Using Max MSP in Bitwig

[o00o]

Did you guys find any good tutorials on how to use MaxMsp in Bitwig? I have a legal version of Bitwig running and do not want to buy live just for max

Using OSC is probably your best bet:

Hell yeah another bitwig user. There are a small handful of us out there. I think RNBO has some compatibility with exporting stuff from max to VST plugins, that might be another avenue to take. https://cycling74.com/products/rnbo

 

Also theres... the grid, but I'm guessing you don't like the grid for what you want to achieve otherwise you wouldn't have asked.

Thanks I will give it a shot even so it looks more complicated than I expected

I have no experience with max btw, so take my advice with a grain of salt

you can probably get virtual midi ports to show up in max/bitwig but i've never tried. might need blackhole also for routing audio. 

what you trying to do with bitwig/max?  max is pretty great all by itself. so is bitwig w/the grid.

i was inclined to say the same thing. as someone who wasted a lot of time trying to sync max with logic pro using rewire/midi sync etc, i’d recommend going all in one one environment. i did a lot better when i did everything in max and then just recorded the output in logic using some kind of multichannel inter app audio driver like blackhole or previously soundflower. these days i’m using uaudio virtual channels but it’s all the same idea

Theres also plugdata, which is puredata vst3 wrapper. This guy has some videos using it in bitwig

I want to use some of these prebuilts in my setup as a drum machine and build myself some machines based on the learnings
