The problem
Mid-stream, you're fumbling for hotkeys, alt-tabbing to your production platform, and clicking through scenes while the audience watches. Every interruption breaks the flow — and the take.
- Hotkeys conflict with the apps you're recording
- Hidden menus during a live take
- Hands leave the instrument, camera, or guests
The solution
One physical trigger, one platform action. TriggerBridge listens to your MIDI gear and speaks fluently to your production platform — so a tap on a pad swaps the scene, fires the recorder, or pushes you live.
- Tactile, eyes-up control of your production
- Use the gear already on your desk
- Reliable mappings that don't conflict with anything
How it works
Three steps to a hands-free rig
Connect
Plug in any class-compliant MIDI device — pad controller, footswitch, keyboard, or full controller — and TriggerBridge detects it instantly.
Translate
Map MIDI notes, CCs, and program changes to specific platform actions inside an intuitive desktop UI. Save mappings as reusable profiles.
Control
Hit the pad. TriggerBridge fires the action in your streaming software with low-latency precision — every time, no fumbling.
Built for real production workflows
Profiles, platform status, MIDI connection, and platform control are visible at a glance — so you can focus on creating, not configuring.
