Bitwig Controller Script for AKAI Midimix

How the controller is mapped:

• faders control track volume
• right most fader controls the master track volume
• mute, rec/arm and solo work as expected
• bank left/right steps a full page (8 channels) forward or backward
• the top row of knobs is mapped to the device parameters (macro controls)

Installation

The recommend installation method is to download a precompiled release from this projects release page into your ~/Bitwig Studio/Extensions folder. Note that the Extensions path is probably different for Windows or Mac.

From Source (Development)

Installing from source requires mvn and a Java 8 JDK.

$ mvn install

I would recommend to symlink the extension like this:

$ ln -s "$PWD/target/AKAIMidimix.bwextension" ~/Bitwig\ Studio/Extensions

A list of improvements

This list is inspired by this Bitwig extension: https://github.com/outterback/bitwig-midi-controller-scripts/blob/master/midimix/src/main/java/com/akai/MidiMixController.java

• clear all lights when the script is stopped
• show a popup notification indicating what channels are active when bank left/right is pressed
