There are other things I would like to see in Bitwig’s macros. In Ableton’s macro editor, you can assign sections of the macro knob to different destinations with min/max values like this:
For example you can assign 0-20% of the macro knob to one thing, 20-40% to another, 40-60% to another ect… as well as have overlapping divisions of the knob as well. I used to use that feature in Ableton all the time for making multi fx. I actually re-created that type of multi fx knob in the Grid here:
The setup I did in this patch was just dividing 1 macro into 4, so each 25% of the macro triggers 1 of 4 macros to turn from 0-100%. It works for what I want but is obviously a tedious round about way to accomplish what is very easy in Ableton’s macro editor. Although, I’m thinking about it now, and it probably wouldn’t be hard to just design a min/max setup in the Grid that works like Ableton’s. I might try to set up something like that.
Things like adding exact increments to the macro knobs can be done in the Grid. If we get something like a Grid Modulator device, then we could design new types of macro knobs, especially if we get custom panel options.
