Custom Scripting Engine
Almost all features are creating using individual "mods" written in Javascript. Currently undocumented, but if you can code you can probably work this out. Lockpick looks in your Bitwig user folder (default is ~/Bitwig Studio/Lockpick/Mods on Mac) for custom scripts. Check out the source of the default mods as a reference.
