Changes in Bitwig Studio 4.3.8 [released 19 September 2022]

IMPROVEMENTS

When drawing patch cords within The Grid, the names of in ports are always shown in the window footer as you drag over them

FIXES

Fixed a general issue that could lead to audio engine crashes
macOS ARM: Fixed a compiler optimization bug that caused some random audio engine crashes
Note Out Grid module: Was sometimes Gating notes to start before pitch was ready, causing quick pitch changes and other minor mayhem (for example, both Don't Wake the Færies generative-music presets sound nice again)
Window footer would sometimes get "stuck," showing the description of a previously hovered element [29713]

Changes in Bitwig Studio 4.3.7 [released 13 September 2022]

FIXES

Fixed an audio engine crash regression in 4.3.6

Changes in Bitwig Studio 4.3.6 [released 13 September 2022]

IMPROVEMENTS

Better modulator detail panel interactions:

Most modulators (29 of 38) have an expandable panel, where additional parameters or modulator routing buttons are available.
To expand one modulator's panel: simply click on the modulator's main interface. This will open the modulator's panel and close any others that were open. (If this modulator was open, it will close when clicked.)
To expand more than one modulator panel at a time: ALT-click on any modulator's main interface. This will open its panel without closing others that are open.

Better modulator selections interactions:

To select a modulator: clicking the modulator's main (square) interface.
To add or remove a single modulator for the selection: CTRL-click (CMD-click on Mac) the modulator's main interface.
To add or remove all modulators up to the one clicked: SHIFT-click the desired modulator.
To make a rectangular selection of modulators: ALT-drag within the modulators pane section of a device.

All interactions with modifier keys affect either the panel display state or selection of modulators — not both.
These changes make working with modulator mappings that involve panels easier.

FIXES

Connecting any controller that produced MIDI clock messages would break all MIDI input (regression) [29714]
VST and CLAP: Parameters were sometimes reseting to the wrong value when using Bitwig's modulators [29604]

Hoping this gets implemented for Drum Machine as well, and the pad coloring in Drum Machine not updating bug should be an easy fix that seemingly never comes

This update tells me they started to focus on interface design, which is nice!

I understand that they are working on making 4.3 as stable as possible. What I'm curious about is whether the broken automation PDC is a design flaw, or a hard to fix bug. Either way, I very much hope that they will be able to fix this absolutely devastating regression.

What is the pad color updating bug in the Drum Machine?

When did it regress?

When you scroll to another pad group, the colors stay...

I know for a fact that it was regressed when the other automation bug was fixed, that didn't flash up the override (green arrow) button when you changed the parameter. This was I think 4.3 first release.

I'm sorry, what colors are you referring to?

Two drum pads are darker than the rest. Guess what, they are actually empty. on the left, you see the scroll bar showing those two pads' actual position, where they both hold a device.

This visual bug is confusing and annoying when you are working on multiple pages, for example when you have 100 drum pad slots in the Drum Machine device.

I wasn't able to get that to happen.

I'm on Mac Monterey.

Interesting. Happens here on MAC, WIndows and Linux, on new project. Forgot to mention that you have to scroll, to see the slots not updating their color.
