• Continue / From Start continue_or_from_start - Plays relative to the playing clips position, of if nothing playing, from the clip start

• Continue / Synced continue_or_synced - Plays relative to the playing clips position, of if nothing playing, from the transport position

• Synced synced - Starts relative to global transport position

Launch Launch - Launch the chosen clip slot

Select Select - Places the Bitwig Clip Launcher cursor on the chosen clip slot

Stop Stop - Stop the chosen clip slot's playback

Record Record - Begin recording on the chosen clip slot

Color Color - The color in RGB of the launcher clip

Play Start Playstart - The start position of the launcher clip in quarter-notes

Play Stop Playstop - The stop position of the launcher clip in quarter-notes

Loop Enabled Loopenabled - Indicates if playback looping is enabled for the chosen launcher clip

Loop Length Looplength - The launcher clip's loop length in quarter-notes

Shuffle Shuffle - Indicates if the clip's shuffle mode is active.

Accent Accent - Indicates the clip's accent value.

Parameters - Callbacks Page

Enable Callbacks Enablecallbacks - Enables the clip launcher callbacks associated with this COMP.

Callback DAT Callbackdat - A reference to the Text DAT containing the callbacks for this COMP

Print Callbacks Printcallbacks - When enabled, callback information will be printed to the text port as they are called.

Parameters - TDBitwig Page

TDBitwig Comp Tdbitwigcomp - A reference to the Bitwig Main COMP

Connect Connect - A toggle to manually enable or disable listeners associated with this COMP.

Listener Index Listenerindex - The index of the Cursor object which this COMP is communicating with.

Debug Messages Debugmessages - Print information about extension method calls for the Component

Timeslice OSC Chop Timesliceoscchop - If timeslice is enabled, the OSC Chop will cook every frame. If disabled, OSC Chop will cook only during changes, but cook time may be longer. Using time slice for performance optimization will usually depend on the particular use case.

Strip CHOP Name Prefixes Stripchopnameprefixes - Strip off the given number of address segments in the output CHOP channel names

Name Channel Prefix Namechannelprefix - If enabled, the output CHOP channel names will include with the name of the currently selected Track object. Otherwise, the channel names will begin with the integer index of the Cursor this COMP is connected to.
