What's New in Version 2

New Features and Updates
• • A re-conceptualized Modulation System
  • Numerous device updates, including dynamic displays, and spectrum analyzers
  • Remote controls
  • Fades and crossfades
  • VST3 support
  • Better hardware integration
  • Smart tool switching
  • Improved editor workflow
  • MIDI timecode support
  • New menu system
  • Dashboard
  • Notification system
  • Adjustable track height in arranger
  • Controller API improvements

New Modulators
• • 4-Stage: Advanced envelope that can be synced to tempo and looped
  • ADSR: Inspired by and modelled on old analog classic synth envelopes
  • AHDSR: Attack-Hold-Decay-Sustain-Release envelope with slope settings
  • Audio Sidechain: Allows you to use any audio input (in the track or external) as a modulation source
  • Beat LFO: A simple yet powerful beat-synced LFO with expressive controls for wave shape and timing
  • Button: A simple button to control any parameter
  • Buttons: Two buttons, freely assignable to any parameter
  • Classic LFO: A highly configurable LFO with numerous available waveforms and polyphonic capabilities
  • Envelope Follower: An envelope modulator controlled by audio input
  • Expressions: Assign up to four expressions (velocity, timbre, release, pressure) to any parameter in your device chain
  • HW CV In: Modulate parameters in Bitwig Studio 2 from hardware via CV using this Modulator
  • Keytrack: Modulate any parameter by key of incoming notes, with curve settings
  • Macro-4: Four macro knobs in one modulator
  • Macro: A simple macro knob
  • Math: A choice of adding, subtracting, multiplying or min/max-ing two parameters
  • LFO: A free-running LFO that can be shaped in many ways
  • MIDI: Allows you to modulate any parameter using MIDI CC, Pitch Bend or Aftertouch data from an external source
  • Mix: Control a parameter with two faders and a crossfader to create complex interconnecting relationships
  • Note Sidechain: Allows you to use any note input as a modulation source
  • Random: Useful for giving a parameter a random value every time you play a note, at a given time interval or to provide some smooth sweeping chaos
  • Select-4: Select-4 is a morphing modulator, letting you set four stages, with each stage modulating any number of parameters – you can then morph between the four stages using a fader
  • Steps: Modulate any parameter with a step sequencer – you can set speed, number of steps, and direction
  • Vector-4: An X/Y matrix where each of the four corners can be assigned to control any parameter
  • Vector-8: Similar to Vector-4 but with eight assignable points
  • XY: Assign each axis to any parameter and use as a X/Y pad with great expressive potential

New Devices
• • Audio FX
    • Spectrum analyzer: Delivers a visual representation of the audio material you feed it – allows for a freely selectable secondary input, so you can directly compare the frequency graph of two separate audio sources
    • Pitch Shifter: Shifts your pitch up or down one octave, with precise fine-tune and grain control
    • Treemonster: Organic zero-crossing amplitude controlled ring modulator with a life of its own
    • Phaser: High-quality phaser, by popular demand
    • Dual Pan: Control panning for individual channels of a stereo signal
    • DC Offset: A utility device to add DC offset to an audio signal, for instance to generate audio signals from modulation
  • Note Effects
    • Multi-Note: This chorder device will generate up to 7 notes based on the note you send into it, with pitch and velocity settings
    • Note Echo: Allows you to get creative with note echoes and loops
    • Note Harmonizer: Transpose your notes in real-time to harmonize with a chord playing on another track
    • Note Latch: The Note Latch device will simply hold any note you send into it until it receives the next note - or until you click its stop button
    • Note Length: This device will transform all notes to a defined length and velocity – in its second mode, it can generate a fixed-length note when the key is released
    • Note Velocity: Transform velocity on incoming notes using a curve and use modulators for some dynamic velocity effects
  • Hardware Integration Devices
    • MIDI CC: This device can be used to send CC data to external hardware or plug-ins – add it to a HW Instrument device to get instant access to your hardware's parameters
    • MIDI Program Change: As the name implies, this device allows you to control program changes of your hardware or VST plug-ins from Bitwig Studio
    • MIDI Song Select: A device used to send MIDI song select messages to external devices, for instance to change patterns on a drum machine
    • HW Clock Out: Using the HW CV Clock device you can send CV clock to audio outputs, with individual time settings
    • HW CV Instrument: Use this device to send notes as CV and gate to an output on your audio interface, to control analog synths, Eurorack modules and other hardware
    • HW CV Out: This is a simple device to send a CV signal to an output on your audio interface
