01:46 How to use
If, like me, you're lazy, but too cheap to get an ‪@elgato‬ #streamdeck and you have a midi keyboard or a ‪@NovationTV‬ #launchpad fret not!
You can use Midi2Macro to turn it into a programmable Macro Controller like the Stream Deck 🙂
Midi2Macro detects your MIDI devices. It listens for MIDI notes and allows you to map them to macro actions on your computer.
I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know your thoughts, suggestions, ideas below!

    Hi and thanks for your great comment! At the moment it's simple MIDI notes (single buttons) mapped to macros, but I'll put it on my future ideas list. I'm not sure how I'd control volume or other app-native controls, but it's a cool idea :)

    @@SurfacedStudio Have a look into the windows volume mixer, that's what I'm talking about, there should be a way to tie knob functionality to them similar to what go xlr does. But that's just for volume, there has to be a way to do it system wide. Imagine people doing graphics or 3d design, the power this would give them to map a slider to a knob when applying color grading or fine tune parameters. I do both music and design, and being able to use the same tool for both would be game changer, considering I have the arturia MK2 with a tone of knobs :D
