Hi there,
I’m developing a custom bitwig studio controller script to use with my grid setup. So far everything works fine. I can send MIDI CC and MIDI Note messages from my controller to the script and also the other way around.
Right now I’m sending MIDI CC messages from my bitwig script to the grid controller to control the brightness of the different leds and this also works just fine.
For some future features I also want to set the color of leds from my bitwig script. For that I want to use SysEx messages instead of CC messages, because I need to send information that is too big for 7 bit CC messages.
And that’s where I’m stuck. I’m already sending sysex messages from my bitwig script to the grid but it seems like they’re not recognized.
I have the following code on the setup page of the system element:
I tried sending Sysex commands from my bitwig script and also from SysEx Librarian, but it does not work.
I also tried adding a SysEx block to one of my buttons and this works. So it seems like the it’s working when the SysEx message ist emitted by the grid itself, but it’s not working when sending SysEx from an external source.
Any help would be much appreciated! This is driving me nuts right now ![]()
