Hi,
As Bitwig was one of the very few (or the only) DAWs with explicit touch screen support, I had high hopes for using it effectively on the Surface Pro. Unfortunately it is quite far from a smooth experience. And I also guess, as this type of use is quite niche, it's bottom low priority...
While I understand the inaccuracy of finger work instead of the mouse for detailed selections and moves, it could still be made much more user friendly.
For instance, in the play view attached, is there a way to hide this middle instrument window, that often is unused screen real estate and to have instead the isomorphic keyboard taller?
Or an option to have in the play view also other tracks (like the mixer view, or arranger), so that without switching screens to be able to record easily clips with the help of the isomorphic keyboard into any instrument with ease.
In the edit view there is no way to shorten the clip length by trying to grab it's end. Works only with mouse.
I mean, the main advantage of the touch screen would be to be mobile and manage without additional midi controllers. The isomorphic keyboard and clip launch access, altogether should be the centerpieces of the tablet workflow.
Thanks
Any Touch Screen mode improvements planned in the near future?
