I really think vMix needs a new and simpler way for switching inputs to multiple destinations. What I really find frustrating is the number of shortcuts required to switch inside multiviews and the lack of activators for example when an input is used for Ext2 or in a multiview (I did a feature request for this > ) Maybe the different midi port is enough for vMix to understand which one is used when several controllers send the exact same midi commands? If someone tried, please let me know. However Akai Mini does not allow to change the midi channel so I'm not sure one can get 2 of these to work at the same time. I'm considering to buy and use a second one to be able to extend my switching options for some projects. Yes as Stream said, the main interest with these Midi Controllers (apart from the economical reason compared to traditional switcher control panels) is their ability to be customized and used in many different ways. Nice to see and hear the face behind the prolific DWAM! Needless to say, most productions require significant preparation and planning to go off without a hitch, but what I really like about the MIDI option, is that you can still switch, even if you are occupied in another active window, unlike the Keyboard Shortcuts. Most of the other buttons are used either for specific tasks like External, Record and Stream toggles and for Clock Timer Start/Stops, and Set-Text commands or are open for easy customization of a particular need for that production. (akin to VidBlaster's customizable UI, which made it a difficult software to walk away from for some, including me, but I digress.)Īlthough I don't have the Akai APC Mini, I do have the 64+ buttons of my Novation Launchpad, which, like you, I use the bottom two rows for my Preview and Program busses which are mapped to my first 8 Inputs in vMix, all of which are MultiView Colour Inputs which I populate according to immediate requirements. I think the "customizability" of MIDI device use with vMix will indeed become one of it's most endearing features for users as it will give them ownership over the workflow they have created. Of course, everyone's requirement vary in many ways, but you certainly offer some logical and practical solutions for some "typical" scenarios. Very well thought out and efficient set-up Guillaume.
