obs-midi 0.9.3-Alpha-3x

[Kumi_de]

Hi.
I am using a Korg Nanokontrol2.
The usage of the transport "rec" and "stop" controls works flawless.
When i start recording the led on the button turns on and stays on when i press the stop button. How can i make the "rec" led only turned on during recording and turning off when i press the stop button?
Thanx in advance,
Kumi

I tried compiling the source and there are several problems. First, the compile on Windows 10 64bit, using Visual Studio 16 2019 Community Version, it creates the plugin with the name obs-studio.dll. In OBS, I can open the OBS MIDI Settings and select a device in the list, but when I check "Enable" OBS crashes.

Here's the pertinent part of the crash report:

hi there, love that I can use MIDI gear to control OBS with this, can I ask though, since the plugin occasionally dumps the mappings which need to be rebuilt from scratch, where are the mappings actually saved, so we might find a way to frig the system and just copy that data back in when it disappears?
Thanks

 

[khaver]

You'll find it in the plugin_config folder.

 

[torpex2002]

You'll find it in the plugin_config folder.

Nice one, cheers, I'll keep a copy of the working JSON elsewhere for when needed, I see it already makes a local backup but can't hurt to have another.

Hello
I just tried the OBS Midi plugin on macOS Monterey, everything works fine, I can control OBS through an AKAI MPK mini.
I would like to be able to control OBS from an Ableton Live CLIP. How can I do this ?
I tried creating a dummy clip sending a CC to the AKAI mini in the hope it would reach the OBS, but it does not work...
Any ideas ?

Thanks

 

[pietropavan77]

Hello,

Is it possible to control OBS with dummy clips from a DAW ? I manage to use a MIDI controller to control OBS with this plugin, but I wanted to be able to do it from a dummy clip inside Ableton.
I try to map Ableton clip to output on the AKAI MPC mini, but it only works if I use the controller, and it will not work from a dummy clip.
Not to familiar with GitHub, and was wondering if this could be asked to the developers of the plugin...

 

[EB123]

ive contolled OBS from Reaper previously which should be fundamentally the same as Ableton.. i think i just did a midi cable loop on my audio interface and seemed to work ok.. a midi loop back driver would probably work also..

 

[Flex!]

I just discovered this plugin today and testing it out. It's so close to working how I need it to for my setup! Unfortunately certain actions aren't working how I would hoped for, more specifically volume control, mute toggle, play/pause media, start and stop record.

I have tried to setup the action for Set Volume on the audio source as close as possible like what is shown in the videos (the matrix looks a little different on my end, picture included) and the closest thing I could get it to do is either an on or off for the volume control on either a fader or knob as someone else described. Using the Listen Many would automatically select Pitch Bend in which the Value would show the proper Value 0<->127, but nothing would happen on the fader after the fact. If using a knob, the Message Type would automatically change to Control Change and I would only get an on off action after the fact.

For the mute toggle action, it does the action (mute) when I press the button that I assigned it to, but as soon as I let go/depress the button it toggles the mute button off instead of staying on until I press the button again. Also, none of the LED's are activating like shown in the videos.

Play/pause Media is similar to Toggle mute in which it will pause the media when I press the button I assigned it to, and then play as soon as I depress the button. If that is what these actions where intended to do then they are working correctly, but I would just prefer that they run as described for the toggle mute. Other actions could probably be combined like Start record, stop record, etc.

The other actions in my settings work great. Do Transition works perfectly on the buttons I assigned them to for all of my scenes. Stop media does exactly what it supposed to though I wouldn't have a need for this action if the play/pause worked how I described for the Toggle mute. Same for the Start and Stop Record actions.

Anyway, thank you for all the hard work you put into this plugin it's really helping our workflow! I'm looking forward to see how this progresses.

OS: Kubuntu 20.04
OBS: OBS-Studio 27.1.3
Controller: Tascam US-2400

Side note: The Tascam US-2400 has built-in presets for things like Mackie Protocol, Pro Tools, Nuendo, and other DAWS which might play a role in how it will react to your plugin. I currently have it set to Mackie Protocol.

I use this fairly routinely but not to the extent in which I would like to..
Unfortunately nearly every time I load OBS I have to reset my macros for my midi devices since it doesnt save them properly...

It would be great to see this fixed as well as adding in the ability to move/zoom/rotate sources via sliders and knobs

 

[lcalder]

I use this everyday and some of the settings (Rotate) don't save. So I have to reinput every time.
I've been watching and hoping for an update but haven't seen activity from the developers for over a year I think.
Maybe if someone has some experience with these kind of plugins they might consider taking it over. I would be willing to pay for a few bugs to be fixed.
This project seems to be 95% there...

 

[4reil]

Aha! I think I fixed it, I think it was an issue with my launchkey, it was a specific hidden option to disable the driver mode, so it hides the storage on windows. Seems stupid now, but it was really simple, if you are wondering its a Launchkey Mini MK3, the solution was to hold shift, and plug it in, and tap the yellow button so it turns to a dim yellow. Hope this helps, not a problem with the addon, it had me really confused.

Bro, you are the best. i was about to go on for a year with the same launchkey but you saved me. Thank you sm

 

[Dittsche]

Thanks for the plugin. I would love to use it, but my mapping is „always“ resetting. On Windows 10 an macOS Monterey.

So my question is where are the settings for the mapping saved on WIN and MAC, maybe I could save them for the next time.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I've posted about this earlier in the thread, but having used this plugin recently for a live theatre show, if by resetting you mean it's deleting your saved mappings, it's almost certainly due to a project with too long a name, or sources names that are too long, or have non-standard characters. This can even be if you open up an old project and then go back to the one you're using your midi bindings for.

I had made sure the scene collections I was using for the show all used short simple names for the collection, scene and source names, and eliminated any issues with the bindings going missing. However when I then opened up a different scene collection for a different show, when I returned to the other one the bindings had again been deleted.

TLDR: make sure all your scene collection names, scenes and source names are short with no special characters, even if you're not using them with obs-midi

 

[rorygallagher2010]

Hey,
Love the plugin and have been using it to control OBS using a Midifighter controller on my arm macs.

This doesn't appear to be compatible with the upcoming Arm version of OBS now (v28).
Any plans to update this one? Would love to have it so I can update!

 

[thecanniboss]

Feeling like I must be missing something here, as I've gone thru the forums, used the installer, but I cannot find the OBS Midi plugin anywhere within OBS. Was hoping to use my Launchpad with this plugin, but seem to be stuck... I have a feeling I must be doing something wrong, and don't know what i'm really looking at when it comes to the ins and outs of my computer files, but would appreciate any help one could lend. Thanks!

it should be under the tools menu.. also check youtube i think there are some setup tutorials..

 

[nhielost]

I love this plugin. It serves my needs well, and works great. Unfortunately, I have also experienced similar problems to those listed in this discussion, but this is not as devastating for me as I only use two mappings.

I noticed that OBS Studio v28 will kill this plugin since it is not Qt 6 compatible. This plugin also seems to have lost its maintenance, as it has not been seriously updated since 2021 (as of this post).

So three months ago, after the announcement of the Qt 6 upgrade, I decided to begin making a new v28 compatible plugin that behaves the same way that this plugin does. The UI is a little different, but in my opinion looks a lot cleaner. This new plugin is not completely finished, but development is coming along well.

If desired, this new plugin can be found here. If you do try the new plugin out, feel free to share any issues or feedback that you may have. I hope the new plugin lives up to this one!

 

[EB123]

ahhh awesome... i was starting to wonder if the old plugin was abandoned so its great to see development on a new version.. hopefully this one can evolve and get better, the last one had some bugs.. i will test it out and report any findings.. thanks..

 

[Tormy]

Any update for v28? I see the last update is last year ...
