Another great resource for free (Midi) Plugins for Windows 32 and 64 Bit:

CCStepper is a CC Sequencer with some great features.
Chordit can trigger chords for you.
RandARP is an arpeggiator with some cool randomization features.
VST Notepad allows to store text in a VST for later reference, lyrics, notes...

Very cool tools - thanks CodeFN42!

Cheers,

Tom

Well, this one may seem funny, but I actually created a Bitwigish Scheme for Komodo Edit

Most Code-Colour Schemes are a bit on the weird side so I looked for something with good readability while still looking nice (to me at least) and not breaking the visual flow while writing scripts for Bitwig Studio.

Here's the download:
http://www.screendream.de/stuff/Bitwig/ ... Scheme.zip

Komodo Edit is an awesome free code editor for dozens of languages.
http://komodoide.com/komodo-edit/
Best feature ever: no matter where you are in a mixed code page: Hit CTRL-3 to comment out, CTRL-2 to uncomment. Works with PHP, CSS, JS in HTML or whatever - the correct comments are used. No matter if something is selected or not.

Love it.

Tom

I implemented a controller script which allows to use the OSC protocol with Bitwig.

I had the AKAI EWI USB Windcontroller here for testing and created a basic Controller Script for it:
https://github.com/bitwig/akai-ewi
The Device has not too many controller features but it's autodetected by the script, all CCs can be mapped and Polyphonic Aftertouch (which it supports although it's a basically monophonic instrument) will be translated to Timbre...

I was literally blown away by this controller.
Highly recommended to give it a try if you can.

Cheers,

Tom

For all the users of external hardware, this should be pretty interesting:

http://ctrlr.org/

"Control any MIDI enabled hardware: synthesizers, drum machines, samplers, effects. Create custom User Interfaces. Host them as VST or AU plugins in your favorite DAWs."

Nice approach, but this is not true surround, just quadraphonic..would really love to have full multichannel support, with LFE channel and 5 additional outputs. Do you know if that is planned maybe?

That´s true, i did create a real setup. I did use an 7.1 soundcard (Scarlett 18i20) for production.
First you have to make sure that every Output of Bitwig is connected rightly to the right Output of your soundcard. (see pic 1, Scarlett mixer)
(I did this running Win, ´cause Focusrite does not support an GUI for Linux) So I connected the Mix 1,this containes DAW 1 and 2, as you can see on the pic in the right corner, to the Monitor Output 1 and 2 (can be found on the pic under Routing Presets, pic 1). Afterwards i connected DAW 3, which in my case the Center channel (see pic 2) (I did set it up this way, you gotta see which configuration your soundcard has.) to Line Output 3, which is the Center channel on the Scarlett HW.

If it´s all done, you gotta set up an Effect Track in Bitwig for each of these groups, depending on your configuration you have 6-8 Mono Tracks, or in my case 3 stereo ( for Front, Rear and Surround side) and the rest are Mono tracks.

It might be useful to setup high and low-pass filter on the individual tracks. For example, If you use the send knobs on the Bass line track, you can send the Full ammount to the LFE channel an a smaller portion to the Front if you like (i wouldn´t cut the Front speakers of any freq. if they can play the full range). Honestly i haven´t figured it out how to make a sound pass all of the speakers except the LFE. So that it may start in the Front and endup in the Rearspeakers.

Hope this might be helpfull.

greetings

To enhance Bitwig instruments selection. As they are sf2 they integrate smoothly to the Multisample pool. FluidR3 and SonatinaSO are confirmed to be working.

Hi, just wanna share some stuff.

I did create some Multisamples for Bitwig,(out of the Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra package) the pack is not perfect but anyway, a way to start with or to add some nice sounds to you project.

The pack includes Violins, Basses, Bassoon, Celli, Clarinet, Flute, Horns, Piano, Trombones and a bunch more.
If you like, use it, improve it and share the stuff you have.

You can find the Multis following the link below: https://mega.co.nz/#F!JRohADSY!OB5ZoRrJ3rIi0LfZuXa9Ow

(mabe you still have to wait a bit, the upload takes a while, thanks.

)

greetings

Hey,
in a quick moment of (more or less stupid) inspiration, i did this splashscreen extension which turned out to be very cool (as I think):

Bitwings.png

Installation:
Rename it to 'splash.png' and replace the original splash.png file (under Windows e.g. under: Programs(x86)/Bitwig Studio/resources).

Have fun
