Alright already. Itā€™s on the way. Weā€™ll also need the ā€œHow To Flash Your Midifighterā€ document to go with it and that needs testing on a bunch of platforms, some of which I donā€™t own. Anyone with Apple programming experience care to help out testing the ā€œrecipeā€ for completeness and correct ā€œMac-nessā€ in the terminology and paths used? Experienced Mac users only please, we need to make this easy and mistake-proof for Joe Average to follow so I need someone who knows the gotchas. If youā€™re interested, please PM me with an email address and weā€™ll go from there. Thanks! ---

Should be easy, really whatā€™s taking so long? Itā€™s simple, should only take you 10 minutesā€¦HAHAHA! šŸ™‚ I work in the creative service dept. at my company and you wouldnā€™t believe how many times I hear that ā€œitā€™s simpleā€ crap! ā€œOh this is simple. I just need you to find a picture of a man wearing an orange sweater and green sweatpants, walking a white chihuahua in Alaska, and the moon is out, with a lake in the background and 4 bald eagles flying over in the distance. Oh and we need that in 30 minutes kay?ā€ Anyway, whenever it comes out Iā€™ll be happy. Iā€™ve left holes in my setup specifically for it actually. ---

Top four buttons each select a ā€œbankā€ of 4x3 buttons, giving you access to 48 MIDI notes instead of 16. As you switch banks, the LEDs reflect the MIDI input state of that button number (i.e. it remembers the LED state of buttons that are not "onscreen"sat the time). And Iā€™m late with that update. Sorry. ---

> [@eisnein](#): > > anyone have any thoughts on how to do this using Bome Midi Translator, Control aid, Max4Live or any other midi app rather than firmware? šŸ˜• You can totally work this out in Bomes (Not that it shouldnā€™t be in the firmware too) - but if youā€™re feeling antsy, you can give Bomes a shot. Program 4 rules, one for each of the four ā€œbankā€ buttons. Each rule is an ā€œassignmentā€ using the same variable with a different value. For example, in the button 1 command, mf=1, in button 2, mf =2, etc. Then make translators for the rest of the buttons that send a different note when in each of the 4 variable states. Now you gotā€™s 4 banks! ---

I would totally go the Bomes route but Iā€™m EXTREMELY protective of my live set and no thirdy party Midi fiddling is allowed as a general rule in my world. Itā€™s amazing how crafty you can get with dummy clips, but Bomes does indeed fill in the gaps of what Live canā€™t doā€¦ i would hate to compromise my current rock-solid stability with 8.0.5 because iā€™m impatient. oh and about me being impatientā€¦ F O U R B A N K S M O D E !!! sooooonā€¦ pretty please? ---

Bomes is extremely stable. And by stable I mean I trust it not to fail about 20x more than any other audio software I use. ---
