Bitwig Studio is a playground for modulation and sound design, and vocals often arrive late in that process — after the arrangement has already grown three extra sections. LyricsRunnerVST keeps the singer oriented by scrolling the lyric sheet straight from the Bitwig transport.
Plugin folder: Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 — macOS: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3 — Linux: ~/.vst3
Add it as an FX device on the vocal track or on the master — audio passes through untouched, so device order never changes your tone.
Paste the whole lyric sheet in one go. Blank lines become section breaks, which is handy when a Bitwig arrangement has grown a second bridge.
Park the playhead on the first sung word and set the start marker. Scroll position then follows the Bitwig timeline, tempo automation included.
Pop the device window out and drag it to a second screen or a TV facing the vocalist. Bitwig remembers the layout with the project.
Yes. It loads as a VST3 FX device in Bitwig Studio 4 and 5 and takes its position from the Bitwig transport.
Open Dashboard → Settings → Locations, make sure your VST3 folder is listed, then hit Rescan. A full restart of Bitwig clears any stale cache.
It does. Position is read from the timeline rather than a fixed scroll speed, so tempo automation and time signature changes are followed automatically.
