I used the old version with a launchpad mini it did the job.
I always wanted to have some feedback from the LEDs that are in the buttons.
Today i updated to the new version. and WOW the led turned on when the scene was active.

however. i wonder if it is possible to make all the inactive scenes for example Red so i know what buttons are the other scenes.
and make toggle actions for example orange/green.

anyway. i love this app.

Keep up the great work
 
hi @Etuldan, hi all,
thx, Etuldan for the nice proggy. its one of the reasons, i moved to win from osx. ;)
i have read some pages here, but not all of it. after using your software i need some input.
1. the icon (floppy) for saving, is it doing anything? i am clicking on it - no feedback - now i quit the app after some entries. this works...
2. the speaker-icon with x - what does it mean?
and the mainpoint:
3. i need to automate some parameters in filters eg. opacity in color key.
its not working.
i know the "...a log of missing filters min/max values (see in %AppData%\MIDIControl\FilterLog.log ), and you can add them by modifying filterminmax.csv according to the log".
plus i ve changed the min and max-parameters.
i did that with different entries and filters. nor of them is working with the faders.
the same faders on my apc mini is working fine with volumes.
buttons for scenes and even hotkeys for lower thirds are working fine too.
any ideas?
and sorry, if the answer is somewhere in this thread. ;)
 
ok. maybe hard to answer. let me try this way: i have 8 faders on my akai mini and want to change the opacity in a filter. how can i do it…?
 
update: now i can - no idea why its working now, maybe the update or reinstalling - control a filter eg. color key/opacity with a fader on my akai mini on ONE source.
if i use the same filter, even with a new name, on a new source, i can select the filter in midicontrol, but the parameter opacity is not available and in filterlogs it cries for the "color_key_filter_v2.,MinValue,MaxValue", but this line is already in the filterminmax.csv...
 
now i found a way its working - even with the same filter. maybe it helps
here it needs a special order:
1 - select the filter on a source
2 - move the parameter u want to midify
3 - go to midicontrol
4 - + / new entry
5 - name it
6 - move the midi-fader or knob u wanna use
7 - "adjust filter" on
8 - select the filter
9 - select the parameter
10 - ADD
dont forget to save.

As the OBS icon is in red, it means that there is a communication issue between OBS and MIDIControl.
Check in OBS, in menu Tools, "Websocket Server Settings" that it's enabled, and set the same ip/port (derfaut port is 4444 , so default IP will be 127.0.0.1:4444) and password in MIDIControl options.

Strange thing about the MIDI Device not displayed as green in the status bas, but 1rst step is the OBS configuration

@Etuldan, thanks for your reply.

I checked the web-sockets settings in question. They were as suggested. Other plugins require web sockets too. I uninstalled obs-midi to and re-installed MIDIControl and looperMIDI to run this test. Perhaps there is a conflict.
Additionally, when I tried to remove the MIDIControl 1.9.0.0, I got an alert from Norton. It says the uninstaller didn't have permission to remove its own start menu stuff. There may be a permissions thing that needs to be addressed in the uninstaller.

Lastly, when I went to install V1.9.1.0, created yesterday, both Chrome and Norton barked out an alert and would not let me download or install it. This is above and beyond the normal blue "Run Anyway" alert. Again, it's probably a permissions challenge for the installer. I did not attempt to override because I'm cautious. The previous version gave no such alerts. I'm reinstalling obs-midi for now. I'll absolutely try again when an the Norton-friendly version becomes available. I hope this helps.
 
Hello

I recently got a couple of midi devices and was using the other common midi plugin to control basic scene switching, but was advised to try this cause it allows much, much more control of OBS directly. But I cant get it to see OBS. I installed websocket. I deleted my previous DLL file for the other plugin prior to install. I tried my local IP, net IP, lan IP, etc. It recognized the midi input and output, but refuses to connect to OBS, multiple different types of passwords tried. And the twitch authentication also refuses to log in. Any fixes or known conflicts? It sees my midi connection fine, just not my OBS.
 
This program works beautifully but I recently updated StreamFX and it doesn't seem to adjust filters correctly anymore. Been trying different things in the csv file to no avail. Any help?

All source code is available on github, and you can recompile+generate setup from it.
There is absolutely no bad stuff on midicontrol. And nothing I can do if a random company decide to randomly flag another random software as malware.

Again thanks for your reply @Etuldan. I'll merely wait until Norton calms down. They tend to get cranky with new, relatively unknown software. There is absolutely no bad reflection on your code in my remarks. Some coders prefer getting feedback when Norton or other security services squawk so they can figure out exactly why Norton is squawking and adjust the code accordingly... for instance, so that permissions criteria don't set off security alarms during install or uninstall. If that's not your thing, I get it. I'm in no hurry, and I'm not well-versed enough in C# to compile someone else's stuff on my rig. Again, it's not a negative reflection on your code. Others are obviously having great success. I'm looking forward to being able to install a future version! I hope this helps. Be well!
 
Fixed my issue. No idea why it fixed it, but rolled back to an earlier version. Tried that, instantly recognized by OBS. Since you added more launchpad support I tried that version now too. No connection issue, newest version working great as well. Wonderful software, super versatile. Using it to control two separate midi surfaces now and its working great. Arduino based controller, and a Launchpad X.

If you take any suggestions for new features, since it has twitch integration I'd love to one day be able to redeem channel points commands in my own chat. I have a lot of points based commands controlled by a chat bot that would be great to access on the same control surface. They trigger web based things. I might be able to make a redeem based off of a This has been the one of the most important pieces to tie together all of my ideal -make shit work fast- setup. Thanks!
 
hi @Etuldan,
i have a akai apc 40 and a akai apc mini.
is it possible to dublicate ALL commands for a second controller?
where (filename) are the commands stored?
and - is there a way, to get the transitiontime on a knob?
thx for your answer.
 
Just ran into this bug the other day when using this tool. When I connect MIDIControl to OBS and leave it connected when I close it, I get this error every time. I also get the same thing when I switch to a different scene collection without disconnecting it first.

%APPDATA%\MIDIControl
options.json => general options.
keybinds.json => default profile keybinds
keybinds-xxx.json => xxx profile keybinds

Json files, so standard texteditor should be ok.
 
Is it posible to add TriggerHotkeyByKeySequence for action with some obs plugins, which have the same names in different copies of themselves?
I have two Replay Source plugin and when trigger TriggerHotkeyByName ReplaySource.Replay is interacting only for one of them(

This just saved me hours using copy/paste for a duplicated - then modified Scene Collection of over 25 scenes!

I can't find any info on how you ADD new Hotkeys. I have seen the info on Advanced Lower Thirds but would just love a clear understanding of how I add Hotkeys. I am aware of the OBS_KEY? symbols that OBS uses, I just don't know how they work for you and how to edit your keywords txt

I want to create Hotkeys for Downstream Keyer in OBS and have MIDIControl allow me to Play those Scenes.
