Urs from u-he said somewhere (in the u-he forum I suppose) that CLAP plugins could use audio tracks to expose modulation sources as CV. Would have wonderful potential for Bitwig!

Me too! Another thing that would be really cool and seems very bitwig is a device that lets you sequence multiple effects from one interface like sugar bytes looperator/effectrix but you can drop any vst into each slot, you could set this up with step modulators but this kind of interface would be a lot better to use

there is a "Sequenced FX Trigger.bwpreset" ... in the Space, Time, and Color sound package

thanks a lot! thats exactly what i wanted, and it uses the grid for the step sequencers so you get them all in one place

Plus the ParSeq-8 modulator is your friend!!

Changes in Bitwig Studio 4.3, Beta 8

FIXES

Pitch Grid module: Was crashing the audio engine in non-mono cases (a regression)
Recorded audio clips sometimes didn't play back (a regression) [28926]
Fixed engine crash when manipulation strings contains less common unicode character such as:
Plug-in Suspend mode: post FX chain was going silent too early [28808]
macOS: Avoid excessive logging when the os_workgroup fails
CLAP: Better feedback when using polyphonic modulation
CLAP: Plug-ins can now be added via double click in the browser [28892]
VST3: Plug-in states were not recalling correctly for some plug-ins (a regression) [28929]
VST3: Parameters could oscillate when editing in moments of high DSP load (a regression) [28939]
VST3: DUNE3 plug-in had the wrong sound after creating a new instance (a regression)
Infinite recursion in module graph led to an app hang for one project [28927]

Glad these got fixed, I kept experiencing these and forgetting to report them in!

ACE - Bitwig per voice modulators controlling various ACE parameters including some that cannot be modulated directly.

Has anyone else had issues with plugin scanning in 4.3b7 or 8 on OSX (I'm on 10.15.7)?
I have not recently made any changes to my Bitwig settings, plugin folders, system security settings, audio/MIDI peripherals but Bitwig is now endlessly scanning plugins. Scans for 10+ minutes from opening any existing project, not just plugins belonging to the project, and the individual plugin popup window messages steal cursor focus making it impossible to do anything. Happens after reinstall, reboot, and everytime I start Bitwig up it seems to not have remembered status of scans last time it opened.

No issues with same plugins in Ableton Live, it's even worse than Logic now which is the all time worst "perpetual 3rd-party plugin scanner" IME.

You can try to delete the cache and index from Bitwigs settings folder and afterwards let it run through everything once (this will take a while!). This seems to sometimes fix this kind of situations.

On Windows, the path is: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Bitwig Studio
The content of "cache" and "index" can be safely deleted.

It also seems to me, that each Beta scans from scratch.

But yeah, scanning is getting longer and longer with all the new stuff that was introduced over the years, wavetables, impulses etc. - and I don't even scan my audio library.
At one point they may have to look into speeding it up again.

Cheers,

Tom
