Bome MIDI Translator Pro brochure »

“At Abletonwe’ve found Bome MIDI Translator Pro to be super helpful for prototyping new hardware products. It was essential to our first ‘hacked’ prototypes of Push 1where we chopped up a few MIDI controllersand combined them with a movable set of buttons using Legos and a Livid Brain. More recentlywe have used MT Pro along with Adobe XDso we can trigger mockups with our actual hardware prototypes. MT Pro is extremely flexible for designing exactly what you want — for commercial or personal use — without needing to be a software developer.
Jesse TerryHead of Hardware at Ableton
