Bitwig Studio is the only software you need to realize any musical idea across every stage of creation. Linear and nonlinear workflows, an innovative modular design, 180+ instruments and effects, and over 20GB (and counting) of world-class sound content. Built on a flexible modern architecture for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Streamlined Workflows

• Intuitive sequencing for the studio world, stage, and beyond: Use the nonlinear Clip Launcher and the Arranger together.
• Hybrid Tracks can contain notes, audio, or both.
• Use tabs to open multiple projects at once and drag-and-drop between them.
• Multi-display support for up to three displays.
• Localized to English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.

Modern Foundations

• A truly cross-platform DAW for Windows, macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon), and Linux.
• Native CLAP/VST plug-in support (32-/64-bit), and crash protection so audio never stops. Also includes delay compensation, flexible multi-out, and sidechain capabilities.
• Eight diverse time-stretching algorithms and sophisticated beat detection for audio with fixed and dynamic tempo.
• Hardware and modular-friendly: Send and receive MIDI and control voltage signals (CV/Gate).
• Multi-touch support for Windows and Linux, with a dedicated Tablet display profile.
• Flexible syncing options: MIDI clock, MIDI time code, Analog clock, Ableton LINK.
• Support for +175 MIDI controllers included and native MPE support for next-generation controllers.

Modular and Expressive

• Unified Modulation System lets you freely modulate parameters across your entire project – including Bitwig devices, CLAP/VST plug-ins, hardware, and project-level controls – with 40+ modulators including LFOs, envelopes, and more.
• Device Nesting allows devices and plug-ins to be embedded within other devices, making complex structures easy to navigate and presets much richer.
• With Operators, simple sequences of notes and audio events can be transformed into complex progressions by controlling Chance, Repeats, Occurrence, and Recurrence.
• Advanced tools such as Histograms allow you to control your material in sophisticated ways – or add creative chaos.

Powerful Editing Features

• World-class editing tools for audio, notes, and automation.
• Layered editing of multiple clips, across multiple tracks – including notes and audio side-by-side.
• Each audio clip can contain multiple audio events for powerful editing and arranging.
• Advanced automation controls for linear or clip-based workflows – including gestures, automation point modes, controlled randomization, and loop regions.
• Versatile tool palette for your notes including Spray Can, Razor, and Quantize to Key.
• Comping allows you to quickly combine the best parts of your audio takes.
• Effortless Bounce and Bounce in Place for clips or time selection.
• Clever implementation of clip aliases to quickly create structure and repetition with audio, notes, and automation.

180+ Devices Included

Bitwig Studio devices are virtual instruments, audio effects, and other tools for crafting your sound. The extensive array of included devices covers all sound design needs, from the subtle to the extreme.

• Bitwig Studio includes instruments and effects such as:
• Polymer, a fun and quick synth: Pick an oscillator, a filter, and an envelope generator. Choose your synthesis method: Subtractive, FM/PM, hard sync, PWM, phase distortion, and Wavetable. With 270 possible combinations, Polymer covers them all.
• Drum Machine: Drop in samples or electronic drum synths. Each note is now its own audio chain.
• Sampler: A versatile instrument for playing and manipulating audio with several playback modes, including granular or wavetable options and much more.
• Sweep: An expressive filter bank with two filter slots, one waveshaper, and a routing knob for smoothly blending through several configurations.
• EQ+: a feature-packed graphical equalizer with up to 8 bands, excellent visualization, mouse gestures, and new algorithms.
• Phase-4: A four-oscillator phase modulation and phase distortion synthesizer for classic, modern, and future sounds.
• The Grid: an open modular sound design environment that powers a family of devices. It includes 230+ modules and a supersonic workflow.

Sound Content

A full creative library right out of the box: Thousands of sounds and factory presets, including drum machines, acoustic drums, multi-sampled instruments, instrument loops, sound effects, and various synth presets, as well as curated partner and artist packages.
