Funny how that narrative always comes up…
FYI, I am working with what’s in front of me - a different, subjectively inferior DAW.
For the love of music, please move on.
There are plenty of other DAWs to choose from.
Cheers!

Got to agree with moving on. Frustrations are real of course, not denying that BW is better suited for some things than others.
Gee, thanks!
I had no idea that’s an option.
I thought that on a f**ing forum one can only discuss this stuff 
Why the more you post, the more it looks like the crappy Bitwig KVR Audio forum over here ?
This place is nice, please don’t ruin it.

Wow, ok 
Let’s try to keep it friendly.
@antic604 Bitwig isn’t perfect for sure. No harm in offering some improvements.
As I think you’ve already suggested it’s the same elsewhere. I got Ableton 12 recently in the sales and I think the work they’ve done with the browser and tagging is great, but those MIDI generator and modifier tools seem awfully clunky and fiddly and not that useful. In my opinion!
I think we can all peacefully agree that the healthy competition keeps things moving!
For one quite like having options, it means I can sometimes change tools and try something different. We’re all allowed to own more than one DAW!

I want to help here, but I’ve never done MIDI CC from Bitwig, nor have I used a Model 12 as MIDI interface.
Perhaps one thing you can try is to send Program Change from Bitwig, because then you will see the Quadraverb’s screen change when the program change is received. This will show you that you have the correct MIDI channel selected on both the transmitting end (Bitwig) and receiving end (QVerb). It will also show you that the Model12 is behaving as you expect, and you have the correct ports chosen.
You might also need to check that the Model 12 isn’t “eating” the MIDI CC by interpreting it locally. Some multi-purpose USB devices I’ve used have multiple ‘virtual’ MIDI ports that show up on the computer – some are for communicating with the device itself, while some are for sending/receiving MIDI over the dedicated MIDI ports on the device. No idea if Model12 is like this.
Also it never hurts to double-check the actual physical connections. How many times have I thought I was connected to MIDI IN when actually I mixed up the MIDI OUT

I’m all into glitches these days and I’ve never realized how powerful the array module was and that you can do some kind of live resampling glitching stuff à la octatrack with it.
This is just a kick with an arpeggiator running into the array module, live resampled while playing with the read phase :
Edit: Man this live resampling stuff will be so fun when Overbridge for the DN2 will be available.

…so, this is, what it sounds like if ur “abusing” the array module…!?..lovely…
the array module, hmmmmm, just another little sonic tool from the grid, i guess, i never used so far, like soooooooo manyyyyyyyy other little ones lurking around in bw, waiting to be discovered, while u can easily overlook each single one without even starting to guess what it actually could do for u…
truu modularity means nothing but eternity…meanwhile, all phase remains a bucket of miracles…
but anyways…hey BW…i want my five point threeeeeeeeeeeeee…

I was thinking about this guy’s techniques :

It’s so cool what he is doing with modular. So, without modular and without an octatrack, the array module might be the solution to reproduce these kind of live sampling glitches.
And I agree with you, I also overlooked a lot of modules from the grid.
Now, imagine a hybrid setup with a DN2 (and with a DT2, let’s be crazy) controlling the array module (and other effects) via midi to live resample the audio from itself. That would be the best of both worlds.

Having worked with the DT2 a bit now, I sent a suggestion to BW to implement something similar to parameter locking in BW. They could simply let the clips in the arranger have a modulation output just like the modulators so each clip can offset synth or FX parameters. Seems a lot faster to work with than automation lanes to me. I’m guessing that more people asking the same thing gets more attention, hint, hint.

Worth checking out (no secrets or leaks - just good, Bitwig-related discussion with prominent Bitwig community people):

Me and nXok made a collab out of the “single synth challenge” at Taches’ skool bitwig community. We got in touch and decided to use polymer for the chalenge. Sending BW project files of 1-2 MB is way more convenient than hoisting batches of large stems around.
@antic604 Nice!

Early stage of a live resampling patch à la octatrack, with slices (8 slices here), record trigs, play trigs and randomization of the slices. Can’t believe it was so easy to do and I just didn’t see it. The “Duh!” moments are always the best.
A fun little audio example of a live resampled mangled loop made with this patch coupled with a patch with array modules :
