I’m writing these notes up, mainly as a reference for me in the future - but they might just help others looking to do similar.

Issue:

During the Coronavirus season, our church, like many, ventured into the world of streaming services, primarily to YouTube but with an eye to multiplexing to both YouTube and Facebook at the same time.

Initially, the plan was to stream from OBS Studio to an intermediate platform, restream.io

Project History!

The intention of this post is to serve as an aide-memoire for a little project I’ve been working on recently.

From time to time, I lead worship at my church, and play acoustic guitar.  For song lyrics / chord charts I use a popular app on IOS called Onsong.

A while ago I found an old guitar foot switch unit that started life belonging to a Marshall amp.  I took most of it’s inwards out and wired up a simple Bluetooth keyboard to the 4 main switches, and then in turn, paired this with my Ipad.  Within Onsong settings, I configured the footpedal options to respond to “keyboard” presses - u = Up, d = down, n = next song .and p = previous song.
