    Fixes
    • Audio system fixes:
      • Fixed an issue where some users had no audio output set when upgrading to v5.3
      • If a configuration was saved with no Speakers and no Headphones, the program now sets an output path as Speakers and enables it
        • In all cases, active monitoring paths are set in the Output Monitoring Panel
      • When creating a new audio track, an input choice is provided (and updated when switching audio configurations) [37679]
      • Fixed a rare crash when showing the context menu for an audio buss [37719]
      • Fixed a crash when opening some audio devices (for example, if the driver reports a sample rate of, um, zero) [37728]
      • Safety fix for an application crash [37715]

    Improvements
    • Echo (Note FX) device: added a Maximum Voice parameter, to limit the number of notes used for echoes
    • Toggle In and Toggle Out (Mix) Grid modules: Now apply a short crossfade on switch (matching the Toggle module) [37796]
    • CLAP plug-ins: implemented mini curve display
    Fixes
    • MIDI file export now includes time-signature and tempo automation, as well as MIDI track automation of channel parameters (including sustain pedal)
    • v8 Hat & v0 Hat (Hi-hat), and v8 Cymbal (Cymbal): Each have an adjusted gain level to better match their drum family
      • Projects or user presets saved previously will function as they did previously, with an Update button to switch to the new gain level
      • Factory content using these devices has been updated as well
    • v9 Snare (Snare) instrument: Velocity smoothing is improved (so quiet notes don't pop anymore) [37734]
    • Stepwise (Note FX): Using a Length of 1 in Pulse mode now works [8675309]
    • Toggle (Mix) module: No longer forces a short fade at voice start [37673]
    • EQ+, EQ-5, EQ-2 (EQ) devices: Modulation of Q is now visible (even when Frequency is not being modulated) [37139]
    • EQ-2 (EQ) device: Duplicating a layer containing an EQ-2 device no longer results in an inactive layer [37684]
    • Fixed relative pitch range and starting point for drum devices [37787]
    • Fixes note expression playback, where the end of a note sometimes cut out early [37787]
    • Touch: Is now possible to fold out chains as tracks in Mix View (a regression) [37520]
    • Mixer tracks were misaligned at minimal track width, and fader at -∞, at 100% interface scaling [37705]
    • Plug-ins: Fixed some dropouts and sound issues when rendering (for example, with Valhalla plug-ins) [37803]
    • Plug-ins: Fixed a crash while rendering a plug-in hosted within a plug-in host [37810]
    • DAWproject: Automation points with time defined as seconds are now imported correctly

    Improvements
    • Audio systems like Jack and PipeWire now allow defining permanent named busses that appear on the Bitwig Studio node
      • User can route these as desired with patching programs (like qjackctl, Helvum, etc.)
    • Various, general modulator improvements:
      • Default (double-click) values more often match the loaded settings
      • Better range and polarity of signal scopes (Audio Sidechain & Envelope Follower; MIDI; ADSR, AHDSR & AHD on Release), and more consistent GUIs in various mono cases
      • Some modulators with panels (like Quantize and Sample and Hold) now have POLY buttons — for toggling the Per-voice setting within the interface
      • Help notes and explanations added for modulators without a POLY button but with a Per-voice toggle in the Inspector Panel
    • Control Surface API is now version 21 (adding support for timeline scrolling and zooming, etc.)
    Fixes
    • Audio system fixes:
      • Fix occasional crash when using certain interfaces [37698]
      • macOS: Is better at getting a stable block size, even when Core Audio isn't cooperating [37948]
      • macOS: Fixed random engine crashes with certain interfaces when changing block size [37934]
      • Linux PipeWire: Fixed a random crash at engine startup [37877]
    • Master Recording fixes:
      • Now uses the bit depth of the Recording Resolution setting (in Dashboard > Settings > Recording > Created Audio)
      • Clicking the Show Project's Master Recording button (folder icon) now opens the Browser Panel when it was closed [37843]
    • Turning a clip's Do next action off always works now [37850]
    • v9 Hat Closed (Hi-hat), etc.: No longer sounds different with different note pitches (while Keytracking Mode is off) [37838]
    • Mixer (Mix) Grid module: Panning function is working correctly again (a regression) [37882]
    • Overriding Launcher automation for boolean parameters (like a Button modulator) now works on the first state change [37738]
    • Copy/paste of clips with FX track send automation with [CTRL]-[C]/[V] ([CMD]-[C]/[V] on macOS) works properly [29871]
    • Sequenced MIDI event matchers for absolute hardware controls don't work correctly [37916]
    • Plug-ins: Now properly applies latency changes for plug-ins that don't produce audio
    • CLAP: update to CLAP 1.2.6 and implements stacked mini curves display

    Fixes
    • Micro-pitch (Note FX) device: Interval setting in EDO mode now shows modulation [36215]
    • SF2 files now show up in Favorites and Collections when added [36849]
    • Fixed a random crash in the Detail Editor Panel (a regression) [37990]
    • Windows: Encoding and decoding of MP3 work again (a regression) [37992, 37991]
    • Linux PipeWire: Stereo audio pairs are better detected [37746]
