Install the scripts in the Bitwig User directory:
- Windows:
%USER%/Documents\Bitwig Studio\Controller Scripts
- Mac:
~/Documents/Bitwig Studio/Controller Scripts
- Linux:
~/Documents/Bitwig Studio/Controller Scripts
Here is the documentation for each controller.
The first fix is that the script passes the notes played by the pads correctly to the instrument. In the original script, only the keys were recorded into the track.
The script is based on MPK Mini factory preset #1. These presets can be downloaded from Akai website and loaded with the Preset Editor.

The Tap Tempo pad is an implementation borrowed from StyleMistake since BitWig does not provide a TapTempo method. It takes 5 taps to update the song tempo.
