Macros

Macro buttons let you trigger actions with a single press — from basic hotkeys to smart home scenes, OBS controls, and Spotify playback.
Your Mixlar Mix includes four macro pages, giving you plenty of space to separate workflows (for example: Gaming, Streaming, Work, Smart Home).

​
Macro pages on the mixer

  • The mixer has 4 macro pages.
  • Use the two dedicated page buttons on the device to move between pages.
  • Each page has its own set of macros, so you can keep gaming, workflow, streaming, and smart home controls separate.

​
Editing a macro

To change a macro:
  1. Click on any macro button in Mixlar Control.
  2. A Macro Editor window will open.
  3. Use the tabs at the top to choose what this button should control:
    • Macro
    • Smart Home
    • OBS
    • Spotify
You can also give each macro a name and an optional custom color to keep your layout easy to read.

​
Macro tab (general actions)

The Macro tab contains the core actions that run directly on your PC. Available options:
  • None – the button does nothing.
  • Type Text – insert a text string when pressed.
  • Hotkey – send a keyboard shortcut (for example: Ctrl+Shift+M).
  • Sequence – chain multiple steps together into a multi-step macro.
  • Open Website – launch a URL in your default browser.
  • Open App – start an application.
  • Run Command – run a system command or script.
  • Media Control – play/pause, next, previous, volume, and other media keys.
  • Load Profile – switch to a different Mixlar profile instantly.
Use Sequence together with presets (see below) to build powerful multi-step workflows.

​
Smart Home tab

The Smart Home tab connects your macros to Home Assistant. You can:
  • Toggle lights and switches on or off
  • Adjust brightness levels
  • Change light colors
  • Trigger Home Assistant automations and scenes
This is ideal for streaming setups, studio lighting, or quickly changing your room environment.

​
OBS tab

If OBS integration is enabled, the OBS tab exposes dedicated controls for your streaming setup. You can create macros for:
  • Scene switching
  • Source visibility
  • Record start/stop
  • Stream start/stop
  • Replay controls
  • Mute actions
  • Other – use OBS hotkeys you have configured in OBS settings for advanced behaviors
This makes it easy to run a full broadcast from the Mixlar Mix without touching your keyboard.

​
Spotify tab

The Spotify tab uses the Spotify API to control playback. Available actions include:
  • Play / Pause
  • Next Track
  • Previous Track
  • Like / Heart current track
  • Shuffle
  • Repeat / Loop

​
Presets and multi-step macros

At the bottom of the Macro Editor, you’ll see Load Preset…: Presets let you:
  • Save a macro configuration
  • Reuse it on other buttons
  • Combine it with Sequence actions to build multi-step macros quickly
This is the best way to create complex workflows without rebuilding them from scratch each time.
