Bome MIDI Translator: User's Manual 9 Actions

press the MIDI key and select the Note On variant in from the

captured events. Make sure you select “any” for the velocity. As

outgoing action, use “Key Stroke Down”. Enter the letter/key to be

“typed” in the text field (e.g. "X"). Enable the Key Repeat box.

2. Now duplicate the first translator and edit it: change the incoming

message to Note Off (keep everything else). Change the Outgoing

action's Key Stroke to “Up” and re-type the letter (e.g. “X”).

Now switch to a text editor and press the key on your MIDI Keyboard down.

As long as you keep it pressed, the letter "X" will be typed repeatedly. Once

you release the key, the keystroke emulation stops, too.

9.2.3 Injected Keystroke Events (Windows only)

On Windows, you can inject keystroke events directly to a specific

application. For programs with which it works, you can type into programs

without the need to activate them.

Injecting key strokes only works on Windows. It does not work

with every program, however, and you will need to test with

your application of choice.

Injecting keystrokes can make your projects

much more robust because it will still work

when (accidentally) another program is

activated, and you can control multiple

programs with key strokes without the need

to switch the active window.

For injecting key strokes, check that option

in the Outgoing action, then click on the

Capture button. Moving your mouse will now

show a green rectangle around every

recognized window and sub window. Click

on the window or sub window you want to

target with the injected key strokes. Use the

Find button to see if the window definition is

sufficient to find the corresponding window.

We recommend to always test if the injected key stroke works. Often,

application windows are layered and you may need to experiment a bit to

find the suitable sub window for injecting key strokes.

Sometimes, it can even work to directly inject, say, SPACE to a button sub

window, effectively clicking the button.
