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

[moss]

Yay! Works great, thanks!
But if I close the Bitwig it selected Function's device becomes "off"
Any ideas why?

I guess you didn't save it? See the manual or watch the Generic Flexi tutorials.

Moss, actually I was expecting the same behavior as in Bitwig - you don't have to "save" anything, since there is no "save" button anywhere. Ok, will check the manual. Also Type/Number is actually saved so it's kinda weird UX if you ask me

[Tj Shredder]

Bitwig can only save what it knows about. It can‘t know how you set up Flexi...
If Bitwig would hire Moss and integrate it into the main application it could be made possible... Actually they should do that... Moss is responsible for a lot of sales. Not only Bitwig sales - I bought an Akai Fire because of his scripts...

I'm not saying bitwig should do it. I mean Bitwig has behavior X. So plugins should have the same behavior.
So why not just save by default on change? Instead of pressing "Export" every time?

BTW Moss, really thanks. If I can support development by donation or something like - it would be great.

I wanted to point out that Moss cannot do it, as that has to be done by Bitwig. He isn't coding Bitwig itself, just scripts for Bitwig. He also can't fix Bitwig bugs for the same reason... He is not a Bitwig employee, just a private hero...

Just saying that autosave is not bitwig feature but thing Moss could do

That's how it worked before, which meant to have all 200 slots visible all the time and scroll 5 minutes till you reach the additional settings. Watch the first Generic Flexi video.

Moss,

Thank you for your earlier response. I have since installed the demo of 3.2.8 to give the latest version of the Driven By Moss script a try.

Am I correct that the script is *not* intended to control Bitwig devices AND instances of Komplete Kontrol in the same Bitwig project? Should I be able to do so without any issues? I am able to control Bitwig very well from the s25, but once I load an instance of Komplete Kontrol, the s25 starts displaying the wrong information (Komplete Kontrol information when I am on a track with Bitwig Sampler, for instance) and the browser key launches both the Bitwig AND Komplete Kontrol browsers regardless of whether I am on a track that has a Bitwig instrument or an instance of Komplete Kontrol. Those are just two problems.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, even if the advice is that it is not advisable to try and control Bitwig devices and Komplete Kontrol in the same Project.

The Kontrol Mk1 extension uses low level USB access and therefore cannot be used with the Komplete plugin. Advantage is to have all the info in the displays and Linux support. If you need the Komplete support use the Bitwig stock script but has only a very limited feature set.

How so? Sorry, but I don't see connection between autosave and 200 slots.
Now I select a file and press export. Can it be done automatically somewhere in ~/Library/Application Data/?

The answer I didn't want to hear, but the answer I was looking for, Moss. Thank you very much. And, of course, thanks again for your work. We are lucky to have your script.

HI sir
Can you please explain how pinning devices (tracks) on the fire work with your script? I tried using user mode 2 and assigning a control but did not see any difference with pinning the device vs unpinning

User Mode 2 is for user parameters which are not related in any way to the cursor / pinned device.
Use User Mode 1, which controls the cursor device which can be pinned.
