Thank you!

EDIT: Although it looks like its still javascript we'd have to compile ourselves? Is there a link to a ready-to-use .bwextension file for this?

Nope, this is a controller script, not an extension. Simply put it in your bitwig controller path.

Mac & Linux: ~/Documents/Bitwig Studio/Controller Scripts/
Windows: %Userprofile%\Documents\Bitwig Studio\Controller Scripts
or the user-defined path that you have set up in Bitwig (Settings -> Locations -> My Controller Scripts)

I have added an installation guide to the documentation and updated it to Github.

I'm a bit confused, will this just let me assign the knobs? or does it do anything more?

Right, it only allows own mapping with visual feedback to twister, which is otherwise not possible in bitwig!

okay thanks! would be great if the leds on the twister would also change if the assigned knob is changed in Bitwig with the mouse as well.

also there's somewierd bug for me, if I assign a knob to a macro in Bitwig sometimes, once I turn the knob all the way to 127, the twister suddenly jumps to a different page (as if I would have pressed one of it's side buttons). do you maybe know what's going on here?

... on which platform and which bitwig version do you work? Visual feedback is, when u change a mapped parameter in bitwig it return the value to the twister and visual show it on the assigned knob led ring!

Is that not working for you?

that's exactly what's not working, I'm on the newest version on macOS Catalina.

This is a great script and has improved my Bitwig experience.

I have one question, though: can I map a single MIDI CC to multiple parameters? I'd like to use is with an instrument selector so that a certain knob always controls the "filter" of whatever synth I am playing. Is this possible? I haven't been able to get it working in my Bitwig.

Yes of course, Bitwig offers different ways to do this. For me, the modulators (MIDI modulator) are the most flexible.

I will attach an example!

Thanks for this script, Artur. I'm experiencing the same behavior that when I turn a knob to its full value, the Twister switches to the second bank of knobs.

Is there a fix for this on MacOS 12.6.3 Monterey?

Upon further testing, I see that this happens only to the knobs on the top row of Bank 1. Maxing out the second knob on the top row changes the bank to #2; maxing out the third knob on the top row changes the bank to #3; maxing out the fourth knob on the top row changes the bank to #4.
