OBS-MIDI

Use MIDI devices to trigger events in OBS and visa versa.

OBS MIDI came about because two guys complained about the same thing, within the same hour, and decided to try to take on the task

Those two guys are

• Alzy and
• Chris

Status --

A not fully accurate download count (based off the last few releases I have kept) Currently runs on Windows and Linux, and MAC

Installing

1. Grab the installer from the OBS-Midi Releases Page

2. Download and run the installer for your OS

3. Launch OBS

   • The Configuration is under Tools-> OBS Midi Settings

   • Select your controller, hit configure, Toggle a button and fader, remap it to an action and hit save!

Installing Extra Steps - MAC

• If you are unable to see obs-midi in the tools you will need to install jack
• https://jackaudio.org/downloads/

Installing Extra Steps - Ubuntu SNAP

• If you install OBS Studio via snap you will need to run the following command to give permissions for OBS to access the raw MIDI devices through ALSA

sudo snap connect obs-studio:alsa

Special thanks to the following projects

• RTMidi17 An amazing modernized RTMIDI library
• OBSWebsocket from which much code was borrowed for interfacing with OBS
• Midi2OBS Where I got my start playing with this
• Deleaker Without which, finding memory leaks would have been near impossible.
