Using a MIDI Controller with OBS Studio on macOS for Scene Switching & Volume Control | X-Touch Mini

If I'm using a midi device with a sequencer, could I set up the device to autotransition scenes using midi messages?

Welp..this is gonna need a whole lot more coverage in order to even get it working on mac. I don't even see 'obs midi tools' in the 29.1.x release. Tons of folks having the same issue as seen in the 'issues' page for the plug. Big meh on the dev side of things unfortunately. Had super potential, but if people are trying to use this and rely on it and there's no dev support for quicker releases, it's a bust.

ater install the plugin, there no obs midi in tools menu?

i've got error after installing obs midi, when i open obs, the plugin cannot be load, there is "error obs midi plugin, in tools menu there is no obs midi

We need to update the lesson. Because of updates in OBS it doesn't work anymore

This is awesome. just a shame is doesn't understand V.29 with is disappearing from the tools menu.. - Hopefully soon 🤞🏻

Do we have a macOS version for OBS 29? I rely reaaaalllly heavily on this plugin…and after I updated I had to immediately revert to OBS 27. This plugin should be native to IBS, it’s incredibly powerful!

Thanks for sharing

Could you use the fader as a t-bar between preview and program?

2023 update - Thanks for Tutorial but seems not to work anymore with the new OBS updates

Is this Also apply for M1 Mac?

why is the midi interface i have with the same software so completely different than what is here on this presentation. nowhere near as intuitive and certainly nothing at all with macros..also 0.9.3 3.66?

Plugin failed to load on windows OBS v28.0.3, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no luck.

it was working fine until i updated to the latest OBS. Now all my midi controls are gone along with the midi tool. So annoying. I can't get it to appear on OBS again.

hello, but is it possible to check both obs and the rest of the pc? example if I use the midimixer program, I can control app, volume and everything I want, but if I use it then the midi plugins on obs doesn't go and vice versa. so either I use the midimixer program or I use the plugins on obs, do you have solutions to make the keyboard go to both obs and external software?

Doesn't work with OBS 28.

Hi, can this type of midi controller control obs filters such as gain,noise gate & etc

Install the plugin in your OBS folder. Not in an separate folder like I did the first time xD Cheers all o7 Seems it doesn't detect any button presses from a midiplus smartpad dang it :/

If the midi board had button banks, so the board can use 1 button for multiple uses, will obs read the bank change??

Can I save settings? When I disconnect AKAI APC Mini or restart OBS all settings are cancelled... :(

tank youuuuu

Interesseting video. So I need an input for my XLR mic if I dont want an usb mic, then and abetter soundinterface for my 259 Ohm headphones cause pc onboard soundcard is not really good. I love such solution but as like Linux only for lovers and masochists 😂 dint get me wrong I like to see all the efforts not buying expensive solutions that can do this out of the box the

Do I need a special pre-config for the X-Touch Mini buttons? When I want to configure and add some buttons in OBS MIDI Settings it doesn't work. If I press a button, normally it should show the Channel and Note/ control of the button like in the video. But when I press a button, nothing happens. What can I do? A lot of my buttons are used for VoiceMeeter, is this a Problem that it is not possible to use the other buttons for OBS?

Thanks for the video. Im using my softube console 1 and it works great. you just need to shut down the softube software.. Also do you have any idea how to config it to say turn off a web cam in a source. I cant find out how to trigger hotkeys... Thanks again... This is so nice...

Super helpful, thank you!! Just hooked up my LaunchControlXL to OBS!

This might be the best video I've seen on this plugin. Thank you !

I have the same setup as you, the xtouch mini but I am running Windows 10. I looked at the other video you have mentioned and set everything up, however, both Protokol and OBS MIDI doesn't seem to be reading anything when i play the dials, fader or buttons. I tried a different application called MIDI OX and that is able to read the xtouch mini. Would you know what the fix may be?

can you do a transition using the fader so you can choose the speed yourself?

Thank you so much

Great video! I do not own a midi controller yet, but your videos really make me want to get one! With Makros working it would be very close to the stream decks by elgato, for a fraction of the price.

Learned the basics of OBS and streaming this weekend and this video helped me to map my AKAI LPD8 midi controller to OBS. Thanks for this video as it was really helpful and simple to do.

been wondering why OBS has no MIDI support since 2016. Voice meeter banana has had it forever.

great vide. I have been trying to assign multiple sounds tracks to the same volume slider but it wont let me. I get a message saying that its already in use. is there a way to assign multiple tracks to the one slider?

have you worked with 'macros' in this plugin? Trying to figure out how to get them to work

I've recently looked at both of them and it will certainly be interesting, where obs-midi is going. The current lack of the midi-feedback is a bit of a bummer.
