Bitwig DAW control extension by Moss for Series II Keyboards

http://www.mossgrabers.de/Software/Bitwig/Bitwig.html

This is awesome - not sure if it works yet alongside my own template (which supports devices, this supports transport etc) - just testing now

Certainly the transport controls are working

 

It uses OSC so doesn't override my own script (in the KK repository in my sig under hardware) - so we can control DAW and devices now

In fact theoretically it looks like it would work even with no midi input selected (as in Live) but Bitwig won't allow that so I used the port 2

 

Tutorial video by Moss showing it all working - very cool



You can also use the jogwheel to directly record into each cell in the mix view

 

So having tested it thoroughly now this adds a level of deep integration in Bitwig that is almost identical to that in Live (only major difference seems to be in how clip recording is done but both can do it). The only thing missing from both templates is Device support (which is inexplicably also missing from the Logic deep integration). For now my scripts for Bitwig and Live add that but it would be nice to see something more polished (by someone who unlike me actually knows how to script lol) and better integrated come out in future.

 

Is it for Mk II only?

 

Yes, there's already one for the Mark 1

 

Yes, I see it but it appears to be only for Komplete Kontrol 1 software. Was wondering if there is one for MK I, Komplete Kontrol 2?

 

This is for the hardware - the software version is irrelevant, it loads both

 

O, I see. thank you!

 

Sorry I realise with hindsight that with KK2 (software) coincidentally coming out today the title could have been misread - I meant Series II Keyboards (so have edited it now). This enables integration in Bitwig for Series II Keyboards only, Series 1 keyboards already have that (regardless of whether they are loading KK1 or KK2).

 

Thought there would be more interest in this - full Bitwig deep integration - here now. I know lot's of people were asking for it, this is it.

 

Oh man, I'm so excited about this - Thank you sharing! Will you please help me troubleshoot why this is partially functional for me? Currently all functions seem to work except plug in lose focus when I navigate away from them like they should, but will not return when I navigate back. I've tried removing all other devices that use Moss' scripts or are Maschine devices to rule out conflict. I've updated KK firmware, drivers, OS (Win 10), Komplete (2.0) and Bitwig (2.3). I've tried running Bitwig as an Administrator. Removing, reinstalling the scripts and Extension. Disabled my Mackie controller that also uses MOss' script. Of note - when I re-assign or reset the controller in Bitwig, it does recognize the first KK Plug in and allows me to adjust the parameters. In fact when adding a new instrument it works as it should - but when I change tracks or navigate away, I cannot return to the Plug - In screen in KK. In fact, the plug in and browse buttons are disabled on the controller. Further, when I select instance there are no other instances recognized... Please help and thanks again for this!~

This has been updated by Moss to improve record functionality and a few fixes, doesn't fix the instance issue but this seems to be something NI or Bitwig can only address.

 

Wow updated again and this time it adds a brilliant 'flexi' script that allows you to map any KK button or knob to a DAW function including device control (so my crappy template is no longer needed!)

 

Fantastic !
Jürgen you are a HERO man

 

I exported a Flexi script setup to automap device params to the first page of 8 knobs and use the KK buttons to switch between the pages of a mapped device and also bringing up various functions - this works best when you also have setup devices to be controlled that way such as the ones in my repository of Bitwig devices:

Device repository

Buttons setup as follows

1 - Device Page <
2 - Device Page >
3 - Device <
4 - Device >
5 - Mixer panel
6 - Devices panel
7 - Notes panel
8 - Automation panel

The second page available of KK knobs is freely assignable (using learn)

 

This is updated to version 3 and added Keyboard Mark 1 support too.

Thanks Jürgen

 

Wish we had something like this for Studio One.

 

Just released a video, which explains how to make Bitwig work with multiple Komplete Kontrol instances.

 

OK that's nice - does the Identifier have to be the first param of the first page or can I move it lower down so as not to waste the first page of param slots?
