Help a newbie in regard to Bitwig Script issue

[thomba]

Hi,

I have an idea towards what I want to achieve. But oddly, strangely, pathetically I am struggling with a basic issue. I can not get Bitwig even load my controller script. I have been through everything and can not find the fault.

Can anyone help?

The following is just a test set-up, so do not be surprised.
So inside this folder C:\Users\name\Documents\Bitwig Studio\Controller Scripts
I have a folder C:\Users\name\Documents\Bitwig Studio\Controller Scripts\ThomPlayground
Inside which there is a document: ThomPlayground.control.js
With the following content (again; just for testing purposes)


loadAPI(17);

host.defineController(
"ThomPlayground", // MUSS exakt dem Ordnernamen entsprechen
"Thom Playground", // Anzeigename in Bitwig
"0.1",
"8e1f37a8-6b3d-4c90-9b2d-PLAYGROUND01",
"Thom Barath"
);

host.defineMidiPorts(0, 0);

function init() {
println(" Thom Playground loaded!");
}
function exit() {
println(" Bye Thom!");
}
function flush() {}


To me that looks fine, but obviously it can not be?
It just does not come-up in the controller environment of Bitwig.

Can anyone spot the issue?


Thanks

I hope you figured this out but this is the problem:

"8e1f37a8-6b3d-4c90-9b2d-PLAYGROUND01" you need a real UUID.

if you want to get a really NICE looking UUID. You can find one in a searchable list here: https://everyuuid.com/
