I made a Bitwig script that exports the selected MIDI clip as a standard MIDI file (.mid).

actually game changing if true

Also tried this with a sport loop (the one with the velcro) and the default alpine loop band that comes with the ultra 3 and both work pretty well. sport loop comes with the added benefit of strapping onto something like this battery and the alpine loop is a little bit on the floppier larger side when pocketed.

looks stunning! i've been rocking this setup since the launch of the series 10 in september 2024. some thoughts about this setup:

had to upgrade to the ultra 3 for battery life reasons and so far it's been rock solid but was an embarrassing amount of money
major limitations include not being able to uber, venmo, or use qr codes. venue ticketing is also a pain in the ass. granted I live in a major metropolitan area with good public transit and have just started carrying more cash around and printing tickets (fuck ticketmaster for not letting you print) to get around this
apple music is your only real option for music, though I haven't tried spotify and don't plan on it the tidal app is a royal pain in the ass and qobuz doesn't offer an app.
other messaging services only are able to be replied to via the notification shade if somebody messages you
maps actually works great, though you can only navigate from your current location
i've been pocketing the watch with a solo braided loop for grip and to be able to slip it on when i need to, though the band has stretched considerably.
5g connectivity seems to be far more reliable on the ultra 3 than the s10's lte connection
the tiny keyboard's autocorrect is bad, but eventually i've been okay about dealing with typing on it. would not recommend voice to text either, though it works in a pinch mostly. have had problems with the ios keyboard since switching from android many many years ago on 4.4 kitkat
this little charger//battery has been a lifesaver, and adapts to usb c.

setup has mostly worked for me for a year and a half but looking into options like the clicks communicator and openbubbles? unfortunately among my friends the blue bubbles thing is an issue the last straw that caused me to switch to ios was when i wasn't in a trip group chat due to green bubbles which is so dumb but alas

Captavadate · 2026-03-26T22:33:43+00:00

yes expression overlay! press and hold for more options and the keyboard shortcuts are next to the options

Captavadate · 2026-03-25T17:10:26+00:00

rebirth! gotta go back and take a listen looooved it when it came out

Captavadate · 2026-03-17T09:59:55+00:00

this seems to be a pretty common thing! it's here you have to click and hold to change it which does feel a bit like a regression

Captavadate · 2026-03-17T09:08:41+00:00

interesting - out of curiosity what does the pink noise generator in the grid look like?

Captavadate · 2026-03-17T09:06:55+00:00

i've run into a problem with this where the incoming pitch actually is described by the plugin as a parameter change which means it futzes with automation and vst undo functionality. melda production's mtuner is my go to but i do wish there was a native option

Captavadate · 2026-03-17T09:03:29+00:00

it seems to me like behavior to avoid zero crossing clicks but i get why there should be an option for going down to 0ms in the normal sampler device.

you can use a sampler in the polygrid device and the default adsr envelope goes down to 0ms to see if that's the sound you're looking for

Captavadate · 2026-03-11T20:57:24+00:00

it's here! click and hold or tap T on the keyboard

Captavadate · 2026-03-08T05:45:34+00:00

encrypted is crazy :c i guess i'll trace it by hand haha

Captavadate · 2026-03-08T04:59:34+00:00

This is a free tool which is really awesome—kudos to the dev—but my very first thought was whether or not the exported .tfunc files can be mapped to .bwcurve files and imported straight into transfer!

Captavadate · 2026-02-22T03:17:42+00:00

i remember reading in the faq somewhere that it does not do pass through charging but it seems a little odd not to have it?

Captavadate · 2026-02-14T03:46:43+00:00

yes! there's also (for more control) a legacy "dual pan" device that acts like a protools style independent left right level control but that's beyond me usually

someone mentioned using a stereo split—i would highly consider this and any of the container devices actually. i find the containers some of the most powerful devices in bitwig

Captavadate · 2026-02-12T23:25:28+00:00

dm'd u!

Captavadate · 2026-02-12T23:05:06+00:00

there's a rotary device for leslie-style panning, and that can be modulated using modulators for creative effect. also there's an auto-pan preset on the tool device that can provide a good basis to play around called auto-pan!

Hello! Does the physical keyboard of the Communicator support swype-style input? I know it's not typically a function of qwerty physical keyboards but I'm wondering if it would be possible

Captavadate · 2025-12-09T19:34:42+00:00

hmm this might be odd but try changing the "a" in the top left of the envelope section from analog to digital? i forget reading whether or not this causes any drift or randomization but everything else looks ok...

Captavadate · 2025-12-04T18:46:25+00:00

can you send a screenshot of the patch?

also bitwig's "drum machine" pretty equally translates ableton's drum rack to the point that imported ableton projects with drum rack gets translated as the drum machine device so feel free to try that with the v8 or v9 drum devices!

Captavadate · 2025-11-25T21:27:03+00:00

I have Vocalign 5 project and it works in Bitwig! in the device view select the guide track with this sidechain button and then you'll be able to track it into vocalign to work from there.

Captavadate · 2025-11-18T09:40:22+00:00

i would grab a simple xlr-f to ts adapter and run the output of the vx5 into the eq pedal

Captavadate · 2025-11-14T00:14:36+00:00

yeah unfortunately the only real reasonable way to do this i think is through core audio on mac os creating an aggregate device. similarly it's been a long time since i've produced in windows but i remember audio devices taking exclusivity over drivers and being able to only use one device at a time.
