PCO MusicStand MIDI control Extension

This extension allows you to control Planning Center Online's Music Stand (the web version) using MIDI messages. Use a NanoKontrol to change slides, or automate Music Stand using Ableton Live

Currently 3 types of MIDI messages are supported:

🎵 NOTE ON: you can assign a specific note to go to the previous or next slide

🎛 CONTROL CHANGE: you can assign a specific control change (CC) number to go to the previous or next slide. You also navigate to a specific slide, in that case the control change value (CC value) determines the slide number: value=0 will navigate to slide #1, value=1 for slide #2 etc.

⏭ PROGRAM CHANGE: allows you to navigate to a specific slide, the program number determines the slide number: program 0 will navigate to slide #1, program 1 for slide #2 etc.

🐛I want to keep this extension free of bugs, so please submit any QUESTION or BUG on Github (https://github.com/martijnversluis/pco-musicstand-midi-control-chrome-extension/issues).
