Seconding Kirkwood West, this can be achieved. I am nearing the end of a project using multiple pages (using the tag method) to make use of 3 x midi fighter twisters (MFT's).Which extension supports more than one page? I don't know any.
And in my opinion, this fixed focussing on eight parameters is also a major problem with Bitwig. It is not possible to simply integrate a controller with more than eight controls completely and then control the active device with all available controls.
Once I have finished this project and have code tidied up and (to an extent) well commented, I will be putting my complete project up on Github for others to learn from. There are 2 Bitwig extensions - one for the MFT's and one for an Icon P1M-P1X combination, along with 2 Maxmsp gui objects that I have coded for 1 - a display for the P1M/P1X, and 2- a touch display for navigating banks on the MFT's.
I will say now, that this has all been possible thanks to the kind offerings of members Kirkwood and Moss from here on their github.
I will warn you though, that If you want to do something unique for your own needs, be prepared to do quite some research and trial and error. I have spent a massive amount of time on these projects, but the pay off is that I can now get home from tour, turn on my 'mini studio' and be improvising with electronic music with lots of custom hands on control in minutes!
I do quite a lot of touring so am hoping to get this all up on github before xmas (realistically).
I fully intend to make some video examples and walkthroughs to give other people inspiration, I just have to learn how to do that now!!
All the best,
Leigh
