Buttclap
July 5, 2026 · View on GitHub
Same idea as Buttplug for Live realized as CLAP – meaning it can run even on Steamdeck in Bitwig.
Building
After installing Rust, you can compile Buttclap as follows:
cargo xtask bundle buttclap --release
Usage
Requires Intiface® Central v3.
- App Mode: Engine
MIDI NoteOn events trigger "Sample&Hold" of the Level param which can be modulated or remote controlled with any frequency. Actual update frequency clock can be one note clip playing in a short loop, or any other MIDI generator.
Troubleshooting
Run DAW with NICE_LOG env var to enable logging.
Build without --release flag to increase verbosity.
NICE_LOG=~/nice.log /var/lib/flatpak/app/com.bitwig.BitwigStudio/current/active/files/bitwig-studio
