video upload by sonicstate

"The BomeBox is the solution for connecting and mapping devices via MIDI, Ethernet, WiFi, and USB (without the need of a computer) and Florian from BomeBox showed us their latest expansion to the Bome Network software. The software can now run on iOS, including iPads and iPhones, and Linux, including Raspberry Pi. The BomeBox has built-in Wi-Fi, and with this expansion, users can quickly connect to the software via the Bome Network app.

Once connected, users can add MIDI devices to the mix, such as a keyboard, once the devices are paired, the setup is then fixed and stored, so every time users power up their devices, they will automatically connect with one another, making it a great solution for both studio and stage use.

BomeBox Price: 249 USD 225 Euros

NAMM 2020 MIDI 2.0 Is Almost Here....

Published on Jan 18, 2020 sonicstate

"Tomorrow is big day in the life of the MIDI 2.0 specification - the MMA (Midi Manufacturers Association) vote on the final specification which once passed will mean it can be published and begin to be adopted by manufacturers.

This is going to be a big shift in the way many many aspects of our music gear operates. We spoke to Florian from Bomes MIDI Translator and the Bome box about this.

Interesting chat."

Introducing the BomeBox - Versatile Hub for MIDI, Ethernet, Wifi and USB

"Bome Software announces the BomeBox, a versatile hub for connecting and mapping devices via MIDI, Ethernet, WiFi, and USB. Designed for stage and studio use, the box has all the power of the Bome MIDI Translator Pro software in a compact and solid case. “Many artists using MIDI controllers will finally be able to perform on stage without a computer,” says Florian Bomers, CEO of Bome Software. In particular, if different protocols and technologies need to interact, or many MIDI devices need to be connected, the BomeBox is the solution, for a fraction of the cost and size of a computer.

The BomeBox is configured via its user friendly web interface from a computer or smartphone. After loading a MIDI Translator project file into the box, it is self-contained and worry free: just plug it in and it will run the translations immediately. It delivers reliable performance and low latency while using extremely little power: a standard cell phone charger is sufficient, and it can run for days on a USB power bank. Optionally, users can choose Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing cabling and adding the option to supply both power and connectivity to cascaded BomeBoxes via the second Ethernet port.

The BomeBox is “MMA HD ready,” so once the upcoming high definition standard of the MIDI Manufacturers Association is published, a firmware update will allow you to use it for transparent translations to and from the new HD protocol.

See the BomeBox in action at the NAMM Show 2015, booth #1086 (hall E). General availability is planned for spring 2015."
