Can I use a single midi controller to manage OBS and Reaper at the same time?

Hello! I was wondering where to post this question... if not here, apologies.

Situation:
- With an AKAI MPK mini and the Etuldan MIDIControl program I control OBS (scene change, recording toggle, etc.)
- With an Arturia BeatStep I control a series of Reaper functions (record, stop, undo, metronome toggle, etc.) Everything is configured on Channel 1 of Arturia. To do this I use the ReaLearn program.
- My OS: Windows 11

Objective:
- Instead of using two devices I want to use a single device, in this case the Arturia because it has many more pads.

I have tried to configure ReaLearn for Reaper on Channel 1 of Arturia and the MidiControl for OBS on Channel 2... but it only recognizes the program that I opened first.

Is there any way for the same device to control two different programs? I have searched the Arturia forums and found nothing.

Thanks in advance!
