Rodecaster

The Rodecaster Duo has 6 or more midi pads. It connects to the iPad via usb-c or Bluetooth. I want to know on the iPad can they be configured to the 1,2,3 or 4 keys. In my streaming software those keys change camera scenes. I can connect a Bluetooth keyboard but it’s only to use those 4 keys.
Software is Switcher Studio and it only works on iOS devices.
If not, can I ask for a feature update please?

Hi and welcome to the Bome community!

If I understand, you want to use the MIDI pads on your Rodecaster DUO to switch scenes on Switcher Studio on you iPad instead of hooking up a bluetooth keyboard for this purpose.

I’m afraid we do not have any software for the iPad that converts incoming MIDI from your Roadcaster to keystrokes.

I can put that feature request in for you, however there are no promises if an when they would be added. I assume you’ve checked the Apple Store for software to convert MIDI to keystrokes on the iPad. The only software Bome has for iOS devices is BomeNetwork which is MIDI only.

Hi, thank you for the feature suggestion.

Unfortunately, what you ask is not possible on iOS: it does not allow applications to inject or emulate keystrokes in another app.

The only way I see for this to work is if Switcher Studio implements MIDI control so that it can receive the Rodecaster’s MIDI messages directly.

Thank you Steve, I appreciate the honest reply. MidiKey2Key is an option for MacBook, however Switcher only works on the iPad. Look forward to the update if it happens
