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

[Fenrok]

I am having issues with a brand new Push 3 on Windows 11 with Bitwig 6.0 official release (build date 3-10-2026) and DrivenByMoss 26.6.0. Info screen says "Firmware 1.0 Build 87, Board Revision 3, serial 37590487." This occurs. using usb-C power, as well as when using wall power.

1) Request: The row of buttons below the screen have too short of a time delay between "press" and "hold". Same for the Stop, Mute, and Solo buttons. My press frequently causes a hold action, and I'm finding it difficult to press so quickly on a squishy (non-clicky) button consistently. Can we adjust the timing of this, so it has to be held a little longer before registering as a hold?

2) Issue: Push 3 doesn't smoothly sliding DOWN in pitch across notes in MPE. It works smoothly going up in pitch, but it sounds like sliding over quantized frets when going down. This happens both in Chromatic and Scale mode. It does this both directions in Ableton in Scale mode, but it does not step in pitch when in Chromatic mode in Ableton. Can you fix the issue of sliding down in pitch in scale & Chromatic mode in Bitwig?

3) Request: Can we set a control for headphone and main output volume, at least in configuration? Ableton allows this to be set and tells the windows usb audio driver what to set the volume to. Ableton remembers the level. However, when manually setting the volume in the Audio driver window, the volume level is not remembered the next time I start Push and Bitwig. It is very loud when I first begin, and I have to reduce the level in the software, which requires menu diving.

BTW I love your integration! It's wonderful!!

Also, for anyone else struggling with MPE function inside Bitwig: make sure your track inspector is set to Channel All > Same and Pitch Bend Expression is set to -24/+24, if using scale pads. Jurgen explains this in his MPE by scale video, but I didn't realize this was required for pitchbend to work correctly. My linnstrument was working fine without that track setting.

Could anyone PLEASE help figure out this frustrating problem I have with my Push 3?
I have everything set up like in the video (pitchbend -24 to +24 and channel all-same)
When sliding to the middle of each pad, everything is working perfectly. It stays in the scale correctly.

Here is the problem:
As my finger gets to the left of the pad, the pitch is rising UP, not down. If I am moving left, the pitch is supposed to bend DOWN to the next note. I am so confused as to what could be causing this.

(I am using stock Bitwig synths.)

Please help me!

This will happen if PitchBend Down is set to a positive value in the software somewhere. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else would cause this.

First of... thank you moss for giving life to our ancient hardware!!! I have a small, but annoying puzzle with Akai APC mini mk1 which stopped blinking when pressed and waiting for play/rec. Is working in Driven v24, but not in v25 and v26 no blink with Bitwig 5 or 6.

Hey, thanks
I tried to find some setting like this, but I could not. I don't think it is this anyway, as the previous version (of the controller script) does not do it.

I am pretty sure it is not happening in Bitwig at all. If I show the on-screen keyboard (the touch one that shows the MPE expressions) and slide my finger to the left of a pad. I can hear the pitch bend up and also see the visual on the keyboard, the line moving to the right.

As the previous version does not do this, I think it must be some change in the controller script.

Hello Jurgen I hope you can read this.
I told you in the comments of a Youtube video of yours, that I had the intention to redact a parragraph with their corresponding graphs, hopefully to be located in DrivenByMoss User Guide, regarding the use of the Launchpad Pro Mk3 in Bitwig with your scripts.
My current Bitwig version is v5.0.11 so, which script might be best suitable in my case in order to have it correctly working?
DrivenByMoss-24.3.0-Bitwig.zip ?
or
DrivenByMoss-19.2.2-Bitwig.zip ?

My idea is to upgrade to v6.0 but after a while. Thanks.

Hopefully you figure it out. I was stumped a few days ago on this myself. One of the script versions in Fall of 2025 changed the Push MPE behaviour to bend along the scale of the pads displayed on the Push 3. I couldn't get it to bend past 1 semitone, until I followed his update video that makes you set each track's settings to "MIDI ALL -> SAME" AND click "Expression". THEN change pitch bend up to +24 and down to -24. I noticed if I changed the down to +24, it bends backwards.

Push 3 MPE is a lot more quirky than Linnstrument and Roli, or so it seems.

That's strange, because I can only set down to negative values.

Normally, this is the place to submit info on bugs for DrivenByMoss with Bitwig. However, it's been really quiet the last 3-4 weeks.

Hello, you could try in a Jurgen youtube video comment section. Better if it is a related topic one. I am luckier this way.

Here is the perfect place (or on GitHub if you want to be more formal).

I am afraid I am at the end of my wits with this. Until Ableton publishes a description of how this works exactly I cannot improve it.

3) Request: Can we set a control for headphone and main output volume, at least in configuration? Ableton allows this to be set and tells the windows usb audio driver what to set the volume to. Ableton remembers the level. However, when manually setting the volume in the Audio driver window, the volume level is not remembered the next time I start Push and Bitwig. It is very loud when I first begin, and I have to reduce the level in the software, which requires menu diving.

Sorry, no. That would mean to replicate their OS hardware integration which would be a lot of work.
