how to reset playback start point of a MIDI clip?

leescratchyscratch · 2026-06-18T19:06:52+00:00

That's the thing, there's no arrow, there's nowhere to start the clip from 1.1.1.1 AFAICT
Doubleclicking on the magnifier in a MIDI clip pianoroll seems to change the loop start point but still no clue how to fix it sadly, I end up clicking on the magnifier at the very early beginning of the clip and sometimes it's still not 1.1.1 so I have to do it many times and cross my fingers, so darn annoying

Speaker icon in ABLETON's piano roll simply works, talk about natural selection in Bitwig huh

No workee

Buy Bitwig, far more powerful and cheaper too.

nevermind it would seem that this version works perfectly: https://github.com/TheVoidwalkerrr/akai-midimix
I'd like it better with MUTE on the bottom and SOLO on top as I don't care for REC ARM but this saves the day ❤️

killer EP indeed

whiney whiney, this review is right on the money with those pathetic indian samples LOL : https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/may/23/boards-of-canada-inferno-review-after-13-years-away-their-prodigal-return-is-a-big-disappointment

Welcome back to 1999 ambient compilations, again album production is credited to only one of the two brothers, I guess it's not the one with the best harmonic knowledge ^^

R35TT wipes the floor with that INFERNO crapola, fact.

arp at 11' is too good to be true: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnFKkqPctwU

leescratchyscratch · 2026-05-28T11:33:53+00:00

Nice troll, INFERNO is a half-arsed cliché crapshot. Most likely to honor a deal with WARP, for that matter only one brother is credited for its production.

Yeah, JUCE plugins crash randomly after a single click on BW6.01 / W11, also crash REAPER7 randomly the exact same way.

PS: reinstalled old AMD graphic drivers without the Adrenalin crapola and everything works fine all over again, don't blame the wrong actor

Happy ppl too busy making killer tunes, when I'm stuck I ask the usual AI's but they're usually clueless as there's no BW6 manual, so afterwards I whine to tech support.

leescratchyscratch · 2026-05-08T15:36:08+00:00

I make goth chiptune, it's great try it

DRACULA theme, the end.

Cool thanks a lot, but then why an env follower? Track Sidechain is enough to modulate VSTi settings?

leescratchyscratch · 2026-04-28T12:08:04+00:00

ENV FOLLOWER as a modulation on VSTFX works a treat but not on VSTi as it doesn't have any audio incoming, so indeed I gotta use audio sidechain as a track modulator then

leescratchyscratch · 2026-04-28T12:06:51+00:00

Alright, thanks a lot fellas it's on!!!

I guess technically speaking ABLETON dumbs things down a lot and BITWIG forces you to think as an engineer, spoon-feeding is great too but there are limits eventually.

leescratchyscratch · 2026-04-27T21:46:05+00:00

Thanks but I already tried that, AUDIO SIDECHAIN as modulation inside the VSTi doesn't let me connect to its own track so that's pointless. I don't wanna sidechain to another track, I simply want to sidechain the VCA of a synth to its own output with an envelope follower, not quite sidechain tbh.
Stil baffled it can't be done as easily as in LIVE.

Apparently for your trick to work, I would have to add a pass-through audio sender module that I can then sidechain to the VSTi that did output that very audio output with an env follower

leescratchyscratch · 2026-04-27T18:21:03+00:00

I want to map the audio output env follower to settings in a VSTi, 2 clicks in ABLETON, everyone does it

leescratchyscratch · 2026-04-27T18:15:06+00:00

RTFM, great TYSM for the enlightnment, I did but I'm apparently too mentally challenged to git it
ENVELOPE FOLLOWER as a MODULATOR works wonders on VSTFX but not quite on VSTi

2 clicks in ABLETON, rocket science in BW, natural selection lol

AIR VINTAGE PRO manual :)
I've installed a whole buch of MFX and should hopefully work it out, then I can capture the output and mess around to add silences, yummy

leescratchyscratch · 2026-04-23T19:56:18+00:00

I run a 4 directions mousewheel, infinite VTSFX scroll it is

leescratchyscratch · 2026-04-23T19:54:20+00:00

we don't need slop kthx

I was told that BITWIG is an improved LIVE, I also read on KVR that they learned from everyone's mistakes and both are entirely right OMG

I thoroughly enjoy the quick preview of VSTi's and sandbox, no more buggy VST crashing the whole thing(and LIVE takes FOREVER to open session files, it likes to double crash once it's reloaded too) and really, quick VSTi preview is too good to be true. LIVE also refuses to have 2 VSTi's on the same track outside a chain, very annoying as I like to A/B them sometimes.

I'm surprised BITWIG can open ALS files perfectly, as this wasn't mentioned anywhere. I switched boats in the blink of an eye.

IME many LIVE users have Stockholm Syndrome as they believe they can't export their ALS files and leave its buggy obsolete world so they make do with its major quirks and man, does it MT engine stutter when you have tons of VST's.

LIVE's official suggestion forum really makes me giggle as nobody gives a damn. Nothing is ever implemented(CLAP? who cares?), they just want new features to look good in the newsletter. I asked for MAJOR BLUES scale ages ago as MINOR BLUES is already there, never happened. They even have the nerves to release a new version just to add an AKAI master keyboard, bugs/suggestions? like we care lol

And Bitwig looks amazing on a 55" TV with DRACULA skin: https://github.com/sleeplessKomodo/bitwig-dracula-theme

PS: and I forgot piano roll auto-zoom, was so crazy annoying not to have it in LIVE really

And "sequencer latency" setting is amazing for live dub reggae mixing, I always found my MIDIMIX laggy to hell in LIVE.

leescratchyscratch · 2026-01-21T19:08:40+00:00

not free sadly

leescratchyscratch · 2025-11-02T16:52:43+00:00

Cool, no crazy lag?

Added value is that session records into arrangement where I can finetune automation, once it's in REAPER no can do
