ControlCast Redux

A fork of the original with planned improvments to come.

Planned Updates

• Multiple Pages with Page Controls
• Audio Controls Assignments on Launchpad

What does it do?

ControlCast is an application that allows you to turn a midi launchpad into a stream deck to take your streams to the next level. This Repo is a fork of the original where I plan to add tweaks and additional features I think would make it better due to the program being out of date.

What Launchpad Devices work with ControlCast?

• Launchpad Mini
• Launchpad S
• Launchpad MK1

How does it work?

Most streaming software (OBS, XSplit) let you bind hotkeys to perform certain tasks when streaming to services like Twitch. Tasks like Start/Stop the stream, switching scenes, and muting your microphone. And 3rd party voice services often offer 'toggle to mute' or 'hold to mute' keybinds. (Discord, Skype, Teamspeak)

Edit individual midi keys to:

• Send or Hold a configured hotkey combination.
• Play a local or remote audio file.
• Show images or gifs in an overlay with animations.

Updating - I'm not too rehersed with this so I'll need to look into this may remove it.

• Updates are downloaded and applied automatically in the background.
• When presented with the update icon in the upper right of the app, click to close and reopen to latest version.
• Config settings remain persistent between updates.
• WARNING: Reinstalling via the Setup.exe file will override the config file.

I plan on removing the woopra service to avoid any unnecessary network loads.

Woopra is used for anylitics. No personal information is gathered. I'm mostly just curious how many ControlCast are out there in the world. It will also let me see what features are most/least used in the app. Pretty neat.
