Hi guys! I am the Kit Maker dev. I would love to add Bitwig as a format, but it seems that it is an encrypted preset type that I cannot recreate directly. However, you can use the "Numbered Files" format in Kit Maker, which makes folders of kits that can be imported into Bitwig. It is not a direct preset, but you can select the contents of any kit folder and drag to the Bitwig drum pads and it fills up the pads with the kit.
The files are numbered (1-kick.wav, 2-snare.wav etc) , so the samples will automatically fill the pads in the pad layout you choose in Kit Maker. You can also overwrite the kit with a different kit to hear different sounds on your pattern. Just drag another kit's files to the pads again. If you do want direct presets, you can save the kits in Bitwig as presets if you want to keep them for later.
Ive begun making a webpage to show this for Bitwig. I need to create Bitwig specific designs and make a video demonstration. I can also add the useful info for the Ableton workaround that you guys have mentioned!

Although the Numbered Files method of kits isnt as perfect as direct presets, it still may help users speed up their kit making, especially if you don't have Ableton to do that workaround.
You can also use the Numbered files on lots of other DAWs: Logic, Maschine, Reason (Kong), Bitwig Studio, Koala Sampler, Roland SP404 MK2, Geist 2, Groove Agent SE 5, iMPC 2 (iOS), Circuit Rhythm, Circuit Tracks

Below is a GIF of how to import the numbered files from a kit folder (the gif is also at the bottom of the link above, if this img URL breaks in the future)
I have made a bunch of kits using the Numbered Files output. I am finding a Maschine kit i am interested in, then all i do is drag contents of the kit folder to the pads. It fills the whole kit correctly.
