I hired Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges for this one.Bitwig tells us that it's time to Welcome Bitwig Studio version 4. Or to put it another way, as far as what makes Bitwig different… well, since people routinely complain that I don’t produce enough videos, fine. But yeah, dealing with Berlin winter blues by toying around with Bitwig? Being able to do so on my Linux partition as well as my Mac and Windows. It’s almost a time when instead of dreading it, you’d actually love it if someone said you had a deadline to write a DAW round-up.

But for synth lovers, it’s lovely to see Bitwig stake out its out particular territory.Īnd in stark contrast to the DAW leapfrog of past decades, we really are at a time when each DAW is more like a unique custom studio full of toys and tools than it is a clone of another. It’s not the only DAW-as-synth-studio, surely – Reason, for instance, does that with a totally different workflow. The version 3 series has really brought it into that light – but Polymer starts to make that modular power accessible to synth users. For a long time, I really hoped to see Bitwig Studio act as a fully non-linear DAW with modular building blocks, and for it to be seen that way rather than just in regards to a certain other DAW it tends to resemble. Micro-pitch now lets you divide any musical interval into more slices, too.Ĭheck out the beta now, and expect a finished release sometime in the fourth quarter, say Bitwig: It’s like easing for modulation – this almost makes me wish Bitwig made a VJ tool, too: Modulation lets you scale each modulation routing separately with a modulator (in addition to being able to scale the whole modulator with another modulator).
Bitwig studio manual mod#
This one can use the mod wheel, poly pressure, or other manual input. There’s a new Vibrato modulation – which is not the LFO that was there before. (Feels very DP to me, somehow, actually.) Control and modulation Con vib.! This is cute – the Project Panel has a Sections page that lets you jump by scenes or cues so you have a better overview of music structure. You can also fade and adjust gain from inside a clip (see the animations on their site), which is becoming more a standard way of working in DAWs and even video editors and neatly implemented here. Scale stuff in the timeline directly (finally, like in some other DAWs) – even by typing in a percentage (that isn’t so common in other DAWs).

Full Serum and WaveEdit support, plus 120 wavetables there already and – there’s a lot of nice stuff here, but mainly I love this visualization, right? Love that pretty Wavetable visualization in its browser.Īlso new in the Grid, thanks to Polymer – there’s a new Sub oscillator, Pan, Octaver, and Velo Mult. Also coming to that modular environment is a handy, easy-to-understand wavetable module you can toss into any patch.
Wavetable in the Grid, modular environment.
Bitwig studio manual Patch#
So to flip it around and think of it another way, Polymer is a big friendly macro patch that shows you how you can build your own instruments in the fully modular Poly Grid that lurks behind Bitwig Studio’s interface.
So you can layer this with Voice Stacking, use Groups, dive into the modules with Poly Grid… unique stuff. Sort of like that.īut there’s now a very distinctive Bitwig workflow here that isn’t really directly comparable to anything else. Imagine if someone made a tool with the sound range of Massive, Pigments, or Serum, but put it in a tiny little color-coded interface and inside it was like a Reaktor patch. So you can use it as a straightforward synth (in a variety of modes), a semi-modular, or as a useful starting point to a full-blown modular patch. Polymer – at the bottom, its elegant, simple UI. But swap out modules, and it suddenly becomes FM/PM, PWM, phase distortion (Casio!), and now wavetable. Want a simple subtractive synth? This is that. Polymer is a rather elegant synth they call “hybrid modular.” It’s a clean, compact semi-modular, but because it’s built with Bitwig’s modules, you can open it up and it becomes a full modular.
