Hey!!!!! I got it to work! Korg has control software to adjust the functionality of the buttons...which the included manual doesn't say ANYTHING about....Super frustrating. In the control software, all I had to do was set the mute buttons to be toggle, rather than momentary, and BOOM! It worked!

For anyone else out there using a Korg nanoKontrol2, download the Korg Kontrol Editor.

NOW, for some feedback on the software...I seem to have it working for myself now, but it doesn't seem the most stable. Other than that, what I'd REALLY like to see is more control over OBS. I'd like to be able to control audio or visual filters with physical knobs. I'm sure grateful that you made a resource that allows me to control my audio with physical controls! But I'd love to see this Plug-in turn into a killer app.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I am currently busy with the rewrite, but if you want to post any feature requests on the Github issues page that would be appreciated. and if you want to write up a page on how to change the firmware in the korg devices I will be sure to add that to the documentation once I have the new documentation up. I am currently considering a button type selection to be able to choose if the buttons are read as momentary or toggle. but haven't figured out the exacts yet.

I am looking to control an audio mixer via MIDI from OBS. Is this possible with your plug-in or does it just allow external devices to control OBS via MIDI?

Greetings from Barcelona!

Thanks for all your work on this plugin - been searching impatiently for a means to control OBS and for now I have success.
I'm using TouchOSC to create custom Midi Interfaces on my iPad Mini, primarily for Resolume Arena 6, but having a tactile interface for Scene Switching (and Audio Mixing) is always better than a mouse :)
- Switching between 15 different Scenes
- Mixing 4x Audio Ins/Outs
- Trigger Streaming START / STOP
- Trigger Recording START / STOP

I've had a few problems with OBS losing it's midi config, but as per [xrr] post:
" To solve this you (and backup your midi settings too) can go and tweak the JSON:
here : ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/basic/profiles/[YOURPROFILENAME]/basic.ini " this seems to work.

Running OBS Studio 26.0.2 on a Mac mini (Late 2012) with Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6

Mostly for streaming Live visuals to my Twitch account (www.twitch.tv/visincBCN) and for recording Resolume Arena 6 output from a seperate MacBookPro via NDI over Thunderbolt 10Gbps network.
Would be great in the future to have more parameters to control OBS with (Studio Mode selector, Transition button) but graateful for all your work!

If anyone wants a copy of my TouchOSC file for a similar Interface - feel free to get in contact :)

Hello.
This seems like a perfect solution for me. Though the plugin is not able to detect my controller. Am i doing something wrong? Can someone help me? Im on the latest Ubuntu, the latest OBS and the latest version of the plugin. The controller is an Akai APCmini. Theres just the "no devices found" notice.
I've been using the akai with Ardour for some time and never encountered any problems. Not trying to use it simultaneously with Ardour and OBS of course.

I have been playing around with this plugin and it looks like it will do what I want, but unfortunately, I am trying to control an XAir XR18 via USB (input into XAir) and the USB driver from Behringer does not allow that - only a receive via the USB. I may try to use a USB-MIDI cable to see if I have any success...

I have to demonstrate this to my co-workers as soon as it's released again. The Mac version didn't work. Any idea how far away from a working version we are? Will I be able to provision the same MIDI controller for two applications at the same time? I'm hoping to use an Akai APC40MKII to trigger Resolume scenes and OBS scenes in the same performance. Should work, right? Hot keys won't work since they only apply to the application that is on the top layer at any given time. THANKS! I appreciate the work you're putting into this.

To all of those people wondering about updates, I Currently am the only person working on the project and am very busy with other things in life at the moment, I would love for a couple of people to help with the coding because as much as I want to, I am just unable to at the moment.

I guess I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm running OBS 26.0.2 and the plug-in crashes every time I try to set it up. Also, when I try to use it, the response has a really high delay. Hope you can fix it. Thanks!

We appreciate the efforts! Wish I could help with the coding. Outside my skillset. I need this feature so bad I would definitely donate some time if I could assist. What specific skill level is required? I know a couple guys who might be willing to help, but I don't even know what to tell them about the job. How do I vet them to see if they could help you? THANKS!

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug:

-In the MIDI configuration window, the values displayed in the 'Action Type' column will take on the values displayed in the 'Action' column after closing and reopening the configuration window. However, the values shown in the far right section are correct.

-From time-to-time, I loose the configuration entirely. It will come up empty. Fortunately, I've learned to create a backup of the basic.ini file before making any changes to the MIDI configuration. I haven't been able to pinpoint when this happens although I suspect it might happen whenever OBS-Studio crashes for other reasons.

-I don't understand the functionality of the "Add One", "Add Multiple" etc buttons. They don't seem to do anything. I'm assuming they are supposed to provide a way to manually add entries into the configuration. Currently, the only way I can add entries is to issue MIDI commands from the program that will be sending them (which creates a new entry) and manually 'tweak' the entries in the configuration window.

Attached a screenshot of the first item I described.

Thanks...Ed

I've seen there is some workaround, but you think you could just release a fix for the current version on mac? Thanks.

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.

How are you getting this timed list of actions. I am having the same problem you are so maybe multiple sources of info would help to figure this problem out. It seems the process should be extremely self-explanatory but, alas, it is not!

One more peculiarity I ran into...
I have an OBS broadcast where I have approx 45 'scenes' (the image I provided above in my previous post) and I issue MIDI commands from another program in the same sequence to change scenes.
However, after I've gone down list (approximately 34 entries or so), OBS-Midi no longer seems to be recognizing the MIDI commands I'm issuing from the other program. I know the other program is sending the MIDI commands properly as I can seem them via MIDI-OX. I can also manually select those scenes in OBS.
Do you have any clue what might be happening?

Thanks....Ed

Under the "HELP" dropdown, you will find an entry for OBS's log files.

This just worked for me since Muting was set to momentary instead of toggle. Thank you so much.
