BU16 x Bitwig Clip Launcher

Hi all/intech,

I’m working on setting up my BU-16 to control the Bitwig launcher with MIDI LED feedback that syncs with Bitwig’s launch play animation. Ideally, I’d like the timing to be as accurate as possible.

I’m a bit out of my depth here—I have no Lua experience, and the action blocks are proving challenging. I’ve also I tried the Flexi DrivenByMoss extension without success.

Current Setup:

  • I’m MIDI mapping each clip to individual buttons
  • I’ve managed to create a radio-type row switch where activating one button deactivates the others (using if conditions)

What I’m Trying to Achieve:

  • Toggle capability for the active switch
  • When a clip is cued, the button should flash in time with another color, then change when the clip becomes active
  • Currently, I have to toggle off twice when a clip is active, which isn’t ideal

I know this is somewhat complex to explain via text. Would anyone be available for a video call where I could screen share and walk through what I’m trying to accomplish? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much,
Ryan

Managed to get everything working now apart from the bitwig feedback

Struggling to get anywhere with midi feedback from bitwig clips to the bu 16 buttons
