In this video, I introduce new features to my controller script, Retrospect, which now includes built-in functionality to correct out-of-scale notes directly, eliminating the need for a separate key filter in Bitwig. This update allows users to record the correct notes in a desired scale directly into a note clip, simplifying the process and saving time. I also provide guidance on how to download and set up the script, and welcome feedback and feature requests from viewers.

In this video, I demonstrate how to use a retrospective recording feature for MIDI notes in Bitwig Studio, allowing you to capture notes even if you forget to hit record. I explain how my custom controller script works to record MIDI data into a buffer while also passing it through to Bitwig, and I mention an upcoming update that will integrate a diatonic transposer directly into the script. Additionally, I share that new scales have been included in the zip file that viewers can download and try out, and I invite feedback and ideas in the comments.

In this video, I introduced my new Chord Maker controller script for Bitwig Studio, which creates simple diatonic chord progressions in the piano roll. It allows users to choose modes, re-voice notes, and add bass or seventh notes, providing a great starting point for music creation with the ability to customize further. I also provided instructions on accessing and troubleshooting the script, inviting feedback for potential improvements.

I've fixed issues with the scale maker script related to hard-coded variables and enhanced the melody maker by adding more scales and modes that are shared between both scripts. Users can now download a separate scales file to customize or share their scales, and there's an updated feature that allows the clip name to reflect the chosen scale. Check my GitHub for the necessary files, and feel free to provide feedback or suggest further improvements.

In this video, I'm introducing Scale Maker, a script designed to help improve your experience in the piano roll by allowing you to fit notes to a chosen scale and even prevent wrong notes from being painted. I also discuss the integration with Melody Maker, enhancements made to the scripts, and how to install them via GitHub, despite some users experiencing issues with Windows Defender. Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and feel free to download and try it out for free.

In this video, I introduced a new script I created for Bitwig Studio that addresses user complaints about the piano roll by generating random melodies in chosen scales with various customizable options like rest probability, note length variation, and octave start. The script is still experimental, and I'm seeking feedback from viewers to improve it, with plans to develop more features in the future. You can find the script in the description or on my GitHub or Patreon, and using it involves downloading a JavaScript file and setting it up in Bitwig's controller settings.
