DrivenByMoss: Bitwig extension for many hardware controllers (version 23.2.1)

[stamp]

Hello,
i recently purchase PUSH 2 for use in Bitwig. It would be amazing to be able use 16 velocities for sequencer? Right now is not very convenient to make changes of volume. Long press and change volume is not usefull for quick volume editing. way via accent is better, but you also need to set accented volu first, with is not very fast.
Anyway thank you very much for your work, it is magic!

Could you describe how you envision it to work?

press and hold a pad and then press one of the scene launch buttons. That's only 8 velocities but would be really cool.

Hi There!

First of all thanks for the awesome script! There is one thing what im missing for my APC40 MKI what ableton had and it would be so great function for big sets..Is it possible that the view in clipview is following the bank slector (the grey area) ?

It will make my year!

Greetings!

Not possible. See the discussion on the previous page.

I meant 16 velocities for drum sequencer from Ableton, or Akai Force. It would make big difference for me personally, in terms of speed and fluidity of work. And maybe to include dim of pads in sequence to shine according to velocity (but i suspect this is not possible, because is not happening also in Ableton).

Hello,
also a lot of thanks for this really great script!

Right now i'm trying to get the sequencer function of the novation launchpad pro mk3 to work. Everything else seems to work, the sequencer is visible, but doesn't seem to run.

In the documentation it says "To have pads blinking in sync with your song tempo activate to send MIDI clock to the device." and i would guess that this should in general be needed for the sequencer?

And the setting for this would be in the bitwig settings -> synchronisation -> clock + start/stop enabled for Launchpad Pro MK3 LPProMK3 MIDI?

Is there anything else which could hinder the sequencer from running?

It does work in the standalone mode and i already updated to the newest firmware.

No, you do not need the sync to make the seuqencers work. What you need to do is to ensure that you have a selected clip in Bitwig. Especially, when you start up Bitwig you often need to click once on a new clip to make it work.

First of all thousands thnx for your great work.

1.
I have downloaded the 11.6.1 combi-pack, but i dont find any APC scripts???? The documentaion seems INDIRECT to say that APC 40 (mark1, the old one) is supported, but it does not explain how to SETUP an APC 40????

2.
I saw your FLEX-Video and it seems very, very intersting. But before i spend hours/days/weeks one question: Is it possible with just that FLEX to create a really advanced script of my own taste, but as advanced as your original APC 40 script? For example if i press the Pan/SendA.... Buttons - that the Knobs get into another mode? Or is it possible that i use eg. clip-launch buttons to set the knobs to another modes???? Is that possible with just that FLEX construction set???

The included manual has detailed instructions how to install DrivenByMoss. After that the APC40 should get auto-detected. If not, you can add it manually in the controller settings. If it is not showing up, you put the extension file in the wrong folder.

You can configure all the control related things (incl. modes) but not any advanced stuff like sequencers.

Thanks a million Moss for the amazing work you did here!
The new functionalities are really helpful.
However, with the new version, the play button is not working anymore with my launchpad X.
I tried both with the last version of Bitwig on Windows, and with 3.3.1 on Linux and the problem is the same.
Any idea on how to fix this?

Dear moss, you are truly godsent. Some months ago I asked about clip pinning, and you were just about done implementing it. About a week ago i asked about highres CC, and now it's there already, what the heck! <3

One last issue me and my friend are experiencing with the push2:
Whenever we the "new clip" button on the push2, "overdub while playing launcher clips" is automatically activated, which means playing with the drum sequencer on the push records midi notes as soon as we try to select drum pads. Is there a way to change this behaviour? thank you so much in advance and all the best!

I just released a little bug fix update 11.7.1:

• Launchpad
  • Fixed: Play button in shift view did not work.
  • Fixed: Using browse button combination in drum mode did randomly change the pad mappings.
• Komplete Kontrol MkI
  • Fixed: Linux: Added USB access rights to rules file and added installation instructions to the manual.

Enjoy!

Dear Moss,

Thank you for your quick answer, your new commit fixed the play button issue.
Unfortunatly, it introduced new bugs:

• Pressing new clips while the transport is playing now create a new clip but stop the transport
• Tap tempo is not working anymore
• Sequencer is not showing the recorded notes like before, and the overdub is not always working

Let me know if you need more information to reproduce the issues.
All the best.
