Good evening everybody,

Bitwig Studio 1.1.6 RC-2 is available for download on http://www.bitwig.com/en/bitwig-studio/ ... idate.html.

IMPROVED - Controller script for CME Xkey.
IMPROVED - Allow the note receiver device to receive the note output of devices and not just tracks.
FIXED - Adding a raw audio clip from browser results in wrong length of the clip.
FIXED - Buttons not responding in activation popup dialogs.
FIXED - MIDI CC data not imported with MIDI clips.
FIXED - VST parameters are not restored when assigning a preset to a nested chain.
FIXED - Solo, routings, sends and browser preview became slow in large projects.
FIXED - Unwanted thinning of events when duplicating or copy-pasting automation regions.
FIXED - Changing track mute during session recording makes the track output remain silent even when not muted.
FIXED - Devices with certain modulation routings broke the document graph, causing solo to stop working and output to crackle.
FIXED - Crash when recording automation on the arranger using the WRITE mode in 1.1.6 RC1.
FIXED - On Linux and some keyboard layouts pressing certain modifiers (like Alt-Gr) could stop keyboard shortcuts from working.
FIXED - When extending end of raw audio event beyond the maximum length of the event, the successive event might be partially erased.
FIXED - Resetting frequency parameter of comb device resets to lower value than actually possible.

Please use this thread only to comment on the listed bug-fixes and improvements, and for discussing new issues that might have been introduced with this version.

Hope you enjoy the changes. Cheers!

Volker

IMPROVED - Allow the note receiver device to receive the note output of devices and not just tracks.

as I see it detects only those devices(and VSTs) which ones have active MIDI-out, so the minimal device which it can detect that's the disabled Note Filter device, it's working beautifully (from nested devices too) so just wondering what was the main concept behind it

FIXED - MIDI CC data not imported with MIDI clips.

Some great points here on the change log. Can't test it yet but nevertheless: THANKS!

Not sure what the original usecase was, but i've found that it's handy for grabbing the note output from e.g. an Arpeggiator device that's nested inside a modulator device (LFO MOD, STEP MOD etc). One of my main issues with BWS is that nesting a Note FX device inside a modulator device will block its note output (this really needs to be addressed soon, imo), but this new addition allows a workaround for grabbing the blocked notes from the nested modulator.

Not sure how to best solve this though - you don't always want your midi merged into the main stream, although this (original) behaviour was easier to grasp. I now have to change all my old projects and put stuff into the chains and containers so they get the midi from modulated chains - not always ideal.

Maybe a Midi-Merge-Container could solve this, together with the Note Receiver?

And/or a toggle in the note receiver to merge with notes from the track instead of blocking them?

Cheers,

Tom

Bummer, do you remember which message dialog it was? And what OS are you on? Thanks!

OK, Tom was faster than me

... good to make a comparison

The thing is, if you use the modulators just as audio fx and e.g. drop one onto a track you probably don't want inner note FX to affect the outer note data.
With Audition browser dropping devices onto tracks might increase a lot (depends of course).
Otherwise sometimes we of course want them to use (and maybe save!) as note FX. ATM we still have to put an extra note receiver behind the desired container/nesting device. That's why I'm for dedicated note FX containers

EDIT: ... or a tick/option on the existing containers/devices with FX slots where it could make sense to output-replace/merge note data.

Sorry. It seems I misunderstood. I was expecting fix VST windows. Here also buttons not responding starting from 1.1.6 RC1

wow, NoteReceivers can see other NoteReceivers(and the other devices too ofc.) inside the same track so they can be chained together, BWS is getting funny

no, u can't create infinite loops, it has been prevented

Do you mean you can't use plugins at all? What operating system are you on and which plugins have you tested with?
