New York, NY (July 9, 2021)—Røde has updated its RødeCaster Pro mixer with a new firmware update. Version 2.1.2 gives users access to MIDI control for syncing the RødeCaster Pro with DAWs and streaming software, new sound pad modes, nine language options and more.
Intended primarily for podcasting and livestreaming, the RødeCaster Pro now offers MIDI control as a feature, allowing users to control a range of functions on a computer from the mixer itself, ranging from level faders within a DAW to scenes within streaming software. Currently, the RødeCaster Pro’s MIDI control feature is only fully supported by Logic Pro X (Mac) and Reaper (Mac and Windows).
Other new offerings in the firmware update include new sound pad modes, including ‘Swear Button’ and ‘Trash-Talk’ mode, and new language options for the RødeCaster Pro and Companion App, including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
