  • In this video, I show you how you can control your Rodecaster using the Elgato Streamdeck, with a simple free plugin.
    ** WINDOWS USERS CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO AFTER WATCHING *** 👉 • UPDATE: Rodecaster Pro...
    Windows Users should just select the "MIDI function" port in the Streamdeck MIDI plugin once you have connected the Rodecaster :-) Thanks to many people in the comments for suggesting this, and I was finally able to get a Windows VM running to test. I also used the latest MIDI Plugin
    This is a real game changer, and makes the workflow for your Livestreams or Podcasts much easier as you can control the main functions of the Rodecaster at the touch of a Streamdeck button!

    Great video! Unfortunately, changing banks doesn't seem to be working with Rodecaster Pro 1 :( It was what I was really looking for since RCP1 does not have physical buttons to switch between banks, pitty... Also, for RCP1 users, the numbering of the sound pads is from left to right top to bottom, meaning that in the video the sound pad number 5 for RCP2 users, is number 2 for RCP1 users.

Do the same with a delay to mimic stop recording. See docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JLADLN3Qk5nR9MyZ9KH_h0WKghdusyN9RK2fszAhYn0/htmlview for all the commands I can find so far.

      Ecamm will only record whatever you have being sourced from the RCP2 as a single track, so multitrack recording in Ecamm is not supported. regarding exporting the files from the RCP2 to the cloud, this would still have to be done manually as far as I know.

    This is almost an awesome video, but glad I tested out the few samples you gave before I got the pdf. The sound bank commands when in multi action function one out of two presses. I believe this is due to having to use the toggle setting. If you have time to press the button twice it no longer is a multifunction. Appreciate the work you put in the video. If you get the action to work each time you press the button let me know. Otherwise it is very misleading.

    • @NeilFarrimond
      @NeilFarrimond  Před 5 měsíci

      Hi thanks for the response. I don't have the same issue you see. Even if I quickly press twice on the Multifunction button, this does not stop the button from working when you long press it. The Toggle has to be set for this type as you are changing pad bank & activating the pad effect. Long pressing the Multifunction button always works for me.

    This information is brilliant and it does work... providing you have your Rodecaster Pro II connected to the computer using USB1. For some reason the MIDI app (and indeed Rode Central) doesn't detect a connected device if its connected with USB 2.
    Here's the problem for me, I run my conference calls and live streams from a second computer, and that needs the USB Chat function that's only available on USB1. I can't connect my stream deck to that second computer because that is being used to control the software I do demonstrations of.
    If Rode could make the Procaster II visible in Rode central with USB 2, that would I'm sure solve the problem. So slightly frustrating, but I still appreciate the information you've shared here and talking the time to do it. Thank you.

      Some additional information... while you can't add a 'Hold' function as parrt of a Multi action button on the stream deck, you can a Toggle function. But to get it to work you need to add the toggle function twice... then it works exactly like hold.
      The only remaining issue that I can't figure out how two get the mic input to a known state on the Rodecaster using the stream deck... you know so that when the action is part of a macro isn not doing the opposite of what I intended.

    I was so excited last week when I got this setup, after buying your PDF. But since Friday, none of my buttons are doing anything on the Rodecaster Pro 2. No commands are working anymore. I even double checked it against the PDF, and everything is still setup correctly. The MIDI plug-in appears to have been updated on 2/27/24 (last Tuesday). Maybe the update broke something?
    If I change the "On" value from "127" to "1", I get feedback on the Stream Deck's button when I press the corresponding button on the Rodecaster itself. In other words, the Stream Deck button I create to mute a microphone will flash states when I press the hardware Mute button on the RCP2. So, I know they are communicating. But no matter what else I change or try, the Stream Deck will not command anything on the RCP2 I had setup from last week. It's like the commands aren't being sent to the RCP2 correctly (or at all).

If I change them to "1", I at least see feedback on the Stream Deck when I press a physical button on the RCP2... but no commands output from the Stream Deck change anything on the RCP2. The "button pressed" feedback only occurs on the "Mute" commands.
      I did not make any changes before the problem occurred several days ago. I've only updated the "On" commands today trying to troubleshoot. But, at least I know there is some communication from the RCP2 to the Stream Deck. The RCP2 is either not receiving the command from the Stream Deck, or the command is flawed somehow.

I created a MUTE button for channel 1 using the settings in the PDF and it works for me with no issue. For reference, I only changed the MIDI value from 127 to 1 for the REC multi action as this is a special case. For the rest, you can leave it as default. Make sure you have the RCP2 outputs selected in the configuration and that your RCP 2 is configured for MIDI.

      The issue was apparently in the RCP2, where it was sending MIDI commands but not receiving them. I did a full reboot of every device simultaneously. Meaning not just powering down, but killing all incoming power, waiting a minute, then plugging it all back in, starting with the computer FIRST. When doing so, the RCP2 got stuck in a boot/reboot loop. No idea why. But I again unplugged it and powered it back on again. Then it worked flawlessly.
      Can't thank you enough for your help on this. It's apparently such an obscure setup, that it's hard to find the information to troubleshoot it!
      I think I'll just make completely unplugging the RCP2 after each recording part of my process. That way it's a clean boot up for everything each time.
      I have downloaded both your PDF instruction sheet... which is much more helpful and straightforward than what I found from Rode, since it's specific to the Stream Deck. Your videos are awesome. I also picked up your Icon Pack since I just setup your new "Record" multi-action also. It's works flawlessly now as well. Very cool.
      Thanks again, and I hope this is helpful to someone in the future that may come across the same issue.

    you can control the volume of the monitor volume button with control 43 and whatever channel. If you select a virtual channel, then you are able to control the selected channel via the monitor-volume button. but not unselected. Trying to figure it out. Its sending two commands when controlling volume.

It will cycle through the next time I press the first action again. Not really sure why it won't toggle off when pressed during the switch action.@@NeilFarrimond

    • @Apollo3p

      Hey I found a solution which probably stems from me not having a super good familiarity with how the midi functions output their operations but if I have 2 toggles in each part of the switch it will turn on and off as desired. So now I press the first part of the toggle, it turns on a voice modifier and pressing it again to run the second part of the switch now turns it off. This is just the default toggle with nothing adjusted besides the operation(35) and correct channel picked. I apologize for my lack of understanding on this.

Your MIDI virtual interface should see these and MIDI IN & OUT - the Rodecaster is acting as a MIDI device which can be controlled / mapped via the Windows driver. So the path should be: StreamDeck->loopMIDI->Rodecaster. As I mentioned I don't have a Windows device right now to test this workflow.

    Hello Neil,
    I hope this message finds you well. I couldn't locate an email address to reach out to you directly, so I'm leaving my comment here. I recently purchased your PDF document and icons for the Stream Deck. Thank you for creating such useful resources!
    I have a question regarding the icons: Is it possible to change an icon's appearance when I press a button? For instance, could the icon turn light red when the mic is muted, and revert to a grey-red color when it's not? I've implemented a similar feature for my smart home devices, allowing me to easily see whether a device is on or off directly from the Stream Deck. It would be fantastic to have the same functionality for the Rodecaster, such as showing the mic status or indicating which sound pad is currently playing.
    Thank you for considering my question, and I look forward to your guidance.

      Your video is also unique on CZcams (and therefore very precious), however the videos about the pluggin Loopmidi do not clarify why the PC still does not communicate with the my Rodecaster Duo(only with the elgato streamdeck XL).
      In your video you have the output and input connected to the Rodecaster, however some videos talk about connecting just the output.
