Is the handling and timing of stretching versus raw audio with variable tempo been fixed?
I don't see any mention of multiple time signatures so I'll assume that's not there.

That's what I am curious about too! When I record external stuff and go to grab the first transient to line it up, the first onset is almost always inaccurate or not even there at all.

Any improvements on that?

And I don't see anything about multiple time signatures, I don't think that would've been left out of the video if it was there. I'm kind of getting the feeling this isn't a high priority for them

You and I must work alike. My problem is that for every note, there seem to be half a dozen onset markers with lots on the tail of the note. Then having to manually insert stretch markers is a gigantic pain. Thankfully, I own Melodyne.

And I'm also keen on the multiple time signatures. The lack prohibits me from starting about a 1/3 of my songs in Bitwig. It's really just a grid and metronome thing but...

I would absolutely love to learn it's there, but I'm guessing it's not. The update seems more about EDM, sound creation, and workflow than linear composition.

What say yee alpha users?

The updates made to Polysynth are great. I cant show pictures, but its got loads more functionality and features packed in.
Also the sound is very...musical..? I don't want to say it sounds analog, but it sounds impressively musical. No matter how crazy you get with the filters, and modulations, it still sounds amazing.
Lately some of my favorite sounds have come from Polysynth

Tristan can you give us some info about the other little things fixed here and there? Anything regarding groove pool or locking audio a d midi to a groove? Or maybe any changes to the global groove..

Also anything happened in the piano roll worth mentioning?

Thanks in advance

I am glad to see that the 2.0 piano roll has highlighted keys, although not listed yet as a new feature. I wish the highlighting works also for hovering over the editor with mouse, not only when playing back the edited notes. Also, if right click erases notes with the pen tool, these too will speed up working with the piano roll a lot. The piano roll of Bitwig is IMO one of the best looking piano roll editors anyway, great eye candy. Also like the fact that the notes change color (already in v1.x) based on the track color. Simple, but effective features.

Edit. Noticed that the keyboard highlight has been already in Bitwig 1.3, but only in playback mode. Maybe they can add highlight also when moving mouse cursor over the editor area.

It's not actually a new feature. The black keys were highlighted, just in a far too subtle manner. I agree on the looks though. The entire interface is just way more inviting than any other in my book.

What things are you looking for to be fixed?

jonljacobi · Post by **jonljacobi** » Mon Jan 16, 2017 1:17 am

Tristan, two questions:

1. How's the transient detection?
2. Is there now any way to add stretch markers other than manually?

TIA!

@trisan is there a brush or paint tool in the piano roll ? Thanks

I can't wait for the key-tracking modulator to meet Pro-Q2 and essentially turn it into Surfer EQ2, sans ilok garbage.

Great idea for a thread.

I'm going to have live vicariously thru you folks until I (hopefully soon) get access to the beta.
