Hi

I have rencenty purchased Bitwig and a M-audio25, the keys and pitch work on the generic controller setting, but nothing else!

Does anyone know how I can get everything working ?

There is a script for the O25 at github. Have you tried it?

Thankyou!

My next question is there a step by step on how to install it?

The instructions are not making much sense to me :-/

It mentions Korg nanoKONTROL v1 and setting scenes. - I dont quite understand what I need to do!

I'm completely new to Bigwig , If anyone can explain to me the steps to get the scrip working I'd be really grateful!

Thanks again!

How to install:
http://www.bitwig.com/en/community/installation_guide

Close BWS and install to the described location.

Reopen BWS, go to Options/Preferences/Controllers.

On this tab: If your controller is not automatically detected you will have to "Add controller manually".

It should be in your list of available controllers. From there, assign the proper ins/outs and you should be good to go.

I also suggest reading the sticky threads at the start of the forum:
http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 9&t=407092

http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 9&t=406759

I know it is a lot of reading but there is a vast wealth of information that is particularly useful to newcomers to BWS.

There's also a LOT of information contained in the posted threads that will help you get through the initial struggles of BWS.

And, there's a lot of videos that are useful:

It gets easier as you go along.

Ok, I have placed the script into the correct folder.

Bitwig doesn't detect the O25 and it doesn't show in the controller list.

Any Ideas?

Many thanks !

Sorry the delay....got saddled with some honey do's.

The folder structure should be C:/Users/[Your user name]/Documents/Bitwig Studio/Controller Scripts/M-Audio

Drop the script into the M-Audio folder and BWS should recognize it.

Hi dsan!

Thanks for your help so far... I have everything in the correct folder structure with the M-Audio folder and still it doesn't show in the listings.

I've checked a few times and I can't see that I'm doing anything different to the instructions.

I just noticed....the folder named M-Audio is lower case in my structure.

Try making the folder M-Audio into m-audio.

Also - did you already have a script for the Oxygen 25? If so, and BWS did not first recognize it, it assumes another script by that name is the same as the first.

If you had a previous script:
Close BWS.
Delete the previous script.
Open BWS.
Close BWS.
Put the new script in the folder.
Open BWS.
Go through the pref sequence as previously described.

Hopefully that will do the trick.

If not then save the script here:
C:program Files (x86)/Bitwig Studio/resources/controllers/m-audio

It shouldn't be this location though as I think this location is reserved for the scripts created by Team BWS.

Hello again!

Still doesn't work!

Any other ideas?

I wonder if its the script? :-///

dsan@mail.com · Post by **dsan@mail.com** » Mon Oct 20, 2014 8:08 pm

No, I don't think so, too many others using it without problem.

Here is a different script to try:
https://github.com/ntrval/bitwig_oxygen25_w8knobs

Hopefully it will work or maybe Tom will drop by here to give you some other ideas to try.

Maybe change your thread title to include UNSOLVED. This will be a flag to others.

Be sure to change it to SOLVED if you get resolution

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Hi dsan

You have been more than helpful - Thankyou!

Tired the other script and still no joy!

Should the m-audio folder show up in bitwig after I place it here C:\Users\$$$$$$\Documents\Bitwig Studio\Controller Scripts?

Does anyone else have any idea?

I'm running windows 8.1

That is the correct spot for user added controller scripts.

Inside BWS you should see m-audio when you click on "Add controller manually" on the Controller tab in preferences.

The only other reason I can think of it is not showing up is if it is not named with ".js" at the end. Can you confirm it is named accurately?

I'm going to try to point Thomas in this direction. Maybe he has some ideas.
