5.1 update!

Bitwig is now updated to version 5.1, this update introduces 10 new modules — four filters and six waveshapers - with 10 different sonic personalities. Some emulate classic structures, but most achieve their own, unique sonic qualities. They can be loaded into the new audio FX containers Filter+ and Sweep or used as patch modules within The Grid. The new four filters, plus a brand-new oscillator are also accessible as modules in Polymer, Bitwig Studio’s flagship semi-modular synthesizer. Additional voice stacking modulators have established a corresponding category and important workflow improvements make audio editing faster and your mixer smarter.

Polymer and Filter+

Filter+ lets you pair any of our 14 waveshapers with one of the 10 filters. It's ready for any track, channel, or nested chain and even has stereo modulation options. 

Polymer, the flagship synthesizer included in Bitwig Studio Producer now includes Bite, a special dual oscillator. By giving its two morphing oscillators good anti-aliasing and connecting them to each other with feedback, a wealth of analogue techniques are unlocked.

Voice Stacking Tools:

Bitwig Studio’s unique voice stacking feature allows any polyphonic device (and even compatible plug-ins) to create multiple layers of sound. With 5.1, voice stacking is more powerful and easier to use.

Key Features:

• Unlimited Audio Tracks:
  Don’t get your ideas restricted by a channel count, this is a DAW, not a physical tape machine. No need for limitations.
• Flexible workflow - use clip launching or linear arrangement or both together:
