MidiKey2Key is a free software that lets You turn any MIDI-In event into a keyboard-action on your computer or start any program or command on your computer. The posibilities are almost unlimited.
All you need is a MIDI-device connected to your PC which can send MIDI-commands.
I.e. a small MIDI-pad with nice buttons is recommended to be turned into a command-board, which controls actions on your PC.
So it is possible, to switch scenes in OBS (Open Broadcaster Software, streams games or your entire windows-desktop) by touching a button of your MIDI-device or MIDI-footpedal.
Even the program-start of OBS itself can be initiated by your MIDI-device.

There are some more features planned to integrate into MidiKey2Key, so check frequently for updates.
