obs-midi-mg 3.0.3

[Dick Dawson]

Can anyone point me in the right direction here. I am trying to set up an Akai MidiMix on Mac OS, newest version. I have, quite easily setup the volume sliders on the sources I want to control and again mute was simple as well but for the life of me I can't work out how to control the highs, mids and lows of the 3 band eq plugin using the dials or pots on the controller. enable and disable is no problem. Is it the plugin itself that can't do that or am I a moron who can't sort it out?

Great plugin. Thanks so much for this as it really helps. Having the volume faders on the Akai Midimix is a game changer. No more going into OBS filters and adding gain to someone with quiet audio in a conversation from say teams or zoom. With the MidiMix I can slide up to a +27 DB right in the OBS mixer using the MidiMix! WOW it is amazing. I put a -3 limiter filter on everyone and just slam them up into it. Better than a compressor as it doesn't amplify the background noise some people have.

Hi, I have a problem. I have binding collections that I only use with the midi device "icon istage v2.01" but when I close and reopen obs studio my binding collections have another device assigned "nanoKONTROL2.1 SLIDER/KNOB"

This "nanoKONTROL2.1 SLIDER/KNOB" yes or yes I must have it connected to the PC, but I am not interested in using it with "obs-midi-mg"

I just want to use "icon istage v2.01" with "obs-midi-mg"

So, I have to enter each binding to set the correct device. I have more than 100 bindings. Every time I open obs studio I have to change it manually, it's very annoying.

Would there be any possibility of being able to eliminate from "obs-midi-mg" the midi devices that I do not want to use with the plugin? or is there a way to default the midi "icon istage v2.01" . Or put the midi that I want as the first option... because as another midi device appears first, the device changes in all the binding collections.

Please I need your help @nhielost I'm going crazy to solve it

thank you

 

[Bairespm]

@nhielost Is there any possibility to choose in this instance for the entire collection to use the selected midi device instead of choosing one by one in each binding

How to automatically change the LED between preview and program on me when I use the transition keys? I don't see a function or something that allows me to do it. I am using my VMIX Mini Switcher controller

Amazing update! So much more convenient and intuitive.

I'm still have issues targeting which setting in the custom filter settings I want to map. It could be user error, but nothing is popping up prompting me to select a setting. I am on Macos and Obs Midi 3.0 Beta 2.

Following up, I haven't found a fix to this. I love this plugin and want to keep using it and really want to find a solution! None of the varibles or options of filter settings are showing up when assigning an action.

Hi, I can't get the OBS slider up and down in OBS. I have the nanocontrol studio. He does react to it, but he just jumps down. but no ongoing regulation. Buttons are working. I have OBS plugin version 3.0.3 LG

I need to know if it is unable to capture application audio sources and see them in the pulldown menu of audio sources

I have just added the Atium Vertical plugin for OBS so I can stream horizontally and vertically at the same time. Currently I have my horizontal scenes MIDI mapped to an Akai MPK Mini keyboard using OBS MIDI-MG. Everything works flawlessly.

I want to mirror exactly my horizontal scenes and transitions in my vertical stream. Linking the horizontal and vertical scenes in OBS allows me to switch scenes using my current MIDI bindings (set up for horizontal scenes). The only thing I can't figure out is how to do the same for my transitions (Fade, move, etc). Right now, the horizontal and vertical transitions are separate and I am unsure of how to link them together. End result: I should be able to control both orientations simultaneously.

Please advise. Thanks.

Feature request:
I hope to map the midi data to a group source element display switch, which can realize the mapping of a specific value to a fixed beginning + index to locate the target element and then display it. In the current 3.0.3 version, the source display and hiding can only be targeted at 1 source object. If you want to implement the switch of a group of sources, you have to create this function repeatedly.

Hey there, thanks for this amazing plugin, it helps a lot. This enables me to use my Launchpad Mini to control OBS.

But a problem I keep running into is, sometimes the plugin will 'forget' my MIDI device and act like it's an entirely new device. Whenever this happens, I have to manually edit every binding to point to the "new" MIDI device. For example, I had all my bindings set to device "6- Launchpad Mini" but now it's displaying as "3- Launchpad Mini" and I had to change them all manually. Bit of a pain in the ass when it keeps happening. Can anyone suggest how I might be able to keep this from happening, or is this an issue with the plugin?

Yes I had such issue too. And some others. I document hoping it will help improving:
Issue 1: The device is seen as a new device. My explanation is: I changed the USB where the midi device was first plugged in. Actually it is loupedeck Live plugged into the LENOVO laptop with OBS (preparing a broadcast.) I did quit OBS/turned off the computer (probably hibernate), then plugged diffently: to a DELL screen featuring an usb hub and turned on again. The loupedeck appeared in the MIDI Devices list with different name (such as "Loupedeck Live - 2" or -3). I suppose this is due to the USB architecture/path
Issue 2: sometimes the MIDI device does not operates. It is seen "Disconnected" and I can reconnect in frame "Midi Devices" (look at Input Status / Output Status. if disconnected: click to reactivate (otherwise this is another issue).
issue 3: Sometimes the "action" has changed. This can be checked by selecting the binding in "Binding Collection", then select one binding in first column then look at the red frame:Category/Action/etc). May be this is due to some re-arrangement in the Scene or Sources...?
I dont blame the author since this plugin is great improvement over previous attempts (thanks !). I just wish some fix will come... (thanks again!)

I recently installed obs-midi-mg (v3.0.3), which seems to be extremely nice... however, so far I failed to have it receive the MIDI message sent by my controller. I did connect my device and the MIDI capabilities seems to be fine (I'm not sure what that should mean though). I read the whole HELP page (which is very impressive as well btw) I'm positive that the device does send messages. I run OBS-studio 30.0.2.1 on ubuntu 24.10.

I might be missing something completely obvious... so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Update from my previous post: with version v2.3.0, the MIDI messages are received properly on my machine.

From what I see, I would ask:
1/ did you press some key on your midi device, while being in the configuration displayed in your above picture. "Listening ...Continuously" is activated so pressing a button on your "Launch control XL" should change some values, specially "Note #". Does this work ?
2/ Indeed you need to define an action in the red frame next the green one on the picture.

Did you solve the issue ? For example did you try different usb entry in you PC ? I planned to try this myself but i am a quite lazy...

Thank you for the answer. I did press some keys as it was listening. Finally I went back to version 3.0.3 and hack this a bit by transferring the MIDI messages on 'Midi Through Port-0' this now works like a charm. However I notice a bug, which causes OBS to crash immediatly. It seems to happens when reusing (ie copying) a given media (in my instance a video). Every thing is fine until you choose in the red area "Category> Video Sources". Then OBS crashes. I launche OBS from a terminal to get log and here it what it gives:
> obs: symbol lookup error: /usr//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/obs-plugins/obs-midi-mg.so: undefined symbol: obs_sceneitem_get_info2

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I've tried to install this plugin both with the installer - obs-midi-mg-3.0.3-windows-x64-Installer.exe and manually from zip file obs-midi-mg-3.0.3-windows-x64, but the plugin isn't loading. It doesn't appear under Tools, and in the log file that it says, "Module '../../obs-plugins/64bit/obs-midi-mg.dll' not loaded".

New install OBS Studio 30.0.2
Windows 10 x64

I have restarted OBS and my computer multiple times, but still isn't loading. I'm new to OBS and this is the first plugin I've tried to add. Have I overlooked something?

 

[Zachb36]

I am trying to receive MIDI inputs from another program that sends them on the same PC, but I'm only seeing "restricted device" under "MIDI Devices".

Is there a way to do this?
