No matter how much I try, somehow Bitwig doesn´t really click with me/lacks too much normal DAW features I am used to...

Nonetheless I really dig Bitwigs Note FX, especially
Note Repeats... Cuts basically incoming long notes into multiple new ones including Euclidian...
Quantize... realtime Quantizer (synced to DAW) with multiple chooseable divisions (delays incoming notes until the next "quantized" position
Dribble ... ball bouncing system where everytime the "ball" hits the floor a new note is created...can be heavily adjusted how fast and often...
Ricochet... Atari "astroids middle spaceship fire system" which fires as many "balls" against adjustable wall shapes, which are again bouncing to other walls and create a new note each time they hit a wall...
Ttogether they are great for creating new rhythms, especially because of Quantize...

Is there any replacement of these in VST land??? Perhaps some modular Midi mangling system which can combine similar modules in a chain?

The actual clou of them is the realtime processing... means no step sequencer kind of thingie but taking incoming notes with their attributes (Pitch etc...) processing them in realtime...

most of those are inspired by Max4Live devices.

I would need something DAW independent, but thx anyway...

I think this will get you some of the way, but of course somewhat different than Bitwigs Notefx's.

On the other hand it is free, so maybe worth checking out. There is also other plugins from this developer you might find useful.

Did you consider using Bitwig in parallel and routing the MIDI from the end of the bitwig device chain into your chosen DAW? This is pretty simple with the IAC driver on macos, and there are solutions for inter-app MIDI communication for other platforms.

It´s actually a nice idea ...just a tad too expensive just for using some few midi plugins though

...or use Bitwig to do the sound design, export the audio stems and import into another DAW. I sometimes do that because I feel more at home mixing in Cubase.

I use this one for euclidian rythm, it is quite good:

Reason studio is a mine of excellent midi players... you can use it NOT as a DAW but as a VST (Aka REASON RACK PLUGIN).

UVI Falcon is also full of midi players that are very near the spirit of bitwig with physical balls falling and all.
I dont know if you can route outside falcon but I would think so...

Replacing Bitwig´s note fx outside of Bitwig (VST)??
