Great!
Now what about:
- deleting clips
- tap tempo
- select different devices from a track
- device on/off switch
Would be possible to implement these features for the APC mini?
Thanks

Currently not possible with the API (I can only send a delete key, which depends on the focus).

Any idea where to place them? The controller is already pretty crowded...

Here's a little update 2.11:

* On the MkII you can now navigate the device layers. Use Shift+Device Left/Right.
* Currently playing measure in Drumsequencer is now drawn in green.
* Bugfix: Two green colors had the same value on the Push.

And also some care for the little one:

* Currently playing measure in Drum- and Notesequencer is now drawn in green. Nonactive measures are now painted orange.
* Bugfix: Clip recording did not start when pad was pressed if Bitwig was not already playing.

Enjoy!

Changelist:
- Drumpads now use the colors set in the drum machine.
- On track bank change the 1st channel of the bank is selected.
- Removed selection of clip with same index when changing tracks because of some nasty side effects.

I mixed up a file change of the APC with the Push script. Please redownload for APCmkI and APCmkII.

Spent yesterday with the script. Awesome work!

One thing I had in mind - would it be possible to have a reverse possibility in the sequencer, meaning for example, if I press shift+lit step, it would play that step in reverse?

Oh, btw, your site says last update in December, and the version is still 2.11.

How can you play a step in reverse? I guess you mean to reverse all notes of the pad in the whole clip?

I guess you need to refresh your browser (Ctrl+F5).

Thanks moss, I must have worked pretty late. Sampler doesn't have a reverse function so it wouldn't really work. I was playing around with loops at the time, which you can obviously reverse at onsets. In shot, disregard my last message, aside for applauding your work

I updated the APCmini script to 2.3:

- Streamlined and fixed behaviour of cursor buttons with and without Shift pressed (see updated documentation).
- Bugfix: Fixed display of note range in sequencer mode.
