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

[joris.roling]

Hi Moss,

Do you have any plans to incorporate the Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control into your excelent DrivenByMoss extension?

Cheers,
Joris

No plans?

Since several people asked me about this, I just got in touch with them. They are a bit interested but not enough to send me a test device.

We as a community might join, and get you a Roto-Control. Would that help?

Who is in?

I just received my Electra One MkII, and your script for it is amazing!! I love being able to touch the knobs to change pages in BW mode AND the Plugin Preset mode.

I noticed one bug: in the Devices mode, when you go to the last bank of Device pages (if less than a full bank), it does not populated the 2nd column of device pages. Instead, it skips this column and places the 3rd device page in the 3rd column. It doesn't do this except for the last bank.

I also would like to request that you color code the faders of the device parameters to match the BW colors. It helps to match up the parameters quicker when looking back and forth.

Additionally, all types of Device pages (Preset, CLAP vendor-made, Device) are mixed together. Could you make an option to color code these or remove what's displayed? I don't use the CLAP vendor made pages (and I save preset default of my plugin presets to Device pages), because they're over-simplified. It just creates clutter on the Electra One. Otherwise, it's a great Device for programming RC mapped plugins within Bitwig.

This device has the most potential that I've seen of any.

Sorry for super basic question.

On Novation Launchpad Pro mk3 is it possible to have one clip playing and select another (or create new) clip and keep the old clip playing? So one clip keeps playing and you could sequence new clip without hearing it.

You can disable "Select clip/scene on launch" in the settings but you need to select the clip in Bitwig.

Would you be open to implementing a feature for the Launchpad Pro mk3 to select clip without launching it?
Maybe a long press? Or an option to use shift to select without playing (instead of alt trigger modifier) like in the native script?
Out of those two I'd prefer long press.

Some other devices using your script has that feature.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it.


HI Moss,

Using your script on the Icon Pro X and in Bitwig I can't seem to find a setting to make the jog wheel respond to the timeline quicker, it seems to wait like a bar before the playhead jumps to that position. Am I missing a setting or does one not exist for this behavior?

Thanks for reporting! It seems that the Parameter page buttons 2 and 5 somehow got flipped. The updated template will be in the next update. For the time being you can also fix this yourself by simply exchanging the 2 buttons in the editor.

I decided against it since then it would have to be consistent like this in all other modes as well.

I am afraid this information is not available. I only get a list of pages with no further info.

There was a reason why it is not working like this. Which I sadly forgot... Will put it on the long-list to check.

Thank you. I understand if it's not possible and out of your control. If that's the case I'll start badgering the Bitwig people.

Hallo Jürgen, Do you saw that the Nektar CS 12 - formerly only for Logic is now updated to be Cubase compatible ?

Maybe you can do some hack for Reaper - like you did with the Akai Fire... ?

[Fenrok]

Thank you for your reply about Electra One. I will fix the issue in my editor.

Hi Moss,

I was trying to figure out what version I have, I finally realised that the date is at the top of the manual and I matched that up with the date on your site. But could I kindly request that the version number is put at the top of the manual going forward too so when we press the question mark in Bitwigs settings, there's zero doubt about what version is running?

Keep up the great work btw, I wish you would do a Nekata Panorama script, that would be killer and no doubt have zero flaws like it does now.

Bitwig support is right on this. If you want to record CC automation(!) use a simple script which simply tells the Bitwig API to forward MIDI CC.
If you want to use it with Generic Flexi, you could use it with MIDI CC devices.

Thank you, I appreciate the answer and all your work on this!

Nektar has normally very good DAW support. Did you ask them if they work on Reaper support?

There are 2 simpler ways:
1. Scroll to the bottom and select to add the extension manually, Bitwig then shows the author and version at the left bottom:

2. Open the manual and check the changes list. The top most version is the current one.

Hi Moss,

Can you tell me how to turn off my push showing the chord playing when I'm in device mode?
It keeps taking over the display for knobs 7 & 8 of the plugin I'm controlling in bitwig. It should be showing the same parameters as on my Nektar Panorama
