MIDI to ASCII

[spaceman]

Does anyone know if there's a software out there that would run in the background translating MIDI to ASCII like C3=A or B2=Shift+Alt+Z....?

yeah, and even pd too for free.
but what all the guys 4get to mentin:
u still have to write the patch for it.

did u read huo's pd crash course yet?
maybe there's something usefull for u init?

i really appreciate the idea. nice one.

not 100% but you could possibly write a script in midi OX to do it??

Also Bome is designed to do exactly this :)

Shift+Alt+Z isn't ascii but a keycode combination, are you perhaps looking for some way to MIDI control an app that can normally only be controlled by a computer keyboard?
this should do it on the PC http://www.prettybigmusic.com/software/MID2Keys.htm

Try Bome's Midi Translator:

It should do exactly what you want.
Have fun.

erm... MIDI to keystrokes and MIDI to ASCII aren't exactly the same.

But we do this through the map_midi command. Basically this maps a midi keyboard to the keyboard at the points you specify. Ideally you start this at 255 (the endf of Ascii) and start changing around buttons to match your MIDI keyboard.

No but you can use a combination of keystrokes to make an ascii code yeah??? I mean thats how you access them normally right?
