USB keys

[aaronSramos]

Hello everyone.

Is possible to map in MPP some kind of Macro USB keyboard like this: https://a.aliexpress.com/_Exdfexx

Anybody have tried? Sometimes I only need a Play and Fade All options.

Thanks 😉

I haven't used one of those, but if it's just emulating a keyboard it should be fine.

Ok 

Just looking a way to launch audios + lighting in a simple way and trigger

David I assume if I use MIDI trigger or this USB Macro Key (for example) MPP doesn't need to be "in focus". Right?

Keyboard shortcuts will always require MultiPlay to have focus for them to work.

Control via MIDI and OSC do not require MultiPlay to have focus.

If you're using the Elgato Stream Deck (on Mini) I would set it up to send OSC.

Cool! Thanks David 🤘🙃🤘

I have a two button keyboard (GO, STOP) emulator built around a arduino Leonardo.

This is what I need! Can you share images of you 2 button?

I cant see this small form factor Arduino Leonardo on Amazon at the moment, but ebay have:

USB ATMEGA32U4 Mini Development Board For Arduino Leonardo

Thanks Tonytech!

I've zero idea of this, but I'll check it out

I have just bought one from your link and it works great with Mutliplay.
you will need to program the marco keyboard first before you can map it to multiplay.
