Companion — Mynah — Analog Way LivePremier on a Stream Deck
No screenshot. This one's configuration inside another application.

What it does

A Bitfocus Companion module for Analog Way LivePremier, driven by Mynah command syntax. One action takes any Mynah command, so a button says what it does in words, “Recall Screen 1 Memory 5” or “Take Screen 1 Thru 4”, instead of hiding behind a numeric opcode. There are separate actions too, if you'd rather pick from dropdowns.

It doesn't talk to the Mynah web tool. It's a separate client of the switcher that bundles the same parser and compiler and opens its own Web RCS connection, so neither needs the other running. Mynah also ships an Elgato Stream Deck plugin, and if you already run Companion this module replaces it, since Companion grabs the Stream Deck for itself and the two can't both own the hardware.

  • One Command action that takes any line of Mynah syntax, plus discrete actions with dropdowns
  • A preset library of well over a hundred ready-made buttons — takes per screen and across screens, screen, master and layer memory recalls, stores in a deliberately different colour, and indicators for the screens selected in the vendor's own Web RCS
  • A command builder on the surface: slot keys that relabel themselves as a command is built by pressing keys, and twenty-four macro slots for the commands it parks
  • Status feedbacks for the connection and the last command's result
  • The command planner is the same code as Mynah's, so what a button sends is what the command line would send

Where it stands

Released at v1.1.2, a dependency release, and in field testing. v1.1.1 fixed the module crashing on load when installed from the release package: its About block read package.json from a path that only exists in a checkout, so every packaged release since the About block arrived had crashed, though a checkout on Companion's developer modules path never did. It's been driven end to end inside Companion 5.0.1 against the AW LivePremier simulator. The module loads and starts cleanly, its presets populate, buttons were pressed on a real grid, the slot keys relabel themselves at every step, and the simulator's own socket showed the main paths (a preset recall onto preview, and a take) arriving, built by pressing keys. The command planner is checked against real hardware: it's the same code as Mynah's, and on 9 September 2026 every path that grammar produces was sent to a physical Aquilon C on firmware 6.2.73 and answered, memory paths and audio matrix alike. What hasn't happened is the two together. No button has been pressed against a real device, and none on a physical Stream Deck: everything above ran either in Companion against a simulator, or at hardware through a separate test harness. It isn't in the official Companion module store, so install it as a developer module. Not affiliated with Analog Way or Bitfocus.
