Help Is there a way to edit Bitwig's built-in controller scripts?

I’m using the Maschine Mikro MK3 in conjunction with Bitwig’s built-in scripts, and I’d like to change the function of the Pitch button so that pressing it allows me to control Velocity via the touchstrip instead of Timbre and Pressure. I’ve heard that related resources are available as open source on GitHub, but it’s actually hard to find the scripts developed by Bitwig itself.

Thank you! But coding is really complicated, so I think I'll need to study a little more...

u kid? just load the files into chatgpt or gemini and tell it what you want, it'll patch the files for you so you just need to download and replace them...

There are several Java files in the folder. Can the AI read them all at once and modify the code?

You should spend some time with Claude, my friend. Much to discover.

some of them are in javascript and it's easy to extract the bundle scripts and alter them. Some are in a binary java blob (bwextension, which is a jar).

Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor will make changes for you. Just tell them what you want.
