[poll]How tree-like track structure should be mapped to a controller?

[lem8r]

At the moment (BWS 1.3.6) controller script can't fold/unfold group tracks due to API limitation. Moreover group can be inside other group which can be inside other group and so on.

So there is a problem how to map complex tree-like track structure to a flat controller (usually 8 ) track structure.

Currently there are two major ways to do it, both with own limitations.

• Flat - all tracks are mapped to controller as if all groups are unfolded. It is ok until you fold some group in gui but form controller's point of view it still will be unfolded.
• Siblings - only tracks of current group/level are mapped to controller. It is ok if you enter inside a group from gui or keep child groups closed. Also navigation inside outside groups possible, FX tracks inside group mapped correctly. See pic

When API will be updated and controller script will be able to track/modify state of group tracks there will be ability to map track structure exactly as displayed on GUI.

Hi !
Group API is a huge missing of Bitwig, and I really reaaaaaaally need for my live project.
If I understand, siblings mode will take all first groups and launch them ?
For example , I've got 8 groups in my project :

The first one contains all my kicks on differents tracks. So when I launch the first group from my first 8x8 launchpad/Wathever controller it will launch my first clip ?

The second group has all of my synths on differents tracks. As the first group with my kicks, the second will launch all my synths.
Here is a picture :
