Meltopia has introduced a Windows utility that lets users turn MIDI controllers/keyboards into control surfaces for shortcuts, macros, app/system volume, preset switching, and soundboard/sample triggering.
MIDI Command Studio is more than a basic MIDI-to-shortcut app. It allows MIDI controls to be mapped to shortcuts, macros, and volume controls, while also letting a single controller be configured for multiple applications and switched between them instantly. This makes it possible for one device to behave like several purpose-built controllers. The free version can be tested with your own setup first, and if it already does what you need, you can simply keep using it.
