A collection of my Bitwig extensions

1. You're not clever.
2. Distributed systems rule #1: Do not distribute the system!. At some point of scale this is often unavoidable, but be aware of the complexity that comes with a distributed system.
3. Do not micro optimize.
4. Measure where your program spends time.
5. Optimization rule #1: Reduce I/O.
6. Should I use a distributed cache? Only if you are aware of the error cases and how to mitigate them!

7. A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. Gall's Law

Inspired by Rob Pike's 5 Rules of Programming.

bitwig-extensions's Issues

In the deprecated repository bitwig-edirol-pcr: add the DEPRECATED warning to the readme

I would create this issue at the klingtnet/bitwig-edirol-pcr repo, but it's archived.

That deprecated repo is still the first google result when searching for "roland pcr controller script bitwig".
I overlooked the deprecation warning in the "About" section on the side. Only when I had troubles building the java project, I realized that it has been deprecated in favor for this repo here.
I think it would be good, to add the deprecation info from the about section to the README of the deprecated repo as well.

Thank you for this controller script, great work!

Recording doesn't work with cc mode on?

Love that you're working on this!
I tried it out and found that I can't record any notes played with the pad when CC mode is on (after pad remapping). Any idea?

akai midimix crash when using potmeters

Hi,

I've tried using your midimix extension with Bitwig 2.4.3 and 2.5 on Linux but it crashes (with error -6) as soon as i touch a potentiometer.

Maybe I am doing something wrong and you can give me advice,
or maybe your extension only works with older Bitwig versions?

Thanks,
Ron

What are Edirol Sustain + Modulation mapped to

Hi, thanks for the extension, it's working nicely with my PCR-800.

Might I ask what the intended function of the pedal inputs being passed to UserControlBank is?

I see the API lists it as

"Instances of this interface represent a bank of custom controls that can be manually learned to device parameters by the user."

But I'm still not sure what it's supposed to be doing.

I'm trying to alter the extension so it behaves like the Generic Keyboard controller, passing sustain, expression and modulation when selecting different tracks.

cheers

Mapping of knobs on Midimix

Hello, I am about to take delivery of a new Akai Midimix, and I have been researching scripts to drive it. My ideal arrangement is to have the sliders as track volumes but to have each set of buttons for a track to control the FX Send amount. Is this something that would be easy to achieve using your script, either using the pre-supplied bwextensiom or by modifying the source code?
