Beta 2 is available.
Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.1, Beta 2 [released 24 October 2023]
IMPROVEMENTS
Quantize Audio improvments:
Applying Quantize Audio to raw audio events applies the user's Default stretch mode set for On recording / bounce (set in Dashboard > Settings > Behavior)
After executing the function, visible waveform editors will switch to the Stretch page, displaying beat markers
Mixer improvements:
The Big Meters section is back, available when the mixer's Clip Launcher Panel is hidden
Meters scale now disappears one "width-step" later
CLAP: Updated to version 1.1.9
FIXES
Export and Bounce in Place are fast again, even when a project contains plugins (a regression) [33892]
Quantize Audio fixes:
From the dialog, the numeric Onset Threshold control wasn't working when dragged [33901]
Fixed a crash when used on a metaclip [33863]
Rasp (Filter) module: Renamed (and clarified description for) its Feedback Limit parameter
Voice Stack Mix (Mix) Grid module: Has correct labels for voice 5 [33933]
Chorus+, Flanger+, and Phaser+ (Modulation) devices: Could sound different when opened from previous work [33909]
Vocoder (Filter) device: Was broken in v5.1b1 [33924]
Humanize (Note FX) device: Was not passing note offs when panel was hidden, causing hanging notes [33975]
Note Sidechain modulator: Now shows user-provided name in the modulator pane [33619]
Mixer fixes:
Faders were sometimes overlapping at maximum height at various interface scalings [33895]
Output chooser for multiout VST chains now scales correctly when resizing mixer [33932]
Reference waveforms (shown under notes) in the Detail Editor Panel now uses a stronger color
Realtime export now works, no longer performing a normal offline export (a regression) [33894]
Fixed a crash when copying Launcher clips with automation [33883]
Enabling MIDI clock no longer crashes the audio engine [33885]
Application could sometimes crash when clicking the "maximize" device button from a mixer or Inspector Panel devices section [33777]
Plug-ins: Fixed performance regressions [33931]
Fabfilter Pro-Q 3 VST3: Solo band function works again [33910]
Softube Console 1: Now shows the correct name and color for group tracks

Quick question: Can any of these new filters be used within Bitwig's own synthesizers and sampler? Or are they strictly for monophonically processing audio tracks and other audio sources?

by the way, IAMX demonstrated what Bitwig is like IRL

Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.1, Beta 3 [released 27 October 2023]

FIXES
Normalize not available for Launcher Clips, but for Arranger clips [33902]
Mixer: Fixed scaling issues with Big Meters when not using 200% GUI Scaling
Browsing drum machine presets should be quicker again (a regression in beta 5.1) [34024]
Convolution (Reverb) device: Improved playback for "true stereo" (four channel impulses, removing previous artifacts in some cases [33899]
DAWproject: Fixed an import issue with clip offsets when clip times and durations were using mixed units
Fixed a rare engine crash when deleting a plug-in [34013]
macOS: Fixed random crashes when inputting text [33774]
Plug-ins: Now go to sleep regardless of how their window is closed (including using the GUI button in the device chain) [33862]

Fixed a slowdown when opening the browser with some third-party scripts (like Generic Flexi) and many tracks present [34042]
Console 1 hardware may set mixer parameters to random values (regression in beta 2)

- Windows: No more firewall popup messages
FIXES

Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.1, Beta 6 [released 15 November 2023]
IMPROVEMENTS
Audio onsets are now hidden when they are not being used for playback (because they are below your Onset Threshold value for the event)
In the Onset view, inactive onsets are still shown but dimmed
FIXES
Fixed a crash when showing the Secondary Mixer Panel below the Arranger (a regression in beta 5) [34266]
Certain feedback situations were bouncing poorly and causing other mischief [34316]
Dragging pitch expression points slowly now works again [34299]
Arranger loop improvements:
Better mouse cursors for adjusting loop length
Same modifiers are allowed while dragging as with clicking
Setting the metronome level works correctly again (a regression in beta 5)
Selecting tracks in the Arranger changes focus in the layered editor again (a regression) [34323]

Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.1, Beta 7 [released 24 November 2023]
NEW FEATURES
Stack Spread (Voice Stacking) modulator: Now visualizes each voice's effective modulation amount in the Inspector Panel
Hovering over an individual voice in the Inspector pops up a tooltip with a numeric representation
IMPROVEMENTS
Dialogs can now be freely dragged around the application window
This includes Quantize Audio, Slice to Drum Machine, Slice to Multisample, and Slice to Sampler, which can preview onto timeline content in the background window
Mixer improvements:
Track headers now default to Fill header backgrounds, which can be disabled by right-clicking in the mixer view toggle area (to the left of the track volume faders)
Stronger icons for the Clear Arm, Clear Mute, and Clear Solo buttons
Automation recording of continuous parameters has been improved, only writing a flat line when no input has been received for a short period of time (resulting in smoother automation curves being recorded)
On device interfaces that use icons on either side of a knob, the icons can now be clicked to set either extreme value. This applies to:
Vibrato (LFO) modulator, for Waveshape parameter
Random (LFO) modulator and S/H LFO (Random) Grid module, for Smoothing and Feedback / Correlation parameters
LFO (LFO) modulator, for Waveform Tilt and Waveform Curve parameters
Beat LFO (LFO) modulator, for Rate, Waveform Tilt, and Waveform Curve parameters
FIXES
Fixed potential application and audio engine crashes when some controllers are connected [34450]
Solo as Cue: Cued channels are now properly delay compensated [33363]
Editing clip automation after splitting a clip was not working correctly [34257]
When tweaking a volume slider in Mixer View, the mouse cursor no longer jumps to the left on release [34390]
Stack Spread (Voice Stacking) modulator: Random modes no longer constantly update in True Mono [34318]
Instrument Layer and FX Layer (Container) devices: Take advantage of more parallel processing opportunities when EQ+ is present [34437]
Arpeggiator (Note FX) device: Rate parameter is now sample-accurate [34232]
Merge & Split (Mix) Grid modules: Now Wrap properly on the edges of the range [34259]
Random (LFO) modulator: Respects the Bipolar setting, even when a negative Feedback value is set [34128]
Poly Grid (The Grid) device: Fixed a rare case with broken audio on export or bounce [34181]
Fixed some crashes and/or erratic behavior of deactivated Grid modules when reactivating them after voice stacking was enabled [34242]
Setting the track modulator's note source works correctly with the output of a device [33463]
Instrument glide always tracks the last note now, even in Digi Mono mode [34217]
Clip Launcher: Quantize to Loop is working correctly again [33001]
When recording automation in a loop on the Arranger, sometimes automation was deleted in the loop region when recording near the loop jump [34352]
Copying a track with a CC automation lane was sometimes creating bipolar automation on the new track [34322]
DAWproject: Loops were not imported correctly for audio clips (a regression) [34414]
Plug-ins: Routing to multiple MIDI channels directly was broken (a regression) [34140]
CLAP: MPE was not working in a certain situation [34415]
Improved memory usage for controllers which are editing note clips [34335]
Controller API: Fixed a random crash [33721]
