common attributes such as MIDI in/out/thru settings, appearance

named Presets, which may be switched and activated separately, as

well as an '[always active]' preset, which is perpetually active.

translation of a single 'Incoming Action' event through to a single

'Outgoing Action' event.

Translator or Preset.

Incoming Action: An Incoming Action (or Incoming Trigger) is the

definition that causes an associated Translator to start. Incoming

Actions can be e.g. MIDI message, Keystroke, Timer expired, Preset

Changes, ...

Outgoing Action: An Outgoing Action is the definition of the action to

execute when a translator's Incoming Action is triggered. An Outgoing

Action event can be for example a MIDI message sent to a MIDI port,

an emulated keystroke, starting a Timer, etc.

will generate (repeated) events that can be processed by way of a
