I just installed the Analog Lab template. It works in standalone and in Logic, but not Bitwig. Any advice would be great thanks.

    You are probably in DAW mode as that is the default for Bitwig. Switch to MIDI mode or use one of the NKS or Bitwig Remote Control versions if you’d rather have control over the plugin but want to stay in DAW mode

    Thanks for the help Kymela. Do you mean that I should set up Kontrol keyboard as MIDI controller as outlined here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ASJ5v7-zVo

    Just hit Shift/MIDI to switch from DAW mode and DAW to go back into it (note you will still be able to access transport in both modes) if you want to send MIDI to plugins

    But yes you are probably better off just using KK to load Analog Lab as NKS or setup a device map using remote controls for it

    Thanks for clarifying. I tried Shift/midi which brought up the Analog Lab template but still no love. I'll contact Bitwig and let them know. It's still great that I can access all the Arturia synths with KK. I also use Maschine MK3 as a midi controller with Bitwig and everything is very easy to map. Maschine/Bitwig is a great combo. Thanks for your help Kymela!

    hmm it works for me, but I did remake it as I found the mappings in the one downloadable in the sharing thread didn't entirely work for me so I had to remap it first. This is possibly due to that template not coming with a saved CC map for Analog Lab itself. I've attached a ZIP with my revised template and created a CC map MIDI config in Analog Lab but I can't see how to share the MIDI config preferences - not sure where it gets saved to

    For me though a better approach is to use a Device Map made with the Bitwig remote Controls editor. This is because it means not having to switch between DAW and MIDI modes, and param names and information displayed are adaptive to the patch. Also if you use the MOSS extension you can see a visualisation of params being moved on the Kontrol MkIII keyboard screen

    Hi Kymela, Thanks for all your help. I still haven't been able to get this to work, but I'll keep trying! Just haven't had the time of recent. Cheers.
