will be minimized.
However, if I instead try to send this same mouse click to a music program that is receiving midi commands, this does not work. (I have tried this with Mulab and Pianoteq.) The program just sits there staring at me. Reading other posts on the forum, I do not see other people having trouble with music programs. Of course, I am wanting to do more than just minimize a window, but other mouse clicks also do not work in these musics programs. Am I missing a basic routing configuration?
