With the new Generic MIDI plugin, you can now use your Stream Deck to send commands to MIDI-enabled devices like the RØDECaster Pro II. This allows you to centralize your entire podcasting or streaming workflow, controlling everything from your smart lights to your audio interface from a single panel.
This update introduces a powerful, free Generic MIDI plugin, which you can install from the Stream Deck plugin store. This adds a new category of actions that can send specific MIDI commands to connected hardware. You can now configure a key to perform actions like muting a specific channel on your audio mixer by setting its Channel, Command, and Button type. The plugin also lets you select your hardware directly from the Midi ports dropdown to ensure commands are sent to the correct device.

By bringing hardware audio control into your automated workflow, you can create a more seamless and professional production experience with less manual effort. This integration is a game-changer for anyone looking to simplify complex audio and video setups.
