Bitwig 3.1 announcement

[Randall P. McMurphy]

What scales? There's just some new (micro)tuning device that's useful to perhaps 1% of the user-base

YEA MAAAAAN!!!! Consider me part of that 1% !!!!

I played around with 3.1. I was really waiting for the note chase and so far it works good. Don't know what they mean with half note. It seems more like one beat threshold which is fine with me.

Ok, that sounds reasonable and makes much more sense. I wonder if it is worth making the threshold user definable in beats or ms?

[astromooses]

Okay, where can I submit a formal feature request for note-preview/audition that not only allows me to select via drag-box in the piano roll but allows me to do it poly-phonically? It is the most significant factor that keeps me from using Bitwig full-time. I will beg all beta if I have to. Just let me drag-box a set of notes that previews them and selects them, just like Ableton and many other DAWs. No I don't want to have to select a special tool outside the mouse-cursor to do it. That's all I'm asking. I promise I will never nag for another feature ever again.

It makes me feel both like I'm an idiot and that I have some strange way of writing midi via mouse and keyboard that only this specific idiot does. Am I crazy that not many people seeing this as a glaring QOL improvement? I literally cannot do quick chord drafting without this QOL feature. Editing chords by single notes at a time and not being able to surgically select intervals to audition and edit in a single click is dauntingly tedious at least for me. I guess I must be musically inept for not having echoic memory strong enough to preview single notes and hear the rest of the chord in my mind. Just please, I want to use Bitwig for composing so bad but this is the bread and butter of my process. It feels like I'm straight being mocked not having this and having the last two updates be "oriented towards composing."

^That's cool and all but Bitwig has microtuning and new (old) scales now. Take that! It's never been easier to make bells sounds like a bunch of drunken monks having a party in a monastery.

tucked into the 'Improvements' category:

"Mac: reduced GPU (graphics processing) load"

Hmmmmmm, could this be the fix to the 'always running fan' issue I've been complaining about for 3+ years?

I don't even own bitwig currently due, yes, to that issue (I can't work on mixing and sound design with my mac fan running at full blast, sorry) so if anybody on iMac can let me know, thanks!

Interesting, I sold Bitwig 1.x for the same reason.

Curious does MicroPitch device allow for scales with more than 12 notes per octave? Looking at the interface it's not clear if it just allows re-tuning of 12 note scales.

Thanks JHernandez, I rang that bell before during 3.0 beta and here we are now at 3.1

I'll ring it again for posterity.

[excuse me please]

What about flutes?

Wow ... Hah! I love it.

[excuse me please]

Yeah, I noticed there is something wrong with my leads. Lately, to my surprize, I found several great tracks.

Note chase is not working at all here. I have it checked at the behavior tab.

did anyone find a solution for the mac (high sierra ??) problem.
Bitwig 3.1 crashes and just opens a black window after restart.
