My Top 10 Records of 2018 December 27, 2018.No Elgato Stream Deck, no problem! I reprogrammed my Akai LPD8 to work as an OBS scene switcher.I spent the last two weeks researching and making endless cassette loop tapes and this is what I learned.Add a pitch mod and line-in to a brand new, inexpensive tape player November 1, 2021.Also, if you’re using software like Ableton to perform or mix a performance, be sure that you’re limiting your midi input so that your newly mapped OBS scene switcher is not also triggering drums.īut there you have it folks, that’s how you “hack” a midi controller to become a Scene Switcher in OBS. One thing I’ve noticed, is that each time your turn on your AKAI LPD8, you should actively select the Program you’re trying to use, otherwise you might think it’s not working. So, now you should be able to move between 8 scenes or sources within OBS. Here’s a couple of tips once you’re up and running: I’ll use painters tape on my controller to make scene notes before a broadcast Try to arrange your Akai LPD8 pads in a way that makes sense.Locate your scenes and assign your keystrokes to those scenes or sources you wish to toggle between.In OBS, open preferences and look for the Hotkeys section.Open up your OBS software and head to your preferences and look for the hotkey section. Now, let’s map those keystrokes to scenes in OBS It’s worth noting, that this little app will have to be running, while you want the keystroke mapping to be active. next, add the desired keystroke, I prefer the “ctrl” mixed with numbers.With the Akai LPD8, you can set up to four channels, for each of the programs. add the channel of your program in the “chn” column – the channel should be the same for each Akai LPD8 program assignment. ![]() add the midi note number in the “num” column.use the to add a new keystroke map, one for each pad.select your src controller, in my case the LPD8. ![]() It seems pretty straight forward, right? Here’s the steps I took: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Let’s open up midStroke and check it out. I should have posted this last year, because it seems like there’s a ton of YouTube videos on this very subject. If you’re on a PC, this is where you might want to search out the Windows equivalent utility. There’s also midiPipe, and this YouTube video I got the idea from, but I couldn’t get it to work reliably, and required a lot of extra work that midiStroke seemed to handle out of the gate. I recall having to try a few of the available downloads to get one to work. Next, let’s assign those pads/midi notes to keystrokes
