Description

BitwigBuddy is a Bitwig Studio extension that speeds up your workflow by generating note patterns, editing velocities, and automating repetitive tasks with powerful macros. It is built around three modes: Generate, Edit, and Macro.

Generate Mode

  • Create drum and note patterns from presets, or generate them semi-randomly in Program Mode with adjustable density and velocity shapes.
  • Skip Step Every X, repeat patterns up to 8 times (max 128 steps), and toggle between Replace and Add for non-destructive editing.
  • Save your own custom presets.

Edit Mode

  • Reshape velocities of selected notes with 30+ velocity shapes (Linear, Arc, Sine, Triangle, Square, Sawtooth, and more).
  • Humanize and transform existing patterns.

Macro Mode

  • Chain native Bitwig actions with BitwigBuddy commands, including variables, loops, and conditionals.
  • Ships with ready-made macros for common workflows.
