Just wanted to say thanks to @moss for your tutorial series.
First I wanted to get into controller scripting by looking at existing controller projects, but I was lost very quickly there.
Then I watched the first 5 videos of yours, setup a playground project on the side and followed along.
After that I understood enough to start something new from scratch and infer / look up the necessary information.
Of course, this is a deep rabbit hole and the learning curve becomes steeper now.
But you helped me to get on the road for that. Thanks!

Hello bitwigers, i have watched all these tutorials. Thanks Mr. Moos 
! I have understood that these videos are focused on HW controllers, right? Does anyone know or has some links and knowledge or documentation if it is possible to write some scripts to remote controll bitwig devices on a certain track like the Sampler or a Reverb and so on? What i want to do is having a controller device automatically feeding a sampler which currently clicked with samples and remote control key and bpm and stuff based on the file names i load into the sampler, etc.
Greetings and thanks,
Molli

You can use the API for anything, doesn't have to be a hardware controller or MIDI.Molli89 wrote: Mon Feb 03, 2025 12:07 pm Hello bitwigers, i have watched all these tutorials. Thanks Mr. Moos

But there are limitations, e.g. you don't get any access to devices except their remote control parameters. So, you will not be able to retrieve which samples are loaded in Sampler.
