To make it more tangible, if you're on 3.0.3 and your upgrade plan has already expired or expires shortly - will you consider extending it due to features added in 3.1 (beta)?
I'm frankly very underwhelmed
1) I don't care about micro-pitch device, to "wobble" the tune of my instruments or use exotic tunings. And I doubt more than 5% of user base cares about it either. Producers nowadays have so little regard to make their tracks sounding musical that we should actually try & help them get better, not worse…
2) Interactive help is nice, but it's very rare when people get stuck with specific devices. More often than not they're asking for workflow tips, how to do something they know how to do in other DAW, how to make something work. The current interactive help won't ...help
3) I can't believe that apparently note brushing / painting was the most requested feature, but perhaps I underappreciate the number of trap producers using Bitwig?
Sure, it's not all bad. The 12-Notes modulator is perhaps fun, quick slicing of clips, audio events or MIDI notes can be useful and changes to the controller API will make Moss' life easier
For now, I'm not applying the upgrade code I bought in August...

You just reminded me that I have an upgrade code sitting there that I bought in the summer. Thanks! But no I probably won't apply that currently. Who knows though, there will be some Push script updates from Moss that might be useful, so maybe I won't actually wait until the next update if I need it for that. But I'm certainly not using it during the beta or for a while anyways.

No i will not upgrade. Not a single feature i want/need which are
- Step Input Recording
- Capture MIDI (Retrospective recording)
- Audio Quantize
- Convert Audio to MIDI
If at least one of these were implemented i'd upgraded at once.

I'm still on the plan so I'll take the update but if I wasn't on the plan I wouldn't upgrade. These are nice features but are like you said, pretty "niche".

Underwhelmed too. Not upgrading atm.
That said, I appreciate the announced features and will enjoy them, eventually. I'm just not compelled to upgrade right now.

I think I'm just going to move back to Ableton at this point. I really like Bitwig but there are some issues with the DAW that they don't seem to care to address, especially on the Mac.

I was underwhelmed (especially by the headline feature) but upgraded anyway as I also had a code sat around since July sales.
CV out of BWS is a big deal to me, so the ramps and envelope follower are worth having..the pluck ADSR is also pretty cool. I also have quite a few MPE VST's so the micro-scale is fun, but probably more fun if you have CV out...
I wonder if they had a 'bigger' headline feature (like networking?) they couldn't quite get ready in time as its been a while since the last release. Maybe they just felt under pressure to 'get something out' but there is more to come

After all this time without update I can't believe that what we get is supposed to be the next big thing. I agree with you about "feeling the pressure" and "get something out".

Nope, won't be buying in for this one. $169 for note chase is a little rich, I'll wait and see what's in 3.2...

Hell yeah! This one is awesome. Just built just intonation on micro pitch. It sounds all new and super cool. Want to get some gamelan tuning systems dailed in next. Also I saw note catch is available now which is awesome for starting midi notes halfway through and what not. Also the quick draw will be cool for treating the piano roll like a sequencer.
I wasn’t able to do the vertical pitch painting though. Anybody know how?
