New Features

  • Added a control for the visual strength of timeline Grid Lines (under Dashboard > Settings > User Interface > Contrast)

Improvements

  • Filter+ and Sweep (Filter) devices: The Wet Gain parameter (for volume correction) has been moved to the front panel of the device, between the Pre FX and Post FX chains

  • CLAP plug-ins: Added missing track info implementation
  • Windows: No more firewall popup messages

Fixes

  • Audio was not stretched in some cases when Onset Threshold was set above zero [34016]
  • Mixer improvements:
    • Vertical resizing of mixer faders now sets the requested size, but it can still be made smaller from outer constrains (like available window space)
    • Mini-display for EQ+ is shown properly in track inspector
    • Drum machine chains now consistently show level meters in mixer view [34220]
    • [SHIFT]-dragging a group track on the right border of the track will now resize all tracks at that level [34179]

    • Left level meter in mixer track is no longer thinner than the right one on non-retina screens [34231]
  • Arranger loop control improvements [34227]:
    • [CTL]-click ([CMD]-click on Mac) adjusts the loop end time
    • [CTL]-[SHIFT]-click ([CMD]-[SHIFT]-click on Mac) adjusts the loop end
    • Dragging within the current Arranger loop moves it
    • Clicking outside the current Arranger loop changes the loop start time, but not the length
    • Dragging outside the current Arranger loop — or [CTL]-dragging ([CMD]-dragging on Mac) within the current Arranger loop — draws a new loop region
  • Segment (Envelope) modulator and Grid module: Loop Mode buttons now work correctly via touch [32850]
  • Reciprocal (Math) Grid module: Original setting for Stereo-ness is now Mono
  • Reciprocal, Invert (Math), Octaver, Ratio, and Transpose (Pitch) Grid modules: Default value for Stereo-ness parameter is now Mono

  • Filter+ and Sweep (Filter) devices: Filter modulation attenuators now visibly update on enable/disable, even after the filters have been swapped
  • Fixed a crash when zooming in/out via control surface [33981]
  • VST Plug-ins: Show automated parameters only option now consistently updates the list when automation is added [33853]
  • [SHIFT]-[X] shortcut did not work when assigned to Cut Time [33818]

Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.1, Beta 6 [released 15 November 2023]

Improvements

  • Audio onsets are now hidden when they are not being used for playback (because they are below your Onset Threshold value for the event)
    • In the Onset view, inactive onsets are still shown but dimmed

Fixes

  • Fixed a crash when showing the Secondary Mixer Panel below the Arranger (a regression in beta 5) [34266]
  • Certain feedback situations were bouncing poorly and causing other mischief [34316]
  • Dragging pitch expression points slowly now works again [34299]
  • Arranger loop improvements:
    • Better mouse cursors for adjusting loop length
    • Same modifiers are allowed while dragging as with clicking
  • Setting the metronome level works correctly again (a regression in beta 5)
  • Selecting tracks in the Arranger changes focus in the layered editor again (a regression) [34323]

  • 2 weeks later...

Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.1, Beta 7 [released 24 November 2023]

New Features

  • Stack Spread (Voice Stacking) modulator: Now visualizes each voice's effective modulation amount in the Inspector Panel
    • Hovering over an individual voice in the Inspector pops up a tooltip with a numeric representation
  • Controller script added for Native Instruments's Maschine Mikro Mk3

Improvements

  • Dialogs can now be freely dragged around the application window
    • This includes Quantize Audio, Slice to Drum Machine, Slice to Multisample, and Slice to Sampler, which can preview onto timeline content in the background window
  • Mixer improvements:
    • Track headers now default to Fill header backgrounds, which can be disabled by right-clicking in the mixer view toggle area (to the left of the track volume faders)
    • Stronger icons for the Clear Arm, Clear Mute, and Clear Solo buttons
  • Automation recording of continuous parameters has been improved, only writing a flat line when no input has been received for a short period of time (resulting in smoother automation curves being recorded)
  • On device interfaces that use icons on either side of a knob, the icons can now be clicked to set either extreme value. This applies to:
    • Vibrato (LFO) modulator, for Waveshape parameter
    • Random (LFO) modulator and S/H LFO (Random) Grid module, for Smoothing and Feedback / Correlation parameters
    • LFO (LFO) modulator, for Waveform Tilt and Waveform Curve parameters
    • Beat LFO (LFO) modulator, for Rate, Waveform Tilt, and Waveform Curve parameters

Fixes

  • Fixed potential application and audio engine crashes when some controllers are connected [34450]
  • Solo as Cue: Cued channels are now properly delay compensated [33363]
  • Editing clip automation after splitting a clip was not working correctly [34257]
  • When tweaking a volume slider in Mixer View, the mouse cursor no longer jumps to the left on release [34390]
  • Stack Spread (Voice Stacking) modulator: Random modes no longer constantly update in True Mono [34318]
  • Instrument Layer and FX Layer (Container) devices: Take advantage of more parallel processing opportunities when EQ+ is present [34437]
  • Arpeggiator (Note FX) device: Rate parameter is now sample-accurate [34232]
  • Merge & Split (Mix) Grid modules: Now Wrap properly on the edges of the range [34259]
  • Random (LFO) modulator: Respects the Bipolar setting, even when a negative Feedback value is set [34128]
  • Poly Grid (The Grid) device: Fixed a rare case with broken audio on export or bounce [34181]
  • Fixed some crashes and/or erratic behavior of deactivated Grid modules when reactivating them after voice stacking was enabled [34242]
  • Setting the track modulator's note source works correctly with the output of a device [33463]
  • Instrument glide always tracks the last note now, even in Digi Mono mode [34217]
  • Clip Launcher: Quantize to Loop is working correctly again [33001]
  • When recording automation in a loop on the Arranger, sometimes automation was deleted in the loop region when recording near the loop jump [34352]
  • Copying a track with a CC automation lane was sometimes creating bipolar automation on the new track [34322]
  • DAWproject: Loops were not imported correctly for audio clips (a regression) [34414]
  • Plug-ins: Routing to multiple MIDI channels directly was broken (a regression) [34140]
