Hi all, I'm new to audio (and bitwig), so my questions is very basic. If I pick (an OSC-)Controller in setting, I can add a controller I want, but dropdown input stays on 'none'. What's happening? I'm on Win10. Bitwig 8-track (but same problem in Studio demo) I installed the OSC-plugin, but that doesn't seem to help either. I tried Generic Midi, as well as OSC. Could it be the audio settings? WASAPI nor ASIO4Allv2 seem to make a difference. I con't get the same 'audio interface' dialogue as in a lot of example videos. Does anyone have suggestions? I'm a bit lost in the large forest of audio... The audio engine is activated. I tried running a Processing Sketch spamming constant OSC-messages solo-ing track1 and 'detect available controllers'. Context: My 1st year undergraduate multimedia students are creating their own Controller with Arduino. As an exam exercise I figured it would be nice if they have a small sound-battle. The goal is to read OSC messages and have them control some live audio. They have different operating systems, so I came to Bitwig 8 Track version. They are studying art&technology, so sooner or later they would need to manipulate (live) audio and video and using Bitwig seems a valuable introduction to a professional DAW. But the threshold can't be too high, as the audio-battle really should be the fun part (& not the install-fest-super-high-learning curve). It should work with a laptop only, no external sound card. Since they study programming as well, I found the script-installing appealing, because it shows them their possibilities. |
I haven't used OSC with Bitwig yet, but it can be tricky that there is no standards for namespaces or parameters. So a controller connected to your computer needs to be sending messages the way the OSC script expects. Most Arduino controllers I have seen use Firmata, and then some other program on the host computer uses something like Max or Pd to translate Firmata activity into easily mappable OSC messages. It takes a faster-than-usual Arduino to handle multiple high-resolution messages in real-time. But since most hosts are limited to 7-bit MIDI resolution anyway that's easier to deal with. I recently discovered this project for Arduino with direct OSC I/O, and am still trying to understand it: https://github.com/CNMAT/OSC ETA: I don't have any javascript experience, but there are some javascript Firmata-parsing packages out there. I don't know how compatible those might be with the Bitwig controller API, but that's probably the best option. answered Aug 12 '18 at 02:35 by MCMiller (11) edited Aug 12 '18 at 03:05 |
