BITWIG Studio 2 is a native cross-platform digital audio workstation featuring an attractive GUI, intuitive workflow improvements and over 70 devices, covering instruments and effects as well as note effects and modulations.
The modulation system in V2 has been completely revised and improved to vastly increase the scope on offer. Each device found in Bitwig Studio (internal and external plug-ins) now feature modulation slots into which can be inserted your choice from a selection of modulators. The modulators can be used to control any number of parameters in any given device, and come in the form of staple studio tools such as Envelope Filters and LFOs alongside brand new inventions like Random and Math. In all there are 25 new modulators and 17 new devices added to this edition, alongside improvements to the existing stable.
The sound content library now contains over 2000 presets, a total of 9GB of audio data so you can expect to see multi-sampled instruments, drum machines, loops and sound effects. Both linear timeline sequencing and non-linear performance-based clip launching are easily achievable from inside Bitwig V2, making it excellent for both studio production/recording and live applications. V2 also has integrated support for many MIDI controllers, including MPE support for next generation models. Used in conjunction with the new remote control panel available for every device, any preferred workflow can be tailored to suit the needs of the artist/producer. The new dashboard interface consolidates previously hidden information and displays it in a much clearer fashion.
