Opening a MIDI Translator Project File

If you specify a .bmtp file in the Filename, it will be directly opened in the

running instance of MIDI Translator, unloading the currently running project

file first.

Using Variables in Filename and Parameters

You can include the value of variables in the filename and in the parameters

using the %..% scheme:

Number Representation:

Normal (decimal) value of a variable: %var% or %d var%

e.g.: %pp% will insert the value of the variable pp.

Hexadecimal value of a variable: %x var% or %X var% (upper case)

e.g.: %X pp% will embed the uppercase hexadecimal value of pp

Letter (ASCII character): %c var%

e.g. %c pp% will embed one letter, corresponding to the

ASCII value of pp.

Number Formatting:

You can specify the minimum length of the formatted number. Just specify

the length in digits before the format specifier: %4d pp% will embed the

decimal value of pp with at least 4 characters. If the number pp has less

than 4 digits, the embedded value is prefixed with as many spaces to make

the embedded value 4 characters long. If the number pp has more than 4

digits, the resulting number will be embedded with all (more than 4) digits.

e.g.: %3d pp%, and pp is 51, will result in “ 51”

(note the space in front of “51”)

Prefixing the length with 0 will use zeros for prefixing, if necessary.

e.g.: %05d pp%, and pp is 51, will result in “00051”

Number formatting works with the d, x, and X format specifiers.

Example:

PDF slide viewer with random access to specific pages from MIDI Translator.

You can use this outgoing action in conjunction with an Incoming Action,

e.g. a MIDI controller, to display arbitrary slides.
