Bitwig 3.2 is released, demo available.

I've been playing with synths and midi since about 1981, and stopped doing this in the early 2000s when my first child was born. I've come back to this world and discovered Reaper, then Live and now Bitwig. These packages are mindblowing, and so far beyond what I was using before.

*high five*

Started around 1987/88 on Atari 800XL, then Amiga and then PC. Stopped in 2000. Came back in 2017/18. Now mostly on Bitwig, too

High five back atcha! So you predate the ST even I think the first midi I used was Yamaha CX5M. Such amazing progress this stuff has made.

Oh, I never used MIDI until 2017. I've only used trackers (CMC, ProTracker, FastTracker II) before that. The 'modern' way of making music is all new to me

Well Midi is the oldest, most ancient way... My first synth was a Poly-800 and then a DX-7. No way to get around without Midi...

True, but trackers were a complete in-the-box alternative, sort of like MPC or Elektron devices, without any MIDI. I was aware of MIDI protocol in the 90s, because obviously like most I was frequenting music shops to "play" on synths, but they were out of my reach financially as a student back then.
