Bitwig Studio Controllerscript for SoftStep2

Nikolaus Gradwohl2018-11-30T07:10:56+00:00

I wrote a Bitwig Studio Control-Script for the KMI Softstep2. This script switches the Softstep 2 into hostmode and controls it directly, so no presets have to be stored on the board itself and no host program has to be running - this also means that the script runs on linux machines, it only uses the usb-midi interface to control the Softstep.

To install it download the zip file and unpack it into the Controller Script folder of bitwig like described in the controller script installation guide

the source code is available in my github repository

Softstep2

This control-script is based on the python program Foococo by Matthieu Amiguet. Many thanks for figuring out how to switch the Softstep into hostmode and controling the Screen

A Bitwig-Studio Controller Script for Yamaha MX49 and MX61 (Version2)

Nikolaus Gradwohl2016-10-20T07:51:25+00:00

I made an update to my bitwig mx49/61 controller script. I finally worked out how the cubase plugin controlls the text that is displayed on the lcd by tracing through huge piles of captured systex messages using a hex editor.

The new version can be Downloaded on my github page

to install it unzip the files to the "Bitwig Studio/Controller Script"-Folder

Now the script displays the name of the current device when you switch it.

Then the labels of the macro knobs are shown in the display. If a macro is unassigned the knob is shown as "disabled" on the display

bitwig device

mx61 display

bitwig device

mx61 display

as in the previous version I have

mapped the 4 knobs to macro 1-4 on page 1

to macro 5-8 on page 2

and to volume, pan, send1 and send2 of the selected channel on page 3

"AddInst Track" creates a new Instrument Track

and "VSTi Window" opens the device browser.

Have fun!
