How to run your stream visuals from your keyboard or a MIDI controller
Every shortcut is on the Devices page, under Hotkeys. You can change any key, or run the same actions from your DJ controller.
The default keys
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Space | Next visual |
| Backspace | Previous visual |
| B | Blackout |
| P | Pin or release |
| R | Run or stop the playlist |
| O | Open or close the fullscreen output |
| M | Marquee message |
| N | Next scene |
| 1 to 6 | Show or hide overlays 1 to 6 |
| Ctrl + 1 to Ctrl + 4 | Overlay presets |
| Alt + 1 to Alt + 0 | Logos |
| F1 to F4 | Favorite packs |
| F5 to F8 | Canned messages |
Keys do nothing while you are typing in a text box.
Change a key
- Open Devices and scroll down to Hotkeys.
- Click the action you want to change.
- Press the new key. Esc cancels.
Use your DJ controller
- Plug in your controller.
- Open Devices, and pick it under MIDI controller.
- Press Connect.
- Next to an action, like Next visual or Blackout, click learn.
- Hit a pad on your controller. That pad now runs the action.
- Do the same for each action you want on a pad.
Tips
- Put Next scene on a pad, and you can change your whole look without touching the mouse.
- What each action does: see Control your stream visuals mid-set and Stream overlays.
