Bitwig fixed my bug! Program changes finally working

[@stateazure]

That's awesome, Martin! Really happy they listened and fixed the issue. Now if only they will fix the horrible need for constant scrolling in the devices every time you drop a new device in, or open the modulation panels etc!

[@MartinStuertzer]

It is their way of telling you, that you should not put too many plugins on one channel. ;) But yes, you are right! I didn't notice that before, but now I also find it annoying.

[@stateazure]

@@MartinStuertzer Haha. I honestly didn't notice it for a long time, I think we're just so accustomed to scrolling every day in general that maybe we don't realise it. But the amount of constant scrolling I end up doing in Bitwig in the devices panel is really crazy. Not sure what the solution could be though, as an auto-adjustment might be visually annoying, but there should at least be an option.

"Influencer" in the opposite direction. 👍

[@MartinStuertzer]

True!

[@dEUSASTRA]

I LIKE watching your videos because I ❤ all those toys.

[@adadcalledrichard]

Great tip for instrument selector automation (now it works without side effects) - thanks!

[@filetransferprotocoldoctor]

Finally i'm so happy!

[@ilyandilymusic]

Now please do a video on how you would like some sort of video sync and other video functionality built into bitwig! I have loved bitwig every step of the way after switching from ableton a few months ago but I would love to have some video functionality! I'm so so happy to see this program change issue fixed, thank you Martin!!!

[@dr.gregoryf.maassen2637]

We echo this. It would be useful to have this.

[@ilyandilymusic]

@@dr.gregoryf.maassen2637 It doesn’t have to be as full fledged as studio one or even logic. But something would be absolutely incredible.

[@sudhanva-bhat]

Very happy to see you excited :) and also the changes are brought in

[@kvmorgan1]

Thanks for sharing! And nice to see the Push back in use.

[@eddraper]

Great!

[@robmlisanti]

GReat News Martin!!👍👍

[@jakefisher8788]

Nice work !!!!

[@gonzinigonz]

The Push is back then!

[@ilyandilymusic]

Was the program change issue the main (or only) reason you were using the novation for the past few videos?

[@MartinStuertzer]

No, the main reason was, that I have some issues with the script for Bitwig. They still exist, maybe I will do another video about that. ;)

[@ilyandilymusic]

@@MartinStuertzer I would love to see that video. I’m still using my push 2 with bitwig and I find the clip length does not work as intended. I also have some issues with the drum pads and drum pad layout. I’m not sure if it’s a me problem or different drum racks in bitwig or what else.

[@JeffHendricks]

Waiting for them to fix the graphic support in Linux, but yeah! Good to hear!

[@AutismMusician]

hi. Martin !!! I love your Music, you are my hero, And you got me into Ambient Music creation.now my Goal in life to to make music just like yours, I listen to your music every night to go to sleep and during the day when I need a break ... I have a question for you, Is the Ableton Push 3 you have _a Standalone version? or the controller (cheaper Version_??? I am planing on buying one but I want the same one as you.!!!, Thanks for you Videos and your beautiful Music, (awaiting your reply on the Push 3.. :)

[@AutismMusician]

Creation now is not a link... don't click on it.... it's odd that it lite up blue.... please disregard this link. awaiting your reply Martin :)

[@MartinStuertzer]

Thank you for your kind words, I am glad, that you found your way into making music! I am using the Push 3 as controller version, not the stand alone version. Usually I have a lot of non-ableton plugins in my setup, which would not work on the standalone.

[@AutismMusician]

@@MartinStuertzer that's so great to hear, I can't wait til I get the push 3 ... do you have an Affiliate with Sweetwater or amazon ? to get credit?

[@discjockeyjoey420]

When using the 'Midi Program Change' tool, I cannot get the 'Program' value to change when I play a different scene. I enabled the automation lane and tried to send program to each scene. It successfully changed the patch on my synth when i manually change the 'Program' value. How can I get the value to stick to the scene?

[@dr.gregoryf.maassen2637]

Good to know they are listening to you. We shall resist the temptation to overload you with feature requests, but they should fix the issue of installing a new version of Bitwig each time you install a new version, and have capture midi, and, and, and ...

[@MartinStuertzer]

I think that is a windows problem. On the other hand I would like to have two versions at the same time. A stable release for playing live and the latest beta for fun.

[@dr.gregoryf.maassen2637]

I would love to have the option for people like you who live perform to install a new copy, not overwriting the old version. We who score for film really don't need an endless number of Bitwig versions in our studio. We only install software out of beta and certainly welcome only one copy on our computer.

[@offthisworld]

Took a little while to get it fixed .... but patience and all ;-) Q: does it also work for 'empty clips' Martin? As a fill between clips, for live improvisation/playing ?

[@MartinStuertzer]

A good question! It should work, because the program change message is not linked to a note. I use clips with automation data only a lot in my sets.

[@nuenn]

… und jetzt noch deine favourite Bugs in Ableton lösen 😀👍🏻

[@MartinStuertzer]

Da sehe ich schwarz! Wobei einer aus meinem Video immerhin schon verschwunden ist.

[@olafsigursons]

I know it's stupid, but the only thing preventing to switch to bitwig is the size of the fader. Too small and too wide. I prefer the fader on Live. 🙅‍♀

[@howardhutchinson1631]

Hi Martin, didn't noticed you switched to Bitwig, preferrably on Linux like i did, but that's another story. I have a wish, maybe you can tell your "friend" at Bitwig. In Sampler, please add a start point randomization feature, which always sets a random start inside (and or before) a loop. Right now, it accidentally happens, that the start is behind the loop and the sample ends with nothing but silence.......

[@mathieupe666]

🎉🎉🎉

[@hotgreentea]

hey Martin!,nice synths! does program change work with vst3 in bitwig? i'm asking because in ableton12 it doesn't(vst2 only),...

[@jimihendrix991]

Back in the day, Klaus Schulze also used a 'program update' to solve issues.... He drank another beer.... issues solved..... Easy. 😉

[@vroteg]

Wow. They listen to someone at last. Maybe you can make video about every bug in bitwig so devs can iron it out. Actually then you will be making videos about bugs full time. There are a lot….
