Hi Jürgen,

Versions: 12.2.1 and 12.2.2
What: OSC controller script
Bitwig Version: 4 b1 and b2 (haven't tested on v3)
Error: CC xy should be handled in framework... on all CCs (CCs 1 and 11 are passed through to Bitwig, despite generating the error, the other CCs I've been trying aren't passed through by the script)

Using the Keyboard +8 Device Knobs (cc20-27) script with the same MIDI input all CCs (even outside the 20-27 range) are passed through fine, just not OSC controls of course.

Am I assuming correctly that the intention of the OSC script is to also allow MIDI CCs?

Any advice?

Thank you
Markus

Hello, do you know if a bitwig script exists for the nanokey studio? it would be great ! thanks

The OSC extension is for OSC not MIDI. The MIDI input is only required to get MIDI messages into Bitwig for playing notes or controllers with the /vkb_midi/* commands (this is a workaround for an API limitation). Best is to use a virtual MIDI ports which is not used by anything else.

Hi Jürgen,
first I have to say I love the Bitwig extensions. So far it works great.
However, I have a somewhat odd question in regard to my Novation Launchpad Mini MK3. I am looking to achieve the following:

Instead of having to KEEP the SHIFT button pushed down, I would like to press it once, and than the Launchpad goes and stays in the shift-modus so I can than afterwards select one of the additional functionalities. (Or alternatively pressing it once again the Launchpad goes back into the modus I was before if I do not select any additional functionalitiy).

I know this is a strange request but for the project I am working on I can not keep the button pressed down. Is there any way for me to modify the controller script? Or does anybody know a workaround?

I appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Not so strange. Will be put it on the wishlist but no promises.

Hi Moss,
I am planning to buy a controller with led ring encoders (like the midi fighter twister or the behringer xtouch mini).
I was wondering if using them with your generic flexi would work as expected. Particularly, will the current value of a parameter controlled by an encoder will update the led ring?
Also do you have any experience with the Faderbox EC4? The current values are displayed on a lcd screen, but I suppose it follows the same protocol as the led ring?
Thank you in advance for your input,
All the best

If you can trigger the LED ring with the same MIDI CC that it sends, yes.

Also do you have any experience with the Faderbox EC4?

No.

Yes.

Thank you Moss for taking the time to answer.

Yes that is indeed the big "if"
I guess I will buy one of those and try what I can do with it, and send it back if it does not work.
Cheers.

Hey Jürgen,

I'd love to see toggle for the shift button as well. On push 1 I should add.
On my DJ-Mixer the solution is pretty nice. When you press the button just for a small moment it toggles the function (e.g. cue or fx on). When holding the button for a longer time (>~500ms) the function is activated momentarily. So actually it's similar to repeat or scales on push if I remember correctly.

I don't know what I'd do without your extension. Probably trying to learn java to have some rudimentary functions in the end.

So thank you very much for your great work.

Out of curiosity: Are you in any way connected with bitwig? As in, do they pay you? I think they should, since you add so much functionality to the software. Without your extension many people wouldn't dare switching to bitwig.

Yeah, that's the idea I had too.

No. And this is how I want it to be
