Using Windows Media keys?

Is there any way to use the Mute and Play keys as incoming Keystrokes?

thanks,

yes. you can use those media keys as Incoming Trigger. In the Edit Translator window, use "Keystroke" as incoming type. in the keystroke field, type the media key. Most likely, a different key will appear: e.g. when I press the play/pause button, a G appears. But that doesn't matter: after pressing Apply, the Play/Pause button is mapped, and not the G button. We're working on fixing this to actually display Play/Pause.

I realise this is an old thread so I apologise if this information is available elsewhere.

In my experiments, it appears that some keys work just fine - e.g. the VK_VOLUME_MUTE button (0xAD) seems to work, although it displays 'D' in the box. However, other keys do not work, for example the Play/Pause and Stop buttons (VK_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE (0xB3) and VK_MEDIA_STOP (0xB2)). This situation is true for both inputs and outputs and appears to be the case in both Classic and Pro.

How can I make Bome recognise these keys as outputs? How could I modify the INI file so that these keys can be output?

if you don't mind I'll ask you to try this with the 1.8 beta version...

Hi Florian,

Thanks for replying. I'll gladly try the 1.8 beta if I can find it. I looked at http://www.bome.com/products/miditransl ... loads/beta but it said that there are no beta versions available.


Thanks,
Damian.

oh sorry, I should have said that it's on invitation only. I'll send it to you via email.

I'm having the same problems with the media keys as stated in this topic (media keys being recognised as letters).
Could you send me an invitation for the beta version?
