Do you like it? I'm considering the MK-2 with 15 buttons.

[For those who don't know what this is, you connect it like a MIDI Control Surface, and program keyboard shortcuts. I can see why it might make working in some music software more efficient, but I have yet to read a recommendation by a musician.]

Ask, and ye shall receive. There is active development of an Elgato Stream Deck script for Gig Performer to support its use in live performances and in the studio. There is a long GP forum (over 200 posts) that I can't link to because its in the beta testers thread, and not available to non-beta testers. I'll link to other short threads that reference Stream Deck. Suffice it to say that gigging performers are making excellent use of it when performing for audiences.

This first thread started a few years ago, but is still alive.

A thread about the new model, Stream Deck +

And a link to the Gig Performer website. I've been using it for years and have found it quite useful, even for my studio-only use.

I've been using streamdeck for couple of years.
I had the 15 button one, recently sold it and upgraded to xl version. You can have many "pages" in it for very different tasks and different programs. Very useful for repetitive tasks. I also use it for non music, work related stuff. Once you figure it out (usually within one hour or so) it is convenience and a time saver.

Check out these people. I make my own buttons and commands, which is super easy, but I am considering their set for Cakewalk:

Recently I made a Midi Control trigger pads for U-Jam drums.

Thank you both!

EDIT: I picked one up today at Best Buy and I’ve started fooling with it. Fun!

Next attempt: macros in my Notation software.
