#LinuxAudio journey so far. I want to make #music on #Linux - it has not been an easy transitional process so far. I am now on my 4th iteration of #Ubuntu - this time with 25.04 (24.04 Studio was glitchy, 24.04.2 LTS would not install, 22.04 would not play audio from #Bitwig). Each iteration requires 2-4 hours to set up and test, but this is getting a little quicker with each cycle.
It has been challenging, but I am both stubborn and determined.
#Linux #BitwigStudio friends - I am feeling very thwarted and vexed.
Apparently there are issues with the #Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS installer that makes it crash with the WSoD on boot from USB installer.
After many hours of rebuilding installers I have now got Ubuntu 22.04 LTS installed. It takes a longer time to boot, but feels smooth and responsive to interact with - however - there's no audio options in #Bitwig - PipeWire, JACK and ALSA all show nothing.
There's system audio, just not Bitwig.
I can create chord sequences, do random changes, and then use the same information to pull the notes back into shape.
The second half of each loop changes from constrain to filter, so you can hear what is being done.
The chords generated is the same alpha cube, but the rotations are different, so when constrained to the prism key, resolve differently.
My Problems with the Bitwig Connect
Hey all,
I have a Bitwig 8-track code that I can give away. Is anyone interesded? Please privately mention me for the code + instructions.
The first person that reaches out will get it.
If you are not interested, please repost so someone else can see it.
simultaneous encode and decode of Metaharmony information (It's only 7 bits), is running at about 1.3ms overhead in Bitwig in the Grid now.
I'm using MIDI channel 15 CC 89 for the Prism coordinates (Prism being a projection of the tesseract into 3d space), and CC90 for Degree (Chords I - VII, plus a special Zero-th degree that refers to the Alpha Cube of the local Prism coordinates)
Now how to make that sound like it means anything?

Yo, the Bitwig integration for the Melbourne Instruments "Roto Control" is out in beta. "Feeling" a parameter change, is really something. I hope more controller vendors go this route.

I made a #theme for #Bitwig studio that is inspired by my favorite #Ableton Theme [modernX]. I mostly modified the [Macchiato Bitwig Theme]. If you like, you can download it at [#codeberg]

Just messing around with Bitwig Connect and patching some basic stuff. Even without any external gear, you can still have some fun..

Finally back to Oscilloscope-Music and here I used #synthmaster3 for the sound, spreading the phase of 4 voices to get interesting patterns in the X/Y view.
Adding a bit of Distortion in #Osci-Render.
I so love this! :-)
Thanks to James Ball for this magical tool!
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?

I hope that Bitwig Connect 4/12 will be a big, phat success and that they will introduce something like a Bitwig Connect 32/32 in either 19" or desktop form factor for me to eventually replace my beloved RME Fireface UFX in a couple of years. #linuxaudio #bitwig #usb #classcompliant #rme #audiointerface #cv #midi
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.
