MIDI Hotkeys: Streamline Music Production Workflows

A lightweight software allowing MIDI keyboard or controller actions assignment to keyboard shortcuts, mouse clicks, macro commands and more for efficient music production.

What is MIDI Hotkeys?

MIDI Hotkeys is a small application that enables you to connect MIDI keyboards, controllers or surfaces and assign the buttons, knobs, faders and keys to keyboard shortcuts, mouse functions, application macros and various custom actions.

With MIDI Hotkeys you can greatly improve and customize your music production workflow. For example, you can assign transport controls like play and record to buttons on your MIDI keyboard. Or map commonly used actions like copy, paste, undo etc. to knobs and faders instead of using the mouse.

The software works by intercepting keyboard and mouse input at a low level. When you trigger a control on your MIDI device, MIDI Hotkeys converts that into the corresponding keyboard shortcut or mouse click behind the scenes. This allows it to interface with virtually any desktop software.

Some of the use cases that MIDI Hotkeys enables:

• Controlling your DAW mixing console with a hardware control surface
• Using MIDI keyboards and controllers for video and image editing shortcuts

Overall, MIDI Hotkeys makes it fast and intuitive to build custom controllers tailored to your specific music production, editing or performance needs. And it implements MIDI mapping in a simpler way than most DAWs and software.
