Erae2Wiggler: a clip launcher preset (alpha) for Bitwig

Erae 2 Wiggler is a collection of javascripts with the goal of using the Embodme Erae 2 as a control surface for my most used functions in Bitwig Studio, including the to-date still missing clip launcher.
Notes of caution
As this is a quite noobish attempt of coding in javascript (I started at zero knowledge, basically):
consider this alpha software
Don't use it in live-situations as there seems to be a problem where Bitwig suddenly sees Sysex messages as MIDI notes, therefore breaking the clip launching until restarted
there will be no support whatsoever
Only tested on Linux (to some extend)
please be kind: these scripts are most certainly neither clean, elegant, efficient nor bug-free
only can work with the corresponding Erae Lab Project which the scripts are designed to be used in tandem with. Check the Embodme forums, please (many things are hard coded, such as positions of GUI elements etc....)
only tested on Erae 2 so far (maybe works on Erae Touch nonetheless)
for GUI feedback and such, these scripts utilise the lower note values and some CC-numbers on MIDI channel 16. This could clash with your existing setup
Installation
Download the .erproj Erae Project and the js-files.
Push the .erproj-file to your Erae via the Erae Lab software.
Connect your Erae via USB with your computer and turn it on.
Launch Bitwig Studio.
On Linux, there is a chance of the device being auto connected. Otherwise, your Erae will be selectable under "Embodme > Erae 2" in Bitwig Studio's controller settings.
Set the first MIDI-input and the MIDI-output to the Eraes USB MIDI interface. The second input should be used for the MPE connection.
Good luck, have fun :)
For an overview of the pages and functions, as well as the used CCs and note values please check the documentation-pdf.
Known issues
There seems to be a problem, where Bitwig suddenly sees sysex messages as MIDI notes, therefore breaking the clip launching until restarted (more investigation is necessary, to determine if this is a bug in the script, or a poblem with Bitwig or the device).
