Probably the best feature of Bitwig Connect is, for me, is the big knob that can change any parameter. However, I don’t need all the other stuff.
Is it possible to recreate this functionality using another controller?

Behringer X-Touch One maybe? It would run with the MCU script…

I added the feature to several of the controllers I support with DrivenByMoss and it is also available in Generic Flexi, so you can make it work with any controller.brownerthanu wrote: Mon Sep 15, 2025 3:06 pm Probably the best feature of Bitwig Connect is, for me, is the big knob that can change any parameter.

Awesome! I use your Push 2 script. Is it in that? What controllers have endless knobs? What kind of messages does the controller need to send so that the value increments / decrements instead of snapping to the absolute midi value that is sent by the knob?moss wrote: Tue Sep 16, 2025 11:15 am I added the feature to several of the controllers I support with DrivenByMoss and it is also available in Generic Flexi, so you can make it work with any controller.

Yes, on Push you can assign it to the Ribbon (see the DrivenByMoss manual).brownerthanu wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 1:01 amAwesome! I use your Push 2 script. Is it in that?

There too many controllers with relative knobs to name them all.

Can you assign it to the ribbon or jogwheel on NI MkIII keyboards?

No. As you might no, the Kontrol keybaords are state-based and you can only fill in data. I could replace the knobs function but this would need to be changed in the settings which would be pretty ugly. The ribbon could be an interesting idea, will add it to my (longaMUSEd wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 8:10 am Can you assign it to the ribbon or jogwheel on NI MkIII keyboards?

Makes sense. Is there a specific type of messages does that a relative knob sends? I’m guessing it’s different than 0-127?moss wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 7:24 am There too many controllers with relative knobs to name them all.

There are different variations how the relative movement is encoded in the 7-bit value. In Generic Flexi you can select the matching one for each knob.brownerthanu wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 10:29 amMakes sense. Is there a specific type of messages does that a relative knob sends?

What do you call it in the manual? I'm searching, but unsure what to look for?moss wrote: Tue Sep 16, 2025 11:15 am I added the feature to several of the controllers I support with DrivenByMoss and it is also available in Generic Flexi, so you can make it work with any controller.

Thanks for your help. I got it. Very cool! It appears as if the hover only works for Bitwig knobs, not in the plugin's GUI, correct?brownerthanu wrote: Thu Sep 18, 2025 12:54 amWhat do you call it in the manual?

It works with plugins as well (if they support it) but the difference is that you need to click on the knob/control element instead of only hovering over it.brownerthanu wrote: Thu Sep 18, 2025 11:39 amThanks for your help.
