I got their new plugin today. It's a granular timeshifting stuttering stretching affair. It looks like a lot of (possibly unusable) fun, like their other plugins, but does not list Bitwig as a supported DAW. When using with Bitwig I could only trigger using the mouse. The instructions say it should trigger with midi keys.
Has anyone else tried it yet in another DAW who can explain how it behaves there?

My goodness that promo video is amazing.

I will give it a try (I'm also on Bitwig).

Seems to be working fine over here. When I first started it, there was a finger on the right side that "allowed" me to touch the screen and once I did the interface appeared with the dials and all. Upon re-opening the plugin, I am presented by the interface with the knobs and dials right away.

Really cool first impression. Like all their stuff, really. And the artwork is really amazing.

I was struggling getting automation working in Reaper then noticed a paramter called ENTER Portal, which had to be turned on using automation

I still have no idea what attack and release do

It appears that in Bitwig, if I use it as an insert, the automation retriggers with every note, that's a bit annoying. So maybe better to be used as a send.

That was unexpected, will check it out for sure.

edit.
OK, at the first glance it seems to be one of their least useful plugins, though it is a bit of fun to use the randomize function (labelled as "f**k me up" lol) and see what kind of insane noise it outputs. The UI really deserves a resize option.

I didn't really like it triggering on every note and apparently randomizing parameters either. In Bitwig you can insert a channel filter device to stop it, but... eh. not my favorite among the Freakshow stuff.

I bought it instantly. Seems like a little bit of a performance aspect to dragging the eyeball around.
Anyway, I use their stuff quite a lot myself, its all just too cool.

I was using it on a sample track and then converted that to a hybrid track, but without any difference in operation. For this use case it looks like I might have to manually use and record to an output track. Or perhaps channel the audio into a track and use midi on the new track to effect the incoming audio.
