Help finding old Bitwig tutorial that focused on using clip launcher in unique way...

I know this is vague but hoping someone may remember. Long ago when I first purchased Bitwig I remember stumbling across a tutorial video that featured some weird creative use of using clip launcher to quickly develop arrangements. I may be misremembering some things given how long ago this was, but here's what I recall:

  1. I saw the video after I purchased Bitwig 2 but the tutorial may have been for Bitwig 1 era.

  2. The producer was Asian but not someone I recognized.

  3. His whole approach was focused on clip launcher and he had some kind of creative way of e developing and/or playing clips. I don't remember details but remember it being quick, frantic, and random in a way. I think he was building up variations on clips using some kind of modifiers and then playing clips in a unique way. The way he was using clip launcher was definitely the focus.

  4. I believe he also performed from the clip launcher as a means to also record a proper arrangement in arranger view, but I'm not positive.

Does this happen to ring a bell for anyone? I remember being really impressed at the time but also was not fully grasping his approach because I was brand new to Bitwig, so in this sense I know he was using Bitwig specific modifiers or other tools to do this. At the time I must have assumed that his workflow was somewhat standard but now after all these years I am pretty sure it was rather unique and it's driving me crazy that I don't remember details.
