Bitwig Studio is the single solution for realizing any musical idea across every stage of production.
Streamline your creative process and quickly evolve your ideas into complete songs, tracks, and compositions. Bitwig Studio offers intuitive tools to record, edit, and arrange any material.
Audio clips are your musical blocks, and edits can be made within them. Split at onsets, repitch with curves, or scale and stretch in various ways. And when the tempo changes, your audio will match it, courtesy of time-stretching options from us and Zplane.
Bitwig’s notes are dynamic, allowing micro-pitch, pressure, panning, and more for each individual note. So get true polyphony from Bitwig’s instruments, or send these notes as MPE or CV signals. Or even add some musical logic with Operators, modulating when and how notes play.
Comping is a clean workflow for recording and then combining the best parts of many takes. This works on any audio clip in Bitwig, so move freely between the Arranger and Launcher. Even drag in long audio to “fold” a new comp, exploring old tapes in a new way.
Bitwid Studio has a vast and ever-growing device library, with over 90 different instruments, audio and note FX, container devices, and signal routers you can translate any idea into music.
The Grid is a modular sound design environment, open for you to build your own creations from scratch. It’s also an expressive instrument with hundreds of high-quality patches for you to explore, ready to play. It’s sophisticated yet easy and fast at the same time.
The modulation system in Bitwig Studio allows you to use Macro controls, Note Expressions, LFOs, and Envelopes to modulate any device, VST plug-in, or hardware parameter. With 30+ modulators (and counting) the potential for creative expression is endless.
Let Bitwig Studio control your hardware, or let your hardware control Bitwig Studio, or both, via MIDI, CC, CV, Gate, analog and MIDI Clock, and MIDI Timecode. Enjoy a collection of straightforward tools that allow you to take advantage of the best of two worlds, and that scales with your setup.
Bitwig Studio handles VST and CLAP plugin hosting in a unique way, allowing for different hosting modes and plug-in crash protection. With plug-ins, the audio engine, and other processes running in separate threads, a technical issue won’t bring your whole project down.
With extensive touch-screen support (multi-touch with unlimited touch points, gestures, pen support, and simulated pressure), Bitwig Studio is on the forefront of new ways to create music. Overall, the user interface of Bitwig Studio is touch-friendly; in addition there is a dedicated tablet display profile, perfect for any touch screen, or devices such as Microsoft Surface computers.
Extend your library with offerings from hand-picked partners and artists, who have painstakingly created loops, presets, and sampled instruments for Bitwig Studio. All are high quality and free to use.
