CoyoteMIDI - Turn MIDI devices into macro keyboards

CoyoteMIDI is a free windows app that lets you turn MIDI messages into keystrokes, mouse clicks, and more, allowing you to control scenes in OBS through MIDI controllers. With CoyoteMIDI, setting up these translations takes mere seconds. It is also possible to control much more throughout your entire windows system beyond OBS.

Setting up a translation is as easy as it can be.

Your last update post described a MacOS version, but when clicking on the download link I only see Windows... Is this available yet?

Hey,

Thank you for your interest! The last update included the final changes that were needed for us to achieve MacOS compatibility, but we haven't publicly released it yet.

Our plan is to announce our early open MacOS beta on the 8th of June, but you're free to have a go at it a little earlier already if you'd like to. You can find our article with the download link to the MacOS version, as well as the instructions on the installation here.

If you do end up trying it out, please consider reaching out to us about any issues you might find. Ideally, over Discord.

Thanks!

Best,
Sander

First off, thank you very much for trying out the MacOS beta!

Unfortunately, currently every time the app updates, the permissions have to be reassigned. Including when the Production version is switched for a Beta version. MacOS will detect the new version of the app as an entirely separate app, while it will leave the entry of the previous version in, and sometimes confuse them while you try to re-add it.

Make sure you remove CoyoteMIDI from all the relevant permissions, and then add them again. That should do the trick.

When no other applications are detecting the keystroke being performed by CoyoteMIDI, it's most likely because the app does not have Accessibility API permissions. That should hopefully be resolved too once the permissions are updated.

This issue should be resolved once we buy into the Apple developer ecosystem, but given how small of an operation we are, we really wanted to find out if our product could operate well enough on mac at all before we make that investment.

Please do keep us up to date with your experience!

Best,
Sander

I did remove CoyoteMIDI from all permissions as you suggested, tried exiting the program after updating, then removing permissions, then relaunching and granting permissions, etc, with a quit / relaunch each time as well as with intervening quits... but still no change in operation. I have deleted all my translations and just click "add translations", click a midi-cc-generating button on my nanoKontrol, and then record an 'S' character to be output. When I press the midi button, I see the arrow icon flash, indicating recognition of the midi-press, but no 'S' is being output in the keyboard driver/interface... I can verify this by going into my browser and clicking in the 'Search' field and pressing the midi key. I see the arrow flash when I press the button in the coyote interface, but no 'S' appears in the search field of the browser (it is the active window..)

Does the logo indicator on the app logo in the top left of the window indicate in red? (Like this:

) If so, the app might still not have the permissions it requires, and something is still going wrong in that regard. If it does not have the red indicator, then the app has all the permissions that it needs and there may be something else wrong here.

 

[lcalder]

Yes. It sure does. No amount of switching the permissions to on and off will change it either... as far as I can tell.

Have you tried removing CoyoteMIDI from that list entirely by selecting it and clicking the - button, before readding it? Otherwise MacOS will be trying to change the permissions of the previous version of the app, instead of the current one.

It seems that, although Macos CoyoteMIDI allows one to output a keystroke for F13-F24, nothing is actually output for these... I was trying to use them, as Macos is supposed to support them and I was happy to see them listed in the Coyote interface, but testing shows that nothing is output, as opposed to other keys/combinations, including the standard F1-F12 - which all work.
