Bitwig Studio updated to v1.1.6

Bitwig Studio has been updated to v1.1.6.

Changes in Bitwig Studio 1.1.6

Fixed:

• Buttons not responding in activation popup dialogs.
• Controller API: position observer of cursor device always reports -1.
• On Linux and some keyboard layouts pressing certain modifiers (like Alt-Gr) could stop keyboard shortcuts from working.
• Resetting frequency parameter of comb device resets to lower value than actually possible.
• Devices with certain modulation routings broke the document graph, causing solo to stop working and output to crackle.
• When extending end of raw audio event beyond the maximum length of the event, the successive event might be partially erased.
• Crash when moving notes to different lane in folded note editor after moving launcher clip cursor.
• When copying clips on arranger with automation follow sometimes there could be duplicate automation points on top of each other.
• Solo, routings, sends and browser preview became slow in large projects.
• Controller API: observers for parameters of nested devices don't fire after loading document.
• Unwanted thinning of events when duplicating or copy-pasting automation regions.
• Controller API: has-layers-observer always reports true for plugin devices.
• Automation events imported from MIDI files have wrong value range.
• Controller API: selection observers in cursor device layer don't fire.
• Application could crash if opening a broken document that contained multiple drum chains for a single pad - now it shows error message instead.
• Adjusting tempo on reversed audio in inspector makes waveform disappear.
• Automation events imported from certain MIDI files contain lots of redundant events.
• Controller API: delayed notification of note deletions.
• Mouse-wheel was acting funky on EQ displays and drum machine.
• Button (on/off) automation write affects the automated value outside of the recorded region when recording the first time.
• VST parameters are not restored when assigning a preset to a nested chain.
• Automation not updated correctly in arranger when drag-inserting points in clip content editor.
• Changing track mute during session recording makes the track output remain silent even when not muted.
• EDIT panel layout: automation lane in arranger note editor (clip content mode) shows the content of the clip launcher automation editor instead of arranger automation editor.
• MIDI CC data not imported with MIDI clips.
• Occasional crash when making time selections in the detail editor.
• Potential hang of application when shutting down.
• Prelisten in browser randomly plays loops at wrong speed.
• Moving raw audio snippets can create gaps after the new event end.
• OS X launcher requests to download JRE 1.6.
• Not possible to show the clip launcher in the mixer panel in the dual monitor studio display profile.
• Mixer panel could allow resizing to a smaller height that it should really allow.
• Adding a raw audio clip from browser results in wrong length of the clip.

Improved:

• Controller API: it should be possible to call addDatagramPacketObserver from other observers to make IP address user configurable.
• Controller API: add device bank for siblings of cursor device.
• Allow the note receiver device to receive the note output of devices and not just tracks.
• Increase the maximum number of files that can be dragged from the browser from 50 to 128.
• Controller API: better support for navigating device slots.
• Controller API: layers in DeviceLayerBank should be sorted by drum pad layout in case of drum machine.
• Controller script for CME Xkey.

Changes in Bitwig Studio 1.1.5

Fixed:

• Presets for old chain devices return metadata for old chain device instead of the new one.
• Controller API: direct parameter display values of certain VST plugins initially only get reported for a limited number of parameters.
• Wrong start time of sliced sample when slicing using raw slice mode and beat marker slice points.
• Polyphonic Bitwig devices was using more CPU than needed until they went to sleep the first time.
• Tooltips do not hide sometimes when switching to different application.
• Add modulation wheel improvements for Novation Impulse controller script from Thomas Helzle.
• Selected file in the used files tab cannot be previewed.
• Controller API: normalized direct parameter values are not reported correctly for chooser or button parameters.
• Controller API: normalized-direct-parameter-observer is not called initially after loading VST plugins.
• Controller API: crash when pointing primary device to sampler device.
• Controller API: non-linear direct parameter display values are reported as linear values, but should consider the value domain instead.
• Direct parameters are not listed after inserting VST plugin, only after switching tracks once.
• Controller API: channel note input observer does not work for nested device chains.
• Controller API: initial parameter display values are not send when setting the observed parameter IDs.

Improved:

• Add action to create scene from playing launcher clips.
• New controller scripts for Nektar Technology products: LX49, 61 and 88, as well as for iX49 and iX61.
• Add option to decide if devices should be saved inside a clip or not.

Changes in Bitwig Studio 1.1.4:

• Fixed: Regression: muting a device following an instrument were causing silence/crackling in 1.1.3.

Changes in Bitwig Studio 1.1.3

New:

• Automatic quantization of recorded notes.

Fixed:

• Rare engine crash when bouncing/exporting audio material.
• Crash when ctrl-clicking time selection in the track automation detail editor while clip time selection is made in the arranger overview.
• Application crashes if control scripts tries to set an unsupported automation write mode.
• Crash if dragging files to a track and while those files are being loaded for insertion the track is deleted from the project.
• VST plugins which sent MIDI events with invalid timestamps (Liquid Rhythm) could crash the engine.
• Crash in controller API when deleting multiple tracks with backspace key.
• Crash when using context menu on arranger loop region while cue markers are selected.
• After opening Multisample Editor, opening and closing of collapsible tracks in mixer does not work any more.
• Crash when loading 32-bit float WAV files on Linux on older CPUs which doesn't support SSSE3.
• Controller API: crash when navigating cursor to next track while document is closing.
• Controller API: potential crash after controller has been disconnected.
• Rare crash when working with audio files.
• Controller API: assignPolyphonicAftertouchToExpression function didn't work.
• Hybrid track with sampler and a following Bitwig device does not play bounced-in-place audio when the track is not selected.

Improved:

• Updated scripts for Arturia Keylab controller family.
• FX audio and instrument chain device should be one device that intelligently determines the preset type based on the devices inside it.
• Attach plugin states to projects when saving so that the plugin-states directory in the project folder is not needed.
