executed one after another, because both Incoming Actions will be

triggered from the (matching) event. Note that for this to work, you

must uncheck “Stop Processing”.

2. For the MIDI outgoing action, you can use the Raw MIDI outgoing type

and concatenate multiple message directly in the MIDI message field,

e.g.: 90 40 7F 90 44 7F 90 4A 7F will play 3 notes directly.

3. For a different way to trigger multiple Outgoing Actions “at once”, see

Timer with 0ms.

13.6 Performance Optimization

For most use cases, MIDI Translator's performance will be near real time, so

there should not be the need to optimize. However, for larger projects (i.e.

100's of Presets / 1000's of Translators), it will be worthwhile to know some

optimization techniques.

13.6.1 Deactivate Presets

Every Translator is “processed” for every event when its owning Preset and

itself are active. Now for a couple hundred Translators this will not be a

problem, but you may experience a performance degradation in large

projects (also depending on processor).

One easy way to optimize your project is to make sure that you disable as

many Presets as possible. When a Preset is disabled, none of its Translators

are even looked at during processing of an event. So it's worthwhile to

group Translators that are used together into Presets and activate the

Presets as needed.

For example, let's say that the first Preset is an “Initialization” preset with

100 Translators that execute after the project was opened. Subsequently,

after initialization is fully done, every Incoming Event will walk through

those 100 initialization Translators before reaching any useful Presets.

A straight forward way to solve this is to add a last Translator to the

Initialization preset like this:

Preset 0: "Initialization"

Translator 0: init 1

Incoming: On Project Opened

Outgoing: [initialization 1]

...

Translator N: "deactivate Init preset"

Incoming: On Project Opened

Outgoing: Deactivate Preset "Initialization"
