StreamDeck+ Knobs - Use in Custom Macros

    I'm excited that 5.4 is here! I am however a little disappointed that the basic soundflow macros haven't been updated for the SD+ rotary encoders - Macros like the Midi fader bank and system volume seem like they'd be gimme's . Is there any documentation on using the rotary encoders in scripts/macros, so that users can create custom commands for them like we've been able to do with traditional commands? Apologies if I'm missing something - Just quite excited to take full advantage of this integration.

    Thank you!

      Hi Adam,

      I'll be making some guides soon and probably do some kind of webinar with a walkthrough. We'll be updating our apps and commands as we go.

      For today, we had so many moving parts that we needed to release what we had, and we can now start focusing on more of the apps, so stay tuned :)

      For system volume, this is controllable via Stream Deck+ knobs via the "Basics" package under "Media", see "Volume Control". Drop one of the presets onto a Stream Deck Plus deck in the bottom row, and your knobs will work to control your system volume.

          Makes sense, thanks Christian. I'm sure this release was a huge lift with all the new features, so that totally makes sense. I'll be on the lookout :)

              Really looking forward to having basic macros to be able to control things like EQ, Compressors, and other plugins in PT that could benefit from the Stream Deck Plus!

              Hi There
              Just following up on this.
              In the release blurb for 5.4 it says you can control Soundminer volume from the Streamdeck+.
              How would you go about setting that up? I can't find any way in Soundflow to access the rotary controls or their pushbutton feature.
              Thanks!

                Hi Martin,

                Please see version 2.0.0 of the Soundminer package, there's a command called "Volume Control". It's not received tons of testing yet, so let me know how it goes :)

                    Hi Christian
                    I installed it but it says to add the command to a Streamdeck Knob.
                    When I create a Streamdeck Plus Deck in SF it only has a 4x3 button matrix and nothing for the knobs.
                    Am I missing something?
                    Thanks

                        I got it to work.
                        I didn't realise the bottom row represents the knobs.
                        It's working fine here with SM V6.
                        Any chance we could have one that controls the pitch slider too pretty please,
                        that would be amazing?
                        Ta!

                          Thanks! Yea I didn't have time to make a specific UI for the knobs as 5.4 was already getting quite big. Hopefully some day :)

                          Good point on pitch. I'll make a note of it.

                              Is there any chance of an OSC knob suite? MIDI knobs is useful, but OSC would be much more powerful.
