Hello, I’m using SWAM instruments within Bitwig 5.1.2 (Windows 11). My two controllers are the Novation SL MK3 and the NI S88 MK2. Also I’m using the Driven By Moss script for the SL MK3 and Bitwig. It’s working pretty well by default with the mod wheel controlling the vibrato and a foot pedal controlling expression. I have two problems:
The aftertouch on my SL MK3 isn’t working with SWAM.
I tried going into the SWAM mapping presets and selecting the “Keyboard ModWheel + AT Default” which did switch the expression control to the mod wheel but no luck on the aftertouch.
I then tried the approach in Bitwig of Show Modulators, Loading up Expressions, and mapping the pressure modulator to Vibrato (Depth, Rate, and Fade in) but that didn’t work.
Next I clicked on the MIDI icon within the SWAM UI, right clicked vibrato highlighted in pink, and set the message to aftertouch but still nothing.
I know that the aftertouch works on my keyboard because I use it with other plugins.
By default the pitch wheel is not working on either controller. As I cannot assign it within the plugin, I went and assigned it within Bitwig by right clicking the knob, selecting “Map To Controller Or Key”, and moving my pitch wheel. This works but oddly the NI S88 pitch wheel still won’t work with it and although this is not essential for both controllers to have pitch bend working simultaneously I do actually like to switch controllers in the middle of a performance. The mod wheels both work at the same time so this just seems odd to me. Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.
