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

[moss]

I'm using config.json which adds a new item Copy Device ID to Clipboard to the context menu of devices and also to the context menu of handles devices Copy Parameter to Clipboard Could you add new addresses to OSC for all devices built into Bitwig based on this data? Using Polysynth /device/a9ffacb5-33e9-4fc7-8621-b1af31e410ef/F1FREQ as an example, it looks not good for OSC, device/polysynth/f1freq looks better. It would be great to manage the entire device not through remote controls, but on TouchOSC screen directly.
Hope you consider this idea!

My TODO list is quite long and OSC is currently not in the focus

Interesting idea. The main problem is that you need to request to receive such data on startup of the extension, which means you somehow would need to configure which devices and parameters you want to receive (and I try to stay away from configuration files).

For the Launchpad mini mk3, would it be possible to, whenever a background of white pads are mostly filling the space, to not have them so bright ? Like for instance in the Play Scale mode. When used in dim lighting they come across way too bright.

I am not aware of any option to dim the pads.

Or maybe instead have them of colour grey.

Regarding the LaunchControl XL mk2 send knobs becoming unresponsive in Mix and Layer mode, I haven't pinpointed yet the exact sequence to produce it but each time it happens I toggle the script off/on and they become responsive again. The LaunchControl firmware is up to date.

All the best to everybody for 2023 and in particular thanks to Moss for the great Flexi script! Love it, endless possibilities! There are two things I cannot figure out and would appreciate any hints:

- I cannot get my controller's endless encoders to work for scrolling the columns in the pop-up browser. They work perfectly (set to Offset Binary in the options) for the other modes like Volume and Parameter control, but when the popup Browser is open, turning them only scrolls down, never up. (Controller is a Behringer X-Touch Mini.) Is there anything I can/need to configure to make them work as intended?

- the script does not reinitialize to the previously selected mode. I have Parameter Mode selected, but when reopening, it starts with Volume mode (but still shows Parameters as selected in options).

Thanks a lot for any helpful hints you might have!!

PS Don't know if that is relevant - I can configure my controller's encoders to either send 1 for inc, 127 for dec OR 65 for inc, 63 for dec (this is what I currently use) OR 1 for inc, 65 for dec.

Hi folks, just bought an APC Mini Mk2, but it seems that it needs special treatment, does not work as APC Mini Mk1 device (instead of clip start it is in note mode, faders work but not the select buttons what to fade eg for pan/volume/sends).

Is it planned to support Mk2?

Hi, is it possible to easily switch between Bitwig and Ableton Live using Push2?

If you mean running both in parallel. No.

I noticed that the scroll filter functions crash. But since you did not experience this crash I guess you did select the wrong function. You need "scroll filter" not "select next".
The crash will be fixed in the next update.

- the script does not reinitialize to the previously selected mode. I have Parameter Mode selected, but when reopening, it starts with Volume mode (but still shows Parameters as selected in options).

Thanks for reporting, will be fixed in the next update.

Hello Moss! Somehow I wrote to you on YouTube in the comments under one of the videos about what would not be bad in Flexy to add the ability to switch device presets without opening the browser, you asked me back then where I saw this. I saw it in Panorama P1, P4 and in the old TouchOSC preset for Bitwig. I recorded a video demonstrating how it works I also want to see this in OSC. /device/preset/{+-}

Ah, I see. Totally forgot about the functions. These were deprecated with the introduction of the Popup browser and should not be used anymore (not sure if they work at all).

As you can see they work!!! ))

Nevertheless, since they are deprecated they can be removed without further notice.

Hi Jürgen!
Awesome work. Thanks for keeping the updates coming for us Launchpad folks.

Some bugs I have encountered with 18.5 on my Launchpad X (Windows 10, Bitwig 4.4.6):
1) The 'Arranger record' and 'Overdub launcher clips' buttons don't function anymore. Pressing them shows the info label but no action occurs in Bitwig.
2) Unsure if this is by design, but changing the 'New clip length' works for the Shift Menu -> New Clip, but not when double-clicking in the clip launcher to create a new clip, nor does it apply to a clip by creating a new clip in session view. Bitwig's default 1 bar clip is added. That is not a big deal, but ideally pressing the buttons for 'New clip length' on the Launchpad should influence the 'delay' (of 'Post recording action / delay' in Bitwig's Play menu) so length limits can be set when recording a new clip.

Steps I've taken to try to fix the problem:
- Removing and re-adding the Launchpad X controller.
- Loading a new project.

Happy new year to All!
