Bitwig Studio 5.1.7

[SLiC]

Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.1.7 [released 28 March 2024]

IMPROVEMENTS
Sampler (Synth) device: Now loads the user-defined default preset when dropping in an audio file to create a Sampler instance [35150]

FIXES
Creating audio expressions with the Pencil tool while holding [ALT] was sometimes leaving a lot of "ghost points" in the window and eventually crashing the app (a regression) [35325]
Diode (Shaper) Filter+ / Sweep / Grid module: Was not always reseting properly, leading to silent output after bounce [FLOAT-35311]
Latch (Note FX) device: Did not stop on transport when Note FX chain is closed [35169]
MIDI Program Change (MIDI) device: Was not sending program 1 upon loading into the engine [35192]
After re-activating a plug-in, its resources would never be freed (on delete) [34924]
Copying clips or time to clipboard and then pasting in a drum pad would crash the program [34695]

False positive from virus scanner, big deal.

This just means we're getting closer to Bitwig 5.2. I'm down with that.

[sbmongoose]

And it's now the current stable release. But bring on 5.2 soon, please.

[SmajjL]

I'm at the point if they as much as blink, i'll throw money at them, bring it!

[aproject]

The version seems stable on mac os M1.

I'm disappointed in Bitwig 5 compared to Reason and as for Live 12 I am slowly planning to decide if I want to use all the stuff I got for MaxForLive for it with all the other features. Live seems very promising. Reason 13 will decide whether I choose Live 12 and up much. I suspect it's late 2024 or early 2025 when 13 might come but maybe sooner.
