2015-01-22 Bome reveils BomeBox

Munich, Germany, January 2014

Bome Software announces the BomeBox, a versatile hub for connecting and mapping devices via MIDI, Ethernet, WiFi, and USB. Designed for stage and studio use, the box has all the power of the Bome MIDI Translator Pro software in a compact and solid case. “Many artists using MIDI controllers will finally be able to perform on stage without a computer,” says Florian Bomers, CEO of Bome Software. In particular, if different protocols and technologies need to interact, or many MIDI devices need to be connected, the BomeBox is the solution, for a fraction of the cost and size of a computer.

The BomeBox is configured via its user friendly web interface from a computer or smartphone. After loading a MIDI Translator project file into the box, it is self-contained and worry free: just plug it in and it will run the translations immediately. It delivers reliable performance and low latency while using extremely little power: a standard cell phone charger is sufficient, and it can run for days on a USB power bank. Optionally, users can choose Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing cabling and adding the option to supply both power and connectivity to cascaded BomeBoxes via the second Ethernet port.

The BomeBox is “MMA HD ready,” so once the upcoming high definition standard of the MIDI Manufacturers Association is published, a firmware update will allow you to use it for transparent translations to and from the new HD protocol.

See the BomeBox in action at the NAMM Show 2015, booth #1086 (hall E). General availability is planned for fall 2015.
