I am trying to write a script that will let me send midi CC's to an OB-8. I want to use the controller so I can throttle the midi and not crash the vintage synths processor. For the life of me I can't get this script (or any script I downloaded from the internet to test) to appear in the bitwig controllers Hardware Manufactures pulldown menu. I have tried making a subfolder with the name "company" and putting the script in there. I have tried just putting the .js file in the controllers folder. I have tried on both mac and pc. There must be something I am missing. Please help me with my inept implementation !! Thanks

var midiOut;
var midiQueue = [];

Oh I figured out I need to create a "New Project" under the HELP > Documentation section which seems a strange place to initiate something!! Forgive me. this is only day two. I will have a million silly questions
