DrivenByMoss: Bitwig extension for many hardware controllers (version 26.6.1)

[tmmk]

There is a comment in the Workflow section as follows.
"Change the scale and root note in the document settings."

How specifically can I change the scale and root note in "IN CONTROL" mode of SL MKiii?
Also, what do you mean by "document settings" here?

The options are only in the document settings and not on the device.
To see the document settings open the right hand pane, which contains also the browser and select the pane "Studio I/O" on the bottom.
Click the little arrow before the script name to reveal the document settings. These settings are stored with every project individually.

Thank you for your response.

I didn't know it was here!
I was able to set the scale and root on INCONTROL.
Thank you so much.

Best Regards,

I already had a go at it yesterday. The code is checked in if you want to test it. There are now extensions showing up for 1, 2 or 3 HUI devices. I tested it with my iCON and Novation SL MkIII, which have only a limited subset of HUI, so fingers crossed.

I've tested the HUI + 1 extender controller and it works flawlessly. Amazing! Thanks for all your hard work.

Hi there, I can't thank you enough for this extension, it is simply amazing! I'm a user of NIs Maschine MK3 controller and Ableton Live and your script will probably be the final push that makes me buy into a full Bitwig License (currently on 8-track).
I hope you are getting some love from the guys at Bitwig for you work, you deserve it!

That being said, I am dearly missing the feature of aftertouch / polypressure on the Maschine MK3, to get pressure expression modulation into Bitwig and most importantly make the arpeggiator change velocity by pressure like it does in the maschine software (and like your extension already does on the launchpad if I understand correctly)

(At first I thought something was wrong with my setup or there was some bug, because Strg+F-ing "aftertouch" in the Maschine Part of the DrivenByMoss Docs brought up a section in the preferences that doesn't show up on my end. Only today I realized that DBM currently doesn't support Aftertouch for Maschine MK3 )

May I ask if this is something you plan on including further down the road? Alternatively, if I would consider to implement that functionality myself, could point me to some good resources for getting started? (I feel comfortable with Javascript in the context of web, but have never done any controller scripting)

Hi,

An update on the HUI stuff with Yamaha mixers. I've noticed that the mixer is replying to the ping message. This ping reply makes it very hard to use the "Map to Controller or Key" function as Bitwig captures the ping reply and assigns it to the on-screen control. I assume it would be possible to capture the replies in the extension code so it doesn't get passed on. As a quick hack, I commented out the content of the sendPing in HuiControllerSetup.java which seems to work.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, it was simply missing. Will be fixed in the next update!

Up to my knowledge there is currently no way to block anything from the Bitwig MIDI mapping.

Hi Drivenbymoss
Any plan to adapt your script for Logic pro live loops ?
I currently can assign APC40 MKII to live loops but there are no lights feedback for the pads assigned.

No, absolutely not. If I cannot stand a DAW, it is Logic

Hi Moss,
I have some problems with flexi in Linux, I'm afraid. No matter what knob assignments I do, they are forgotten when I restart Bitwig. Also, the Load/Save function doesn't seem to work. It doesn't call up any dialog box to choose where to save. In fact, the Load/Save buttons don't seem to do anything.

I'm using openSUSE with Bitwig 3.3.7 and DrivenByMoss 11.7.3

The manual contains a bit of trouble shooting for that. However, it might not work for you since like Bitwig it is only supported on Ubuntu.

Yes, it says make sure Zenity is installed, but Zenity is already installed on my machine. Do you have any pointers?

On some Linux distributions it is not working but I have no idea why (and I cannot test them all).

Hi Jurgen,

So, I installed Ubuntu Studio 21.04, Bitwig 3.3.7 and DrivenByMoss 11.8.0. This time the dialogue box open to save/open a file (hurray), but the issue is it doesn't save anything. I make assignments, click 'save' choose a name and press save. However, it doesn't write anything to my home folder, so all assignments are lost. Can you please help?
