The Grid… yes so starts a sentence from the movie Tron Legacy but is also the key feature of the new published Bitwig Studio 3. The Bitwig developer invites you to discover her Grid, a new open modular environment with 150+ modules divided into three parts: The Grid, Poly Grid, and FX Grid devices. The biggest advantage of this is the freedom of how you want to work: complex polysynths, modular effect processors,…
Besides, the new Grid feature, it comes with a very handy automatic project backup function, Ableton Link v3 support as well as many improvements. Version 3 is probably the biggest and most exciting update so far for Bitwig Studio. It gives the users the modular function which was advertised from the beginning and directs Bitwig Studio into a DAW new direction. No longer the eternal Ableton comparison.
Overview
Modularity has been at the core of Bitwig Studio from the beginning. Devices can be nested, clips are containers, modulators exist everywhere, and practically anything can be dragged anywhere. But with Bitwig Studio 3, we are zooming out so you can push in.
The Grid is an open modular environment that powers a family of new devices in Bitwig Studio 3: Poly Grid and FX Grid. With a vast library of modules and a supersonic workflow, you’ll be creating your own unique sounds immediately, and in high-fidelity. Simply add a Grid device to your project and start patching. It’s fun. The Grid includes:
- Fully-modular sound design
- Fantastic sound quality
- 150+ modules
- Any signal, anywhere
- Lighting-fast workflow
- 4x-oversampled, stereo signal path
Construct a polyphonic synthesizer from scratch in one session. Create an adaptive audio effect with your signature sound. Experiment with generative drones until you find a new way to perform. Or simply create the undefinable. Patching is effortless, giving full reign to your creativity.
