There is no feedback in Bitwig outside of the grid and fx containers. So, there is no feedback routing, say within sends or using the audio receiver module. For dub and dub techno, it’s impossible to really use BWS for sending fx to other fx or back to themselves for traditional dub effects.

Would there be a possibility (or is it already here and I'm missing a setting) of adding tool tips? Mainly for the GUI icons at the top but for each audio component would be great too for quickly learning what each module does.

Tool tips are an excellent idea, I will add that to the feature list.
The web site now allows direct free download of the latest Fathom Pro 3.2 release as it did in the past.
https://www.fathomsynth.com/updates
The Pro AVX 3.2 release still needs to be directly through sending an email to support.
This is because it was an internal release only and not available to the public.
However there has been a major development in 3.2 to make the entire upgrade process easier.
All versions of Fathom now have a settings upgrade page.
You can hit the button at the top "Check for Upgrades".
Fathom will ping the server for the latest download for what ever version you are licensed to run.
The server will respond almost immediately and then Fathom will show your download link.
It is smart in the sense that it knows what version you need.
So if you are running Fathom Pro AVX it will give you the direct download for that build.
This takes all the guess work out of getting upgrades and you no longer have to email support.
3.2 will be the last release for a while unless there are major bugs.
So I would recommend checking for a release maybe every month since it takes literally a second.

Excellent news & many thanks for the quick update!
I think 3.2 might be more than enough to keep me happy for quite some time.

Fathom folks, I've got a quick question:
Is there a way to slightly randomize the pitch of an oscillator anytime you press a note? So like, you play a chord with 4 notes, and each note is slightly detuned in one direction or another? The goal would be for the pitch change to specifically *not* be universal across all notes.

Glokraw, cool song. Love the rhythms you achieved with that oscillator.
Boomt, I thought all the toggles respond to the mouse wheel, they were suppose to all be flipped with the mouse wheel.
Willsavino, I think the right thing to do is connect the Random Sample Hold modulator to the Pitch Find dial. That should give you what you want and you can create just about any kind of random movement with that modulator, either gradual, totally random or random steps, also you can do it by note or by song position. Also, don't forget that the detune page itself has dynamic oscillation on any detune pitch parameter so that is going to sound pretty random even without connecting a modulator to the pitch.

Glad you like the tune, but it's far more your fault than mine. Pretty sure i just adjusted polyphony for the anticipated style and speed of keypresses. When the engine is great, the driver has the easy part

Fired up Fathom for the first time in a few weeks. All of a sudden, no metamorphic oscillator, and the GUI reads "License Error 16."

Did something change with your net connection? I had this when I connected to internet with my mobile phone while my ISP was down.

Did you email support? It's not supposed to always need to connect.

Was hoping someone else would have an easy fix so I wouldn't have to bother Everett directly.

Run the installer again. Hit next when it wants to install the plugin and presets since they are already installed. After that is the licensing. Put in your email and order number and request a new license.
I had the same error 16 after a major Windows update, upgraded video card (old one dying), and moved a dongle to a different USB port. So one of those changes caused it. iLok was not affected but a couple other plugins wanted re-authorization.

It will be nice to have spectrum displayed in wavedraw oscillator editor,also display name of loaded wave.e.g. Cableguys Curve synth.
