Hi everybody,

Bitwig Studio 1.3.6 RC-1 is available for download on http://www.bitwig.com/download.html. Here is the list of changes:

NEW - Added Post Recording Actions to clip launcher which are activated after a specified duration has been recorded. This can be used to record clips of a predetermined fixed length as well as to record multiple takes automatically to multiple clips.
NEW - Implement Choke for the Drum Machine.
IMPROVED - Added support for track and instrument name metadata to MIDI file import.
IMPROVED - Improved WASAPI perfomance.
IMPROVED - Made pencil tool smarter - it now lets you move and extend notes/clips without having to switch to the arrow tool.
IMPROVED - Much lower memory usage and better overall application performance on OSX.
FIXED - Crash when changing drum machine preset for another preset using the popup browser and having previously selected a pad that does not have a chain in the preset selected.
FIXED - Muted clips are not visually distinguishable from unmuted clips in clip launcher.
FIXED - Creating a clip in the clip launcher using different time signature than 4/4 still creates a clip with 4 quarters duration.
FIXED - Controller API: crash when using device layer bank.
FIXED - Free running automation is not shown correctly in content preview section of launcher clips.
FIXED - When there is a long list of items that needs to be scrolled in a menu it is not possible to select menu items using touch that are not visible.
FIXED - When importing MIDI files the clip length should be calculated from the content instead of from MIDI metadata.
FIXED - Rare crash when deleting a track or moving it out of it's group.
FIXED - On Linux the window shifts down by the size of the title bar each time the application is started.
FIXED - Zoom to fit leaves too much space in timeline editors.
FIXED - Exporting MIDI file should ignore muted notes.
FIXED - Dragging a track from one project to another that referered to a sample that was collected and saved on a different machine in the source project would not find the samples when dropped in the destination project.
FIXED - Notes in drum MIDI files that have zero length should be interpreted as 16th when importing into Bitwig Studio.
FIXED - Effect track is called audio track in context menu.
FIXED - Projects with editors set to triplets don't show correct value in grid subdivision fields.
FIXED - Moving multiple continuous clips with "automation follows clips" activated creates unneccessary automation dots at the boundries of the clips.
FIXED - Undo history breaks if you move an automation point and hit the right mouse key while doing so.
FIXED - Instrument notes are not truncated at the clip boundry when consolidating.
FIXED - Controller API: Crash when creating named device cursors from onMidi callback.
FIXED - Crash if bouncing a track region in place and before the bounce has completed deleting the track.
FIXED - Moving notes by a tiny amount using the inspector creates lots of duplicates.
FIXED - Sometimes engine crashes on OSX when connecting to document.

Best wishes from the Bitwig team!

Hmmm those images are too small... can't see exactly what's going on. Would you mind telling us instead? Or uploading clearer pictures?

Yeah... I don't know what is supposed to be communicated by those two images.

Just look at midi-notes in clips.. Blurred lines instead proper one. I really can't understand why you can't realize simple issue like this. But maybe it's looks normal for all

Ermmm..... both pictures are just blurry altogether, so I can't tell the difference between them!

Excellent list of fixes for 1.3.6 RC-1

Some bugs in there I have encounter multiple times! Good to see these fixes. Also, since installing, the annoying CPU spikes I was getting may be gone. I've only tested for like 10 minutes, but it is promising!

This is what it looks like for me.

Also, there is no option to zoom, when I zoom in manually it's just a larger image of blurriness.
