New user here.
trying to connect Hapax to Bitwig to trigger vsts.
I have looked and have found no information on what settings to use in Bitwig… controller vx keyboard…mc midi setup to do or not… need help from anyone that has done this… wish the manual had more info on connecting to software like ableton or bitwig
currently i am using a generic keyboard template… wi\ll this allow program change and access to all midi parameters versus just notes ?
thank you
Hi there! I have successfully used it. One of the things that always messes me up is disambiguating usb “host” from “usb” device. Does “host” mean the hapax acting as the host, or acting as the device? The manual doesn’t clarify but it actually means the host in reference to the hapax. So firstly set that to host for for midi sync in (or out, I use sync in because I control the transport of hapax w/ bitwig via a presonous faderport 8).
Do you want to be able to control start/stop in bitwig from the hapax? I will put some screenshots of my setup later today.
Hey @intervallux , I just got the hapax and want to use it with bitwig. Can I request to have a private chat with you about how to get things set up in the most effective and creativity inducing way. Would you be willing to do a zoom call or something where we can discuss things in detail. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
connect the usb device port to your computer from hapax
set hapax to synch with bitwig. Settings >> Synchronization send it midi clock
set hapax synch to external midi clock
create midi keyboard or controller in bitwig midi settings and point to hapax
Make instrument track in bitwig and add VST
set input of that track to hapax(the midi keyboard or controller you setup) channel 1 and arm it and make sure monitor is on
make track on hapax set out midi to USB device channel 1
play VST in live mode and step sequence it as well.
Adjust compensation as needed in bitwig via the the midi clock on synchronization menu or on hapax settings compensation usb device channel 1
Hey mate.
I went into SETTINGS > SYNC IN , there I set the CLOCK SOURCE to USB DEVICE and I also tried USB HOST but hapax does not play when I press play on bitwig.
Also where exactly can I find the “Channel” assign in Bitwig so I can send different tracks in hapax to different instrument tracks in bitwig. currently all tracks in hapax are sending notes to all tracks in bitwig when they’re armed in bitwig
Never mind , figured it out, Thanks anyway!
@owensands it seems to work but HAPAX has crazy clock jitters … anyone else get that?
Bitwig is sending clock → Hapax but the bmp on Hapax is dancing like crazy - i see the numbers jump from 80-140 when its set to 100 in Bitwig. It does not seem to affect downstream devices connected to Hapax but still seems off
Check all the clocks going into the hapax. Sounds like you have more then just bitwig maybe. That can happen when you have a midi clock loop.
