This is an AutoHotKey script that translates MIDI messages into keystrokes.
- AHK reads incoming MIDI messages and displays them in a small desktop window
- AHK sends out a keystroke, dependent on which MIDI message was received
- The currently open app receives these as if they were typed on the keyboard
This way any MIDI device with pushbuttons, knobs and sliders can be used as a hardware console to operate any Windows app.
Included are
- AHK script with shortcuts to operate the DaVinci Resolve video editor via the Behringer X Touch One.
- A Bome MIDI Translator configuration file in case you prefer to use the Bome app.
- AHK script to control Magix Video Pro X, added by Erich Grubmüller.
Keystrokes can be changed to your liking via the 'if' statements from line 40 onwards.

I like to mention I didn't program the MIDI tranlation part of the AutoHotKey script. I found it here. Author unknown. What I added are the X Touch One > DaVinci shortcuts.
Have fun.
