yes! And imagine hardware companies like Akai, Elektron or Roland would adapt that format and you could export your groovebox projects as DAWProject files.

Would you mind sharing a bit of how you connect steamdeck to the outside world ? Audio and midi I/O please ?

-Midi through usb-c
-audio via the headphone jack
I didn’t really go beyond that and have since given up on this quest. It’s still fun for sure, but tiny bit wig is hard to use haha
Thanks !
Yeah I can imagine that but having the setup done on my workstation and ported to a plug n’ play portable complex vst host, appeals to me !

I don’t really understand what TouchDesigner even is (apart from it being the core of the M8 Tracker’s OS, or something?) And neither the press release nor their website is helping me out in this regard. If you could you summarize what it is and/or why this is huge, I’d be forever thankful!

Check out this guy and what he does with Touchdesigner and sounds. It’s better than any summary I can do :

Very impressive, but I still don’t understand what are the practical applications of this Bitwig connection to TouchDesigner. What are the benefits for musicians, developers or users.

Touchdesigner is its own world, like Max MSP was before Max for Live if you will.
So if you really want to summarize things, this is a little bit like a Max for Live for visual design and for Bitwig.
You could use it to make custom visuals for a song, or a set by having Bitwig modulators control parameters in a custom visualizer you build in Touch Designer.

Yeah, if I had time to learn Touch Designer. Everything I see done with it is spectacular. Would be amazing to have strobe style visuals synced to a Bitwig project using modulators. Pretty over whelming. Maybe if it were like M4L, where developers could make patches for Touch Designer? Or maybe I’ll just at some point go down the Touch Designer rabbit hole.
Exciting times tho

…as much as i appreciate, bitwig is closing the gap to visual content creating, i’d much prefer, they would give it a try on their own…
i really need to get my own hands on visual production capabilties…
but, damn, i need it to be under the same hood, with the exact same fluent workflow as bitwig offers me already in audio…
a coop with a developer that is already doing it might be a good move…
and sure, cycliing74, mother of all max msp does a great job in ableton…
but that’s not the bitwig way…so teaming up with touchdesigner better be an inbetween solution…
i keep on dreaming/hoping/waiting for a bitwig version in which i can play with all the wigs on all the bits, wether it’s content for the ear or content for the eye…grid is grid…and only THAT is all tomorrows parties…

Well, the more I think of it, the more this sort of thing might be where I need to go. Have an old friend who uses Touch Designer and I’ve always wanted to learn it. This may end up being technology charting my path once again. Anybody on here use TD?
Edit: Awe cool! TD is free until I make money with it! Wow.

I had the same thought, now that I have a decent computer and there’s bitwig integration it seems like the perfect time to learn TD. Maybe we should start a thread for us noobs…

Not sure the interest level. I’m wondering if you could have visuals connected to audio events, or clips. I’m working on three projects right now, whats one more?
I have experimented with touchdesigner before and find this really exciting. I hope I have time to set something small up this weekend.
