I've programmed one of the push able encoders to send an arbitrary Midi number to Bome. The program then converts that to the appropriate patch changes for the keyboards. It sends them when know push that encoder. That way I can also queue the next song for rapid switching.
While I shunned the concept of integrating a computer in my setup for fear of it failing out Bome has in my experience been very reliable. The only time the setup has failed at am unfortunate time was when the computer-less Midi backup line I had bugged and made everything not work (old Midi box broke). I haven't had it functional nor needed ever since.
It also widely expanded the stuff I could do with Midgoi. The flexibility is pretty amazing.
This is al new to me (Bome Midi translator).
I will look it up for sure!
