Midi Controller / Bome Midi Translator

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been asked on the site - I've taken a look but can't seem to find it.

I've got about 24 hands (12 left and 12 right) for a character that I'm making.

I'd love to be able to trigger these hands with a Midi device (currently I'm using a Launchpad by Novation for MIDI triggering within music programs).  If there is any advice or experience on how to do this, that would be great.  I read that Bome Midi Translator is a possibility, but don't know where to start with this information.

I'd love to know how people are expanding beyond using only the typepad - or if there is a way of extending beyond the letters of the type pad (perhaps using SHIFT or CAPLOCKS).

I understand that the new update will contain more midi configuration so this question may indeed be void within a few weeks.

Many thanks,

Rob
