Generic Flexi Script: Modes & Options – Control Everything With Fewer Buttons
The Generic Flexi Script for Bitwig is already powerful – but Modes and Options are what truly unlock its full potential, even if your controller has only a handful of knobs or no encoders at all. This video walks you through every mode step by step and ends with a power tip that will change how you think about controller mapping forever.
✅ What are Modes and Options – and why do you need them?
✅ Track Mode: Control volume, panorama and sends
✅ Volume Mode and Panorama Mode explained
✅ Send Mode: Manage all 8 tracks simultaneously
✅ Device Mode: Control plugins via remote controls
✅ Browser Mode: Navigate and confirm without a mouse
✅ Options: Auto-save your last active mode
✅ Power tip: Turn your Mod Wheel into an 8-encoder bank
✅ Black keys as shortcuts for device and page switching
✅ Multiple configurations for live, production, mixing and more
Stay till the end – the Mod Wheel power tip and the multi-configuration workflow will show you how to squeeze professional control out of even the most basic MIDI controller.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
🎛️ *Modes as an intermediate layer*
Modes work like a template placed under your knobs – the same physical movement controls completely different parameters depending on which mode is active.
🗂️ *Six modes covering every workflow*
Track, Volume, Panorama, Send, Device and Browse modes handle virtually any production scenario, each with a clear focus area.
🔁 *Modes cycle in a loop*
All modes except Browser Mode can be cycled circularly with just one or two buttons
🎚️ *Device Mode for deep plugin control*
Device Mode maps your 8 encoders to the 8 remote control knobs of any selected plugin page – filter cutoff, attack, dry/wet and more, all hands-on.
🌐 *Full browser control without a mouse*
Search filters, result column, confirm and cancel – the entire Bitwig browser is navigable from your controller using Browser Mode.
💾 *Options remember your last mode*
The Options field saves the active mode across Bitwig restarts and controller reconnects
🎹 *Mod Wheel as an 8-encoder bank*
By mapping your Mod Wheel to 8 separate MIDI channels, each assigned to a different Set Value, you effectively create a multi-encoder setup from a single wheel.
🖤 *Black keys as smart shortcuts*
Assign C#, D#, F#, G# and A# per MIDI channel to handle page switching, device switching and remote page toggling – fast and ergonomic.
💼 *Multiple configs for different scenarios*
Save separate controller entries for live performance, production, arranging and mixing – switch between them by simply deactivating one script and activating another.
