    They changed the banner slightly. Looks like 2.5 is coming. :cool:

    1810_WinterSale_25_B.png

    In Bitwig land, that means a major update.

    Edit: They removed the banner with 2.5 on it. :dunno:

    "For Bitwig Studio 2.5, we chose a few select features that were either requested or inspired by our community (that’s you). Some features lean toward performance. Others streamline audio editing. And a few help you find what you need faster. Like a good seasonal gathering, there is a little something for everyone so take a plate and dig in."

    Highlights:



      • Clip blocks
      • Audio slide
      • New device: Note FX selector
      • Better finding, zippier interface
      • New sound content: Analog Waves
    Beta Testing of Bitwig Studio 2.5
    Bitwig Studio 2.5 is now in beta for all users with an active Upgrade Plan. Happy testing, y'all!

    NOTE: Do not use a beta version to work on important projects! Project files created or saved with the beta cannot be opened in previous versions of Bitwig Studio. And as this is a pre-release version, please refrain from publishing videos of it.

    If you think you have found a bug, please drop us a line at [email protected]. Please be sure to include:

    • steps to reproduce the issue
    • operating system
    • audio interface and any other hardware information
    • (bonus) whether this is a new issue in v2.5
    And if you get a crash report dialog from the program, please click Send Report. Adding a comment is most helpful, but this can still be useful to us regardless.

    Many thanks! We are grateful for your continued support and sweet grooves.

    System Requirements
    • Windows - Windows 7, 8, or 10 (all in 64-bit)
    • Mac - macOS 10.11 ("El Capitan") or above
    • Linux - Ubuntu 17.04 or later
    What's New in Bitwig Studio 2.5
    New features
    • Slide-content editing gesture, for shifting the content of clips from the Arranger Panel (and audio events from the Detail Editor Panel)
    • Concept of clip blocks, for addressing different groups of Launcher clips with new Next Action options
    • New device: Note FX Selector, for setting up multiple note FX layers and dynamically switching between them
    Improvements
    • Optimizations on Mac, providing much improved application launch time and better overall performance
    • When dragging the start or end of Arranger audio clips, contained audio events that overlap are also adjusted
    • Changing the tempo of audio events via the clip inspector also resizes the clip
    • Follow Playback option is now set locally within each timeline editor panel
    • Can now zoom to the current selection by pressing the Z key (pressing it a second time zooms out to the full length of the current editor)
    • Zooming in and out is faster in the Arranger Timeline Panel
    • When audio files are added to the arrangement as Raw audio, clip length matches the audio file
    • When searching in either Browser, closer matches are sorted to the top of the results
    • Quicker scanning of plug-ins, including less chance that plug-ins will show dialogs during scanning
    • Ability to filter out plug-ins that exist in different versions (by preferring 64 bit over 32 bit, and/or VST 3 over VST 2) in either Browser
    • Option to temporarily show filtered plug-ins in either Browser
    • Added numerous functions (available as user-defined shortcuts) for navigating and controlling your arrangement
    • All selector devices (Instrument Selector, FX Selector, Note FX Selector) now display which layers are currently active and which are suspended
    • Record buttons in the Clip Launcher Panel are now shown in red
    • AKAI APC40 mkII: added option to "scroll by pages" as default (making "scroll by one track" the option when holding SHIFT)
    Fixes
    • Clip scaling actions (such as Scale 50% and Scale 200%) also scale the clip's loop bracket and start/stop markers
    • Event snapping in the audio editor is improved when snapping to event boundaries
    • Sustain pedal data is now properly imported from MIDI files
    • MIDI clock is no longer offset when pre-roll is in use
    • The note editor was sometimes unavailable after opening a project

      Note to self: I was wrong about the major update, let this be a lesson on how assumptions can and do go wrong.


      Incremental update Bitwig style, third this year, with the last one 3 months ago.

    Wish they could implement retrospective record (such as Capture in Ableton). Secondly, a way to stretch multiple notes selection, is also missing badly. Thirdly, a way to patternize clips: letting you add arbitrarily selected clips into a pattern, and then arrange your patterns into a song.

    I have a long list of stuff I want too but capture and stretching MIDI is not on it. Can you imagine being the Bitwig team?

    Arbitrarily selected clips into a pattern, while that sounds interesting, why don't you just drag them into the pattern you want? I mean even if you just want to test stuff out, you can copy them and play around all you want. Or?

    • Fixed mono sidechain input in plug-ins
    • Saving a multisample file on top of itself could result in data loss in some situations
    • Initial launch of a freshly recorded Launcher clip could be incorrectly timed
    • macOS: window content appears shifted by the height of the title bar in some old VST plug-ins with Carbon GUI
    • Dragging a project into a project which has fewer scenes than the one being dragged may crash the application

    i found Ableton easier to learn as FL, thats why i chose Ableton over FL (i used FL like 5 years before, before i made the switch to ableton)

    Bitwig looks now great for sampling, Abletons audio handling is weak in a few parts, but i use Kontakt anyway to play with samples.

    Changes in Bitwig Studio 2.5.1, RC 1 [released 15 Mar 2019]

    Fixes
    • Control scripts that don't require any hardware (eg MIDI or USB) don't automatically start when added
    • Plug-ins that incorrectly list their parameters with non-unique IDs (like BeatSkillz Slam Pro) don't work correctly
    • Controller visualizations shown in the status bar may not always show the correct value when the parameter is changed in the Biwig Studio user interface
    • Stereo Split Device is -6dB too quiet
    • The timing on some modulation routings would be one processing buffer late
    Regression Fixes
    • Value displays for plug-in parameters not updated on controllers in 2.5 if the parameter is not currently visible in the parameter list in the device chain
    • Some very old projects that were create in 1.1.x where the user had copied the master track into a nested track group's track list meant that the project could not open in 2.3.x or later

    Fixes
    • Reduce loading time and memory usage for some VST 3 plug-ins
    • Undoing the move of a scene could result in a broken layout of the arranger clip launcher if some scenes had a custom width
    • Sliding content does not work correctly on reversed audio events
    • Reordering scenes in a nested track results in a broken clip launcher layout
    • Crash in Maschine JAM script when stepping through parameter pages of DRC VST plugin
    Regression Fixes
    • Rare crash in 2.5.1 RC 1 when using the popup browser inside a nested device

    Changes in Bitwig Studio 2.5.1, RC 3 [released 29 Mar 2019]

    Improvements
    • On Linux and Windows don't show errors found when trying to treat a shared library as a plug-in if it is just a normal shared library and not a plug-in
    Fixes
    • Some VST 3 parameters did not update in their plugin window when they were automated or modulated

      Hopefully this it. 2.5.1 then on to 3.0. :winker:

    Changes in Bitwig Studio 2.5.1, RC 4 [released 5 April 2019]

    Improvements
    • Plugins that don't report begin and end edit of parameters (e.g when clicking with the mouse in the plug-in window) now simulate the begin and end enabling touch automation to work
    • Improve the error messages when we find problems scanning plug-ins so they don't contain a lot of redundant information
    • If plug-in incorrectly reports latency and io bus changes all the time then ignore these to avoid audio drop outs
    Fixes
    • If a VST 3 plug-in parameter was modulated it was hard to edit it inside the plug-in window as it jumped while you tried to edit it
    Regression Fixes
    • In 2.5.1 RC 3 VST 3 parameters that were marked as not automatable had no audible effect when clicked in the plug-in window
    • In 2.5.1 RC 3 Some 32 bit only plugins on macOS could not be scanned

      and another one
