Bitwig Studio 5 is released!

Tell you what.

I was singing the praises for Bitwig in that beta thread, but someone sold me Studio One Pro 6 for $85 (for some reason) and it might be bye bye Bitwig now. At least for mixing.

It is, however, absolutely in its own league, by a long shot, when it comes to plugin performance and MPE support.

If I get that, will I get a free upgrade to essentials? 

Maybe...  here's what I'm seeing

You'll get v5.0 and its features - but it still comes up as 8-Track.
Maybe they haven't got the full upgrade/conversion ready yet... 

Edit: that's assuming that everything (all the bells & whistles) is/are not already there in all but the name.
I'm not going to bother (at the moment) to dive in and verify if it's missing anything based the link below.

I don't have the time so I'll leave that to some other OCD forum member.

if you upgrade from old version can you still use old version?

Yes - they install in separate folders (at least by default).

Create a short cut to old version and change name slightly - like 'BitWig 4'.
Install new version and create a short cut to it and you'll easily be able to launch either one.

Bitwig Studio 5.0.3 - another prerelease...
Probably why it doesn't show up as an update within my 5.01 but shows up on web site.

I think there is a configuration option for showing pre releases , but I am not 100% sure.
