![]() ![]() I’d have to work out how to get audio from Strum Machine running on the same device as Zoom into Zoom, mixed with my microphone, but I’m pretty sure I could do that with VoiceMeeter. Maybe I can ask Luke, the Strum Machine developer, for a playlist feature and a key binding to go to the next tune in a playlist, at which point I could bind a macro to turn the page in Reader and advance to the next tune in Strum Machine, then I could bind button 4 to that macro and 5 to a macro that selects the Strum Machine tab and presses the space bar to start it playing. And if I get a key binding to turn pages in Reader, that’ll eliminate one. The only time I have to use my hands there is to load up the next tune in Reader and Strum Machine and start Strum Machine. Step on button 6 to un-mute everyone, button 3 to switch my camera to just me, and button 2 to switch the stream to gallery view, and start over from the top.Tap start in Strum Machine, and play the tune.Step on button 3 to switch my camera to the sheet music view, button 6 to mute everyone, and button 1 to switch the stream to the sheet music view.Tell everyone what’s up next, and that I’ll be muting them soon. ![]() On the ipad or laptop that’s running Strum Machine for accompaniment, load up the next tune there as well. While we’re between tunes and my camera is just showing me, switch to Reader and find the next tune to be played.OBS Studio with the two scenes I’m switching between I don’t know if Reader has similar functionality built in. Zoom and OBS both have settings to let their hotkeys work no matter what application has focus, which is letting me switch scenes in OBS even though it’s in the background while I’m in Zoom, and lets me mute/unmute everyone in Zoom even if I’ve switched over to Reader to find the next tune. I may have to load some kind of system hotkey software to send those keypresses specifically to Reader I’m not sure. Right now I have to use my hands to find the next tune in the full PDF, which is mildly annoying. I’m not using Alt-S or Spacebar, so if I get my act together before next month’s jam, what I’ll probably do is rebind those to keys which turn the page back and forth in Adobe Reader, so I can make a PDF containing just the tunes for that month, and page through them without using my hands there, either. Alt-M: Zoom’s hotkey to toggle “Mute All”.Spacebar: hold to un-mute myself if I’m muted in Zoom.Alt-S: Zoom’s hotkey for screen sharing.Alt-F3: A hotkey I set in OBS to transition between scenes in Studio mode.Alt-F2: Zoom’s hotkey to switch to Gallery mode.Alt-F1: Zoom’s hotkey to switch to Speaker mode.I’ve configured one of those modes to send the following keyboard commands: The pedal has seven modes, six of which are configurable (one of which sends MIDI commands, which I want to start experimenting with). What the bluetooth pedal lets me do is switch everything without using my hands. I use Zoom’s built-in streaming feature to stream the jam to YouTube, and whichever mode my client is in, that’s the view that goes to the stream. It avoids forcing them into the sheet music mode like it would do if I were sharing my screen in Zoom, but it does let me choose which view is being streamed to YouTube. This allows people on the Zoom version of the jam to choose whether they see the sheet music (by switching to speaker view themselves) or if they see everyone else playing along (by being in gallery view). During the jam, when we’re between tunes I switch to the scene that’s just the camera view and set my Zoom client to show the gallery view (everyone in a grid), and when we’re playing a tune I switch to the sheet music scene and set my Zoom client to speaker view, with my own video pinned. ![]() I start the virtual camera in OBS, and select that as my camera in Zoom so that I’m feeding the output of OBS into Zoom as my camera.
