First of all, I will upload 2 files so you won't have to go trough all the trouble of setting everything up.
Here are the links to the files:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/4o60i ... oller.bmtp for Bome's midi translator classic
http://www.mediafire.com/download/b2y4h ... troller.ms for TransMIDIfier
Note that you will still have "set up" loopMIDI and The Lighting Controller!
The programs you will need to make it work are:
- loopMIDI
http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/wp-conten ... _13_24.zip
- TransMIDIfier
http://www.bewaryprods.com/software/pro ... _Setup.exe
- Bome's midi translator classic
https://www.bome.com/bome/downloads/Mid ... c1.6.1.exe
To begin, in loopMIDI you will have to create two virtual midi ports. You can use any name you like, but I preferred to use:light controller ,and APC MINI right since the goal is to make a light controller and I have my second APC MINI always on the right side.
After you have done this, you open up Bome's midi translator classic. Although both APC MINI's show up as APC MINI, Bome's midi translator classic is able to distinct them. You will have to find out for yourselves which one of them is the one you plugged in last. Note that this is crucial in order for it to work!
Once you have selected your input, select, in my case, APC MINI right.
When you have selected your in- and output, you will have to create a new preset. You do this by right-clicking in the column under Preset and then select "new"
Now right-click in the column under Name and select "add". Double click on the preset and select Capture MIDI, now press a button on the APC MINI. Click on the tab "Outgoing", click on none and select "MIDI message". Select Capture MIDI and press the same button again. Hit apply and then close.
repeat this step for all buttons and faders. Or use the file I provided for Bome's midi translator classic.
Once this is done you can now open up TransMIDIfier. Change the input port by clicking on the menu below Input1 and select APC MINI any. As you will notice, you will only receive midi from the APC MINI you plugged in first.
Now just select your output by clicking on the menu below Patch1 and select, in my case, light controller 1. By doing this your MIDI sent by your "first" APC MINI will be routed to light controller channel 1.
Once you have done this, click on the plus sign to the left of Inputs, click on the menu below Input 2 and select, in my case, APC MINI right 1.
Click on the menu below Patch1 and select Light controller 2.
If you would like I can explain to you in another post how to create Pages for your APC MINI's as seen in the screenshot, but with a bit of common sense you should be able to figure it out on your own with the help of the screenshot. You can also use the file I provider for TransMIDIfier which has 8 Pages per controller.
Now everything is set up it is time to open up The Lighting Controller, in my case SweetLight.
Go to: File, Preferences, and select, again in my case, light controller as MIDI in, and if you want, APC MINI as out. Note that you will only be able to send MIDI to the APC MINI you routed directly via TransMIDIfier, I am still looking for a way to split the MIDI out, but as soon as I know how to do this I will let you know.
restart the program, and that should be it.
I hope I have helped you and if there are any questions I will do my best to answer them!
