Let‘s speculate about 6.0

Everyone has their own issues, which is why they do whatever they want What would needed now was a Termolo+, but I had to go back to the Tremolator. Honestly, as long as they do things that can't be done with plugins, I don't care—go for it!

ps. What they manage to achieve with the devices and Bitwig's variations is truly impressive

nothing original, just voicing my support...

2) A chord track. This would greatly benefit song makers.

3) Drum Machine needs an upgrade. I don't know what, I just know I never want to touch it. What is it missing? It feels clunky and slow to use for some reason.

You can mock a chord track by placing empty midi parts and naming them things like Am D C F#m, or using the text notes. (Unless you had more of an auto accompeniament things in mind)

I'm sure a slightly more integrated sample browser dedicated to drum machine could help clunky or not having each drum hit in a sampler with it's own FX chains super powerful.

My main wish for drum machine is a special grouping setup, so groups of cells could grouped together and would allow e.g. multiple local sends for that group. I can set this up with audio sends and receivers, but I think it would be worth Bitwig extending the drum machine in this way.

Yes built in V8 Cowbell. Instant Phonk Goodness.

That would actually be rad. This actually makes me realize what I miss is being able to blindly click through and audition samples the way you can in Battery. I get you can open up the browser and click through, but no matter what system I am on, it is clunky!

it is clunky!

So.....kinda clunky to , but this is how i audition stacks of sounds sometimes

Have a note counter controlling the select & a button to turn it on and off, all samples are stacked on 1 key, so every new note selects the next sample, hit hold when i find something i like

I think they are planning a beta release between the end of March and mid-April, if everything goes according to plan. During this period, their interface will also be released, which would make everything perfect. This update is personally one of the most important for me and will be crucial in determining whether Bitwig becomes my main DAW. I hope they deliver.

What I could appreciate is Reason’s block system, but multilayered—now that would be truly next level, if you miss the original concept



and then there would instantly be a multi-scratchpad as well. My other "big" idea is if multiple tabs could be launched(would be active at the same time), like the 'Project in Project' subsystem of Reaper, or to start with, it wouldn’t be bad if Polarity could step in and rearrange the development priorities The fact that he has to implement scale and piano roll features as a controller script—how crazy is that?

It is highly unlikely. Version 5.3 is still in beta, so the chances of them releasing it and immediately entering another beta are extremely low. I believe they will exit this beta in March, with the next beta release coming around September or October. This would align with the speculation that they are moving towards one annual release cycle.

This really might be a good fit for Bitwig. And if those blocks could also be used to control modulators and device selectors (similar to the global fill mode), it would help keep clip variations in sync with device settings.

Exactly, just as I wrote, I would also need multiple blocks layer, and those stacked on top of each other should be transparent in case of muting or empty space.


(from the video above)

Reason can have only one block layer, so the idea is genius but whole system is not truly versatile, or at least it wasn't fully developed—I guess they saw that users wouldn't even grasp it, so they improved it in a way that allows the whole thing to be turned off(as a default setting) Bitwig users are much more tech-savvy, If the parallelization of different Grids by voice stacking could be understood, this would be as well, so I can the see potential here

I would love to see the option that you can make custom macro's.
So you can make a chain of fx under 1 button.
For example reverse reverb on a audio clip.

5.3 is out now. The beta phase took quite a long time—almost 3 months.
The reason it took so long might be that they needed their resources for Bitwig 6.

If the beta for Bitwig 6 is released around mid-April, the official release could happen in the summer, around July or August. Version 6.1 could then potentially follow in the fall.

But of course, this is all just speculation. In my opinion, they’re planning to release Bitwig 6 around the same time as their interface. It would make sense, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will happen.
