Studio One 6.5 DAWProject Integration

[moss]

I gave Dawproject between Bitwig and Studio One a good try,but it currently does not work(at least not for me).

Please report your issues to Bitwig and/or Presonus, so they can improve it.

So then tried the Moss Project Converter. This converts Bitwig Dawproject songs and can export to Reaper,and this works very well. It will even convert between Bitwigs clip view including scenes.

In Reaper,all the scenes are displayed along the top of the Reaper arrangement page and can be mouse clicked to play the clips in them. It succesfully loaded all the VSTs used in Bitwig seamlessly. Of course,if you use Bitwig instruments to compose your song then a suitable VST substitute will have to be loaded manually.

Great to hear!

The Bitwig conversion-export side seems to work fine. I exported and re-imported into Bitwig,and all was well. Its when you try to import the converted file into Studio One that it often does not work - very hit and miss. I see no point in reporting this to Presonus,as I am sure they must already know this.

Never be sure of this and if more people report something the importance raises. I reported some issues to them which got fixed in the latest update.

I take your point.

Further to trying your app with Studio One,I used your converter to import into Studio One,and this pretty much solved all of the problems I had experienced using the native Bitwig converter. Using your app in between Bitwig and Studio One allows for export of the clip view and scenes directly into Studio One much like it works in Reaper. All of the VSTs that I used in Bitwig loaded up correctly in Studio One. Good work

Didn't think of that! Great idea!

It gets better.

After importing into Studio One with your converter it is possible to create an arranger track and assign all the Bitwig scenes to intro-chorus-bridge etc,and either rearrange them in the inspector,or just click on them with mouse to trigger them. It takes a few seconds to re-create in Studio One what you previously had in the Bitwig clip launcher.(minus the ability to loop individual clips). I am sure you already knew this,being the creator,but I am just confirming that it works well.

Has anyone ever used the DAW project format between Bitwig and Presonus?
I started experimenting with it today. While the export process works, the import into Studio One did not yield the expected results.
In Studio One, the MIDI tracks function properly. However, for the sample tracks (samples triggered using the clip launcher function in Bitwig), the samples only appear once, essentially at the point where I first triggered them in Bitwig. All subsequent beats do not appear.

I am on 5.18 Bitwig and 6.6 Studio One

I think the ProjectConverter app by Mossgrabber gives you the best results:

But looping Bitwig clips seems not be included till now:

P.S.: I tried to convert some Bitwig and Reaper projects with it on macOS 14.5 but got only crashes when I hit the convert button.

The new version works (again). Thanks, Moss
So you can export Bitwig clips into scene markers in the Studio One arrangement or just record the clips to arrangement in Bitwig before export.
On the sample question: I tried to get the Bitwig Sampler to export via dawproject into a Studio One SampleOne for a Bitwig kick sample, but had no luck. SampleOne doesn't show up. I used Bitwig 5.19 and S1 6.6.

A generic sampler instrument does currently not exist in the specification but would be interesting to be added. Especially, since both Bitwig and Studio One support the multisample format. And that is also the workaround you can apply. Export a multisample file from the Bitwig Sampler which can then be loaded in to the Studio One sampler.
