midi CC's to note messages

Hi all, First time posting here.

I'm sure this is a pretty common question, but I can't find an answer to it, here or anywhere.

Here's my situation - I've just gotten a Leap Motion controller, and I am running it with the Geco software (yeah, my original name, heh).

It only sends CC's though, and I am trying to use Bome to translate the CC's into note messages. But, I have no idea what a note message writes down as! I've copy/pasted this string "93 45 4F", which Bome tells me is "Note on #4, A4, vel79" I thought that sounded close enough to a MIDI note, but I'm not getting any output from my soft synth.

I can only assume the soft synth is receiving Bome's messages, too. I do see the lights lighting up at the botton, so that's good. I've got the "active" box checked, and I've unchecked the "swallow incoming MIDI message".

That's about all I can think to say. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Can you write out your translator? Use the Code tag at the top of the forum and just provide the information you put in like follows:
So I can figure out what you're putting in.

This is what I have entered.
I have, apparently, successfully connected the MIDI signal from Geco (which uses a virtual MIDI cable, I'm using LoopBe) to Bome. The routing setup I have configured is from LoopBe to my Roland Quad Capture, an external USB MIDI/audio input/output processor. It is the only soundcard I have active on my PC. I am testing MIDI responses with NI's Massive.

The "incoming message" was MIDI-captured from activity sent by the Geco app. The "outgoing message" was something I copy/pasted from a webpage on hex-encoded MIDI note signals (I am struggling with finding useful info about this aspect of the message process).

I also tried to experiment and "capture midi" from another source, a Korg padKontrol, but while the padKontrol was triggering an audio MIDI response from my soft synth, Bome showed no activity in the window.

So, like I said in my earleir post, when I trigger Geco, I can see "MIDI in/router out" activity in the BOME window, but Massive doesn't make any sound from that activity. As I also said, I am unsure what, if any, information I am sending to Massive, and if it would even be useful data if it was in fact arriving.

Thanks again for your help. I really want to make this work.

What routing are you using to get your signal from MT to Massive? What are your default ports?

Well, I *did* have Bome routing the Geco's LoopBe virtual MIDI cable, to my Roland Quad Capture.

But, I just experimented and switched Geco to output on the Bome MDI out, and then switched Bome's default router to Bome -> Quad Capture, and wala! That did it. I can officially trigger a MIDI note with Geco! So thanks for prodding me in the right direction.

Now, I need to make some order out of this chaos! So - can you point me in the direction of the tools I'll need to manually set up specific MIDI notes as outputs (until I figure out how to get capture MIDI to see the rest of my controllers).

Also, the note I have set to "outgoing" just keeps triggering forever, so I need to learn how to stop a note. I guess that's something in the rules?

And finally - does this mean that Bome will have to be my virtual MIDI cable out for the Geco all the time? In other words, even when I want to do things with Geco that it does by default, i.e., send MIDI CC's, I will have to configure a Bome preset even for those? It looks like I'm going to have to be very committed to mastering Bome, eh?
