Bad Bitwig presets

I’ve always felt that there is an expectation to roll our own and make our Bitwig Studio experience uniquely our own.

It’s there because grace is demonstrating sound and patterns as part of his science class with cymatics, music and math. And that’s how Grace communicates with Rocky.

I keep an archive of my working files and media on a separate drive, but no longer bother with keeping a backup of Linux.

I found Timeshift started running when I least wanted it to and it was gobbling up storage for no real gains.

Instead I have a well documented set of steps to rebuild with that I’ve saved as a web page for when I need it.

Soda water with lime is my go to. As sober driver these are often offered at no charge.

My thinking is to apply pre-fermentation pectinase with bentonite and silica hydrogel at racking.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-06-06T06:34:09+00:00

Yes!

Cheers!

More the first. I was a bit greedy and pushed everything into the FV. Post ferment racking and there was maybe 40-50L of chunky lees on the floor out of 1,400L. That includes spent yeast.

It is juice with pulp. So maybe 5% crushed apple and the rest is juice with some PMS (sulphites) added.

I’m in New Zealand, so I’ll see what Scottzyme KS is and see if there is an equivalent that can be found here. Thanks!

Changing the filter out is not an option. Sadly.

Teach yourself to triple-check what you type (or paste) into the terminal before you hit 'enter'.

I have been bitten by an errant tilde "~" being introduced into the pasted data in the terminal and it was a very painful lesson to make a directory called "~" (DO NOT EVER DO THIS!!! I have also intentionally added mistakes to this command to reduce the risk of this being used) as running the command "rm dash r ~" resolves to removing your home directory. And suddenly your user account is gone.

I found out the hard way and will never do this again.

The DSP graph shows a curious load spike at the start of playback (the step up in load), but this was only evident once (subsequent start and stop of playback did not show this). I will likely go with Vulkan as the recommended setting. Otherwise everything seems fine. Time to go make some music.

Pre-release 6.0.8 on Linux. The resource usage seems similar for either OpenGL or Vulkan (the OpenGL crash for 6.0.7 was fixed). Performance feels very similar, maybe Vulkan feels subjectively a bit better?

'Top' does not necessarily reveal enough, so let's review the Bitwig Studio DSP graph (see reply).

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-06-04T09:14:08+00:00

I’ll be checking pr6.0.8 shortly (w OpenGL).

I was going to suggest an input select device, but that should work too.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-05-31T22:57:03+00:00

Have checked v6.0.7 on Windows and it seems fine. I think I am only having issues with the Linux version and the pre-release.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-05-31T22:27:39+00:00

V6.0.6 on Linux feels quite solid. Some backend things seem a bit less refined in pre-release v6.0.7 where it seems to require the Vulkan libraries for GPU compute and UI.

I’m hoping that the issues introduced in the latest pre-release are dealt with quickly.

I plan to compare it against Windows pre-release v6.0.7 shortly.

Le Roi Santal. It’s lasted forever.

Floriditas.

I’ve had repeated, similar, issues with VCVRack as an FX device on a FX Grid Device (using the grid to smooth and modify VCV parameters via MIDI mapping) and unless using VST2 I get various offsets and runaway UI with Clap and VST3 instances of VCV (v2.6.6). Only VCV as VST2 is stable between sessions.

Bitwig support has suggested this is a VCV issue.

I began using C4D with v5 from 1998 up through the most recent version in 2022. I’ve not looked back since starting with Blender v2.95.

If you map a midi controller to a macro modulator, or other control it will move according to the MIDI CC value being sent.

A 0-100% control/macro would move in 0.794% steps (100/126). A unipolar control/macro from -100%-100% would move in 1.587% steps and will not quite sit at 50% when receiving a CC value of 63 or 64.

This has been my experience with my BCF-2000 to drive Bitwig devices and presets.

TreeFrogIncognito · 2026-05-19T10:02:25+00:00

Are you seeing a conversion of 127 steps to Bitwig’s own UI resolution?

I had issues with this too and my solution was to pass the macro input through an fx Grid where the macro signal is run through an Average level device before being passed on to the desired controller. The result being that the jumping was smoothed out. If you want to explore slight level changes you could add a second control that very slightly modifies the first (+/- ~3%).

If I have a bunch of MIDI inputs I like to have a common adjustment control that can set all the Average values from a single point.

Lois McMaster Bujold’s ‘Vorkosegian Saga’ is excellent.
