Bitwig 6 Beta coming soon

[slackhead]

Before they added project level modulators, I would have yawned at the suggestion... now I couldn't imagine being without it!

Can you describe a real-world example from your work? It's a sincere, genuine question.

By modulating a single project-level macro knob with another project-level modulator, it's possible to apply (and easily change/adjust) identical volume ducking to several tracks or groups of tracks, or to accent certain beats to enhance the groove (e.g., by opening the filter on one track, increasing the volume on another, increasing distortion or other effect on another).

Thanks, guys. So, is it ok in my head to view this feature as a "parent" controller system to a "child" subsystem of controls? Bascially, a one giant knob that controls other knobs somewhere in the project is that it?

I suppose that's one way of thinking about it. Macro knobs and other modulators at the project level are not confined to a particular group, track, or device, but rather can control any modulation targets at any of those lower levels anywhere within that particular project. (Alongside, of course, being able to control project-level modulation targets.)

Also, bear in mind that you are not limited to macros, so can use pretty much any of the modulators at the global level. So for instance you could have a single switch that mutes a whole bunch of tracks and unmutes others with a single press, or a MSEG or LFO which could modulate filters and FX parameters on a multitude of tracks together. So many possibilities.

and...3 months of trying to avoid the temptation of upgrading until the final version is released

I cannot think of a single reason why I would want to avoid that temptation...

Actually I might skip this release anyway - nothing that really excites me so far from what is announced tbh. I'll stay on 5 till something compels me to upgrade.

Well... at least it has the scale highlighter... I guess...

How long is the beta? Anyone know. My plan is up on the 8th September.

I have 1. Cubase 14, Bitwig is not even in my new workstation, wrong purchase

Can be a while. I think Bitwig 5 had more than ten betas. I'd think end of the year maybe.

Solid update overall, however: Ack! Still no ARA...

It doesn't matter, if you have a plan when the beta drops you get the full version whenever it launches.

I am holding out hope that they will take their own swing at a drum replacer, polyphonic tuning editor, and automatic phase matched waveform stretching/alignment editor. Won't hold my breath. But I will hold some hope...
