The pads on the RØDECaster Pro II and RØDECaster Duo can also be used to send MIDI messages to software on a computer. This can be used for a wide variety of functions, depending on the software you are using, from vision switching on streaming software to triggering samples in a DAW.
- When you look for the RØDECaster Pro II or RØDECaster Duo MIDI devices in DAWs, they will be displayed as "MIDI Function"
- When setting up a MIDI pad, a MIDI message will be pre-assigned.
You can also set the pad to send any custom MIDI message by clicking ‘Custom’. You can then adjust the type of message (Control Change [CC] or Note), the control number or note, the MIDI channel the message is sent to, and the value.
You can also set the pad to send just an ‘On’ message, just an ‘Off’ message or to send both ‘On’ and ‘Off’ messages – in which case the ‘On’ message is sent when the pad is pressed, and the ‘Off’ message is sent when the pad is released.
You can also send MIDI messages to the RØDECaster Pro II and RØDECaster Duo from a computer.
