Hi fellow bitwig users i was wondering if anyone can tell me a bit about this pic off polysynths macros and what are those colour centers for? I've seen them on a few sites but am unsure what they represent! I'm keen to learn the wig in side out lol. So any info on what they are would be great...
Cheers

It's a color indication of what the Remote Control is mapped to. For instance, assign a Remote Control to a Macro modulator; you will see the modulator inherit the color of the Remote Control.coltpeacemaker wrote:Hi fellow bitwig users i was wondering if anyone can tell me a bit about this pic off polysynths macros and what are those colour centers for?

Further, notice the little colored dots in the left-hand, top corner as these indication Remote Control association with direct parameters on a device. This can be seen with "FEG Curve" target.

Not really. The colours represent the knob of a 8-knob MIDI controller which controls given macro or parameter (therefore they're doubled on the device itself). If you buy Bitwig boxed, there's even a sheet of stickers attached that you can stick on your controller with those exact colours: red for 1st knob, orange for 2nd, yellow for 3rd, and so on.lunardigs wrote:It's a color indication of what the Remote Control is mapped to.

The Macros/Remotes are definitely one of the least well explained elements in the manual (which is itself fairly uninformative). If anyone has a link to a PooTube tutorial or such I'd love to learn more about them.

No, not really. The Remote (say with a red markers) can be controlling a Modulator, that adjusts level of several parameters on the device. You won't see red markers on more than one of those parameters, hence it's not true that it shows which parameters are controlled by the Remote.SLiC wrote:Both of the above

The color notation seems to follow the current controller "bank", which I don't believe is restricted to just eight knobs. I have to play around some more.
