The stickers I designed for the Ottopot arrived today, they look and fit as I imagined, and I'm so happy!

To recap, this is a midi controller created by @gerotakke, with LED lights programmed by Pierrot, and my custom stickers as cherry on top to dim the lights. I feel kinda ridiculous posting about round stickers in today's world but how can I express the warm feeling of generosity and care this... controller transmits in a way?

Bitwig just bridged „the gap“: they introduced a DAW audio interface, and one of the kickers: it has CV in/out build in.

Didn’t have a chance to lay hands on it, but it looks sweet and seems to have interesting control integration into the DAW.

As a software developer, I always feel like the stop into hardware is quite a significant one. Noice.

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.

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.

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.
