After three weeks using the Ottopot controller by @gerotakke, I can confidently say that I LOVE IT. With Bitwig it's like hand in glove.
The only thing that bothers me a bit is the LED brightness in my dim light studio. After some iterations, I am going to order custom stickers. I'm an Inkscape nullity but I got what I wanted from it. In the pics, my "prototype" with plain paper printed with an old inkjet. Approved! I'm ordering the stickers on Monday.

Cursed Piano Roll - Bitwig is MS Word now.
To follow up on my last video you can actually measure how compressed a signal is. In the RMS world, this is called Crest Factor. It helps you get a sense of whether you’ve gone too far with compression or saturation.
I’m also sharing a handy tool for Bitwig that lets you measure it directly. But even if you’re using Ableton Live, Cubase, or Logic, you can use a plugin like dpMeter to check the compression levels in your tracks.
Today I want to talk about something I don’t hear many people mention on YouTube, and that’s exactly why I think it’s worth bringing up. So if you often use sample packs and wonder why things don’t quite glue together, this might be a tip worth checking out!
I updated my Melody Maker script for Bitwig. New features include Motif Development, Random Velocity, Timbre, Pressure, and Release Velocity for expressive modulations. Rhythmic Emphasis helps place important notes in key positions. The loop range, start, and end point of the clip now adjust based on the selected bar size, and there’s a new button to generate an alternate version of the current sequence.

Thanks to everyone who attended the Listening Party last night. 
Just found out that CLAP plugins offer the DAW controls that it can layout for your controller, which of course Bitwig does.
SurgeXT automatically lays out it's 8 macros, scene mixers and filters.
That's seriously cool.
This Bitwig preset EQs your tracks based on an audio source, without needing much tweaking. You can use *pink noise* (or variations of it) as a reference, or even another track. The EQ curve is then applied to your signal to create a more balanced mix.
@jet I've rebuilt the Seal Eggs preset. Now at v1.1 and you can get it from my website. Great for extra #BonkWave #ElectronicMusic making in #Bitwig and made as a #BitwigStudio v4.0 preset.

How I made the track 'Small Things Popping’.
This is one where I had something finished in 2022 but just never fully dug it, so I share what it sounded like and wrote a bit about how I reworked it.
Includes me playing ukulele, somewhat improbably?

Hey everyone! Today, I’m introducing you to a MIDI controller that, unfortunately, you can’t buy. One of my patrons, @gerotakke built his own high-resolution MIDI controller, and I wanted to showcase it here.
*EDIT* THE LICENSE HAS BEEN CLAIMED. Thanks for all the likes and boosts.
Apparently I have a free license for Bitwig Studio 8-Track to give away. Drop me a DM if you need it.
How I made the track 'Trellis'. In this one I wrote about self-remixing tracks to get out of habits, polymetric loops, using vocoders to *not* make robot voices, field recordings with contact mics...
Would you #bitwig users appreciate an alternative light theme for the #daw? Ideally one that follows the system setting? I would really like to be able to use Bitwig Studio in bright sunlight and the dark theme is not ideal for such conditions.

I made a 33(!) minute long video for my album Dream Factory. It's a very psychedelic fractal kaleidoscope that is constantly changing and matches the flowy nature of the album. I'm excited to reveal what I've been spending so much time on!
