obs-midi 0.9.3-Alpha-3x

[SkylerGreene]

Thank you so much for creating this!
This is SO much better than operating with hotkeys and a mouse!
I really appreciate all the time you've put into creating such a useful plugin.
It is working really well for me (I'm using an Akai APC40 MKII on a Windows 10 PC).

Are there plans to integrate transitions? It would make this plugin AWESOME for Studio Mode.
It would also be useful to have midi control over the "Quick Transition" fader.
Additionally, it would be great to be able to show/hide/toggle sources & filters as well as use a fader to adjust transition duration.

Thanks for all your work!

Yea, being able to map the transition fader realy be awesome! also an option export the map for different setups.

Does not always grab the midi, usually means you will have to restart OBS until it recognizes you play a specific note, breaks after working, resets your mappings if it fails. Lots of problems, but hopefully they will be worked out :/

Update, it was working fine last night, not working AT ALL when I relaunch, if it gets the input and I decide to delete a row, it stops working, such a fucking pain in the ass tbh. please fix it, this would be a life saver :/

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.

I am unable to populate the midi selection under the tools tab in OBS. I feel that I have followed the basic instructions of both (a) installing the windows .exe and (b) copying the .zip files into the plugins folder. I have tried restarting the computer. Is there some other programming build software that is required that I am missing?

 

[dprbass]

I'm using it with a Traktor X1 MK1 and a MAC and is not working fine... :(

HI cpyarger,

Found your thread regarding OBS-Midi. Just what I'm looking for. I went to github to download OBS-Midi but I'm thoroughly confused what to download. There are so many entries and files there and everything says "Currently WIP". Am I in the wrong place or doing something wrong?

Thanks...Ed

Hi Ed,
It depends on what operating system you are on, windows download the one ending in .exe mac, download the one ending in pkg, Linux download the one ending in .deb

I noticed some issues with the program unexpectedly crashing on mac, I am trying to figure out why (:

Thanks for replying however I didn't find the download .exe you're referring to (I'm on Windows) however, I did find some ZIP files. I downloaded 1.3 as I determined it was the most recent without being 1.4. I unzipped and copied the files into the OBS-Studio plugins directory. (see attached screenshot). I started OBS (v25) but do not see OBS-MIDI in Tools.

FYI- I am not a software developer......only an end-user.

The installer is directly above the .zip file you downloaded

 

[EdK]

Thank you. Successfully installed but when I start OBS, there is no Midi option under Tools.
I verified that OBS-Midi files are in the correct Plugins folder (64bit).
I attached screen shots and here is a portion of the OBS logfile.

[cpyarger]

I am not sure what is going on there, I will add it to the bug list and see what I can do to fix it (:

 

[EdK]

Thank you. I would appreciate your timely response.

I have downloaded 0.2.3 from github, and put the files in the recommended place - plugin wouldn't start, I read a previous post stating that a C++ redsitributable file was needed so I downloaded an 'all-in-on' C++ redistributable package that has all versions from 2005 onwards and now it loads fine! I know this is overkill but I wasn't saure which version of the redistributable I needed.

I am using a Zoom R24 and I want to be able to control volume levels of input channels using the faders 1-8.
I can map this really easily - in setup I just move the faders, the control shows up, change the 'action type' to 'fader' and the 'option' to the input level that I want to control.

This works - sort of! The problem is that the Zoom faders go from -inf dB to +12. However obs-midi only responds from 0 to +12, if the fader is set to 0, the input volume that I have assigned the fader to goes to zero. It doesn't make any difference if I have 'bidirectional' to true or false.

The Zoom R24 is supposed to use standard Mackie protocol so I am not sure quite what is going on.

Also there are buttons above each input fader on the zoom that would be nice to use as a 'toggle mute', however they only seem to work momentarily (i.e. muted only when the vutton is actually pressed) in both 'toggle mute' and 'set mute' settings.

Thanks for your help,
Jon

Hi Jon,

Mackie control/MCU is not standard midi. I haven't figured out how to implement MCU into the plugin yet. Only standard midi. You may get weird results trying to use Mackie mode. (: I would look and see if you can set your controller to standard midi mode for now

Thanks. With the Zoom R 24 you don't get a choice of modes.

I actually think the issue may be to do with how obs-midi handles pitch_bend commands. The faders on the Zoom R24 send pitch_bend commands. When setting up obs-midi it will detect when I am moving a fader in the lower range (i.e. when it is sending out between -8192 and 0) but once I have assigned that fader's pitch_bend command to control the volume of a certain input it only responds in the positive range of the fader.

What do you think? I started having a look at the source code to see if I could work out what was going on, but my c++ skills are really basic. Is there a part of code where obs-midi tries to work out if a pitch_bend controller sends out only positive numbers or if it goes negative as well?


Thanks,

Jon

Wow ~ this is really cool plugin.
I really wonder that

"It will support can Adjust data at other plugin interface in obs?"
example i wanna adjust Gain value to smooth in GAIN in OBS Built-in

Can i do this ?
or it have such like " leaning mode " something?

Hi cpyarger, can obs-midi connect to local MIDI software devices? For example, I am trying to connect it to VMPK but the obs-midi UI doesn't list it as an available device.
