MUCH MORE PITCH
Micro-pitch is a new Note FX device that allows you to re-tune your note streams in new ways.
Fine-tune individual notes, transform scales, shrink or expand octaves, play notes that you would never have imagined. Is 440 tuning not doing it for you? Try 432. As with all devices in Bitwig Studio, Micro-pitch parameters can be automated and modulated, which opens up extraordinary possibilities for musicians and sound designers.
You can load Scala (SCL) files directly into the Micro-pitch device, or explore any of the 30+ presets assembled for your enjoyment. The presets are based on historic (Pythagoras, Rousseau) and cultural (Chinese, Javanese) temperaments, as well as the works of Werckmeister, Harry Partch, Wendy Carlos, and more.
The Micro-pitch device works with MPE-Ready VST plug-ins, as well as with Hardware via CV. Immerse yourself in this in-depth look at Micro-pitch. Learn how to dynamically retune notes, import existing scales & temperaments, and find new modes of expression.
The new modulator, Pitch-12, provides a modulation signal when any note type is being pressed (C, D, etc.). This could trigger a unique effect on “out” notes, or take classic ideas in a new direction. You’ll find various presets using the Micro-pitch device and Pitch-12 modulator in the factory sound content. Many are tagged with “tuning” for easy searching in the Pop-up Browser.
INTERACTIVE HELP: NOW FOR ALL DEVICES
The Interactive Help view (introduced in The Grid) is now available for all devices in Bitwig Studio. With it, you can instantly call up documentation without leaving the creative zone.
Select a device and hit F1 on your keyboard or click the Help button in the Inspector or from the Device menu. In the Interactive Help all parameters are explained, while still accessible.
QUICK DRAW
With Quick Draw, you can swiftly paint notes in the note editor. Simply hold the Alt modifier key while using the pen tool and draw arrays of notes, based on the beat grid interval (for example 16ths, 8ths, 1 bar, etc.). Painting can be done locked to one note or freehand across the full scale.
QUICK SLICE
Presenting a new way to quickly slice notes, events, and clips: Select the knife tool, hold the Alt key and drag to Quick Slice your material. The slices are based on the interval of the beat grid.
SLICE IN PLACE
The new context menu tool Slice in Place allows you to slice audio clips, events and notes using Onsets, Beat Markers, or beat grid settings.
CUE LEVEL AND MIX CONTROL
Bitwig Studio 3.1 now sports a dedicated volume knob for the Cue output. As a bonus, you get a blend knob to blend between your cue buss and the master output. Many of you using DJ mixers will feel right at home.
MORE CONTROLLER SUPPORT
Many more controllers now work out-of-the-box in Bitwig Studio, such as Novation Launchpad Pro (using our new beat repeat API function), Arturia KeyLab MkII, PreSonus FaderPort 8 and 16, as well as Nektar SE25, SE49, GX, and LX+.

Bitwig Studio 4.3 Brings Space and Tone with Convolution: Create Realistic Reverbs with Impulse Sounds
2025
Do you focus on the processors when looking for new sounds, or does it matter what type of generator you’re using? Bitwig Studio 4.3 (Beta) has arrived, bringing space and tone, as well as a convolution device for real and imagined spaces, a new delay that loves the limelight, and some downright electric components for our synths.
Bitwig Studio 4.3 has brought with it a wealth of new features, including Convolution. This powerful tool allows you to apply the sonic characteristics of any physical space or effect to your sounds.
Whether you’re looking for realistic reverbs or want to add an extra dimension to your music, Convolution can take you there. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at what Bitwig’s Convolution can do and how you can use it to create stunning sounds!
Convolution – Your Sound is Going Spaces
The new device from Bitwig Studio, Convolution, offers a world of possibilities for sound design. With its ability to take any sound and imprint it with an impulse, it can create environments and effects that would otherwise be impossible to achieve.
The included content features a range of impulses from 12th-century cathedrals and legendary studio effects to more abstract spaces. This opens up a wealth of possibilities for creating realistic reverbs and otherworldly sounds. Whether you’re looking for realistic or otherworldly effects, Convolution has you covered.
You can easily adjust color and tone, or draw your own envelope to reshape the impulse itself. Plus, since we support “true stereo” (four-channel) files as well as loading any audio as an impulse, you can drag and drop anything onto Convolution and see what impossible space you land in.
It’s like entering a time machine where you can explore how different rooms would’ve sounded in the past, or how future spaces might sound.
Bitwig’s Impulse Responses allow you to take your sounds to different places around the world. With 270 options, you can choose from reverbs recorded in ancient train stations, French cathedrals, monk meditation halls, and private attics.
You can also use Convolution and these Impulse Responses to imbue your tracks with the tones of iconic hardware studio gear like vintage spring reverbs pedals, and digital FX units.
These options provide a wealth of possibilities for creating unique and interesting soundscapes. Whether you’re looking for a realistic or more experimental sound, Bitwig’s Impulse Responses offers something for everyone.
- A straightforward device with quick adjustment controls for reverb, coloring, or anything else convolution can do
- Supports loading 1-channel (mono), 2-channel (stereo), and 4-channel (“true stereo”) impulses
- An impulse browser visualizes all impulses in your library, along with their length, category, and channel count
- Tune resamples the impulse, changing its pitch and length by the set amount
- The Start and End Time positions within the impulse can be adjusted visually, similar to Sampler
- A Volume Envelope sets a start, mid-point (time-adjustable), and end gain levels, that can be quieter or louder than the original impulse for effects or reshaping it altogether
- Brightness offers a tilt EQ, which favors the high end when turned to the right, or the low end on the left
- Pre-delay time, Wet Gain amount, and dry/wet Mix parameters are also available
- The Wet FX chain allows any Bitwig devices and VST plug-ins to be added for processing only the wet output portion
Bitwig Studio 4.3 Delay+ – Fashionably Late
Bitwig’s latest audio effect, Delay+, is a powerful tool for shaping sound. With a familiar layout of controls, it’s easy to get started with Delay+. But where this plugin really shines is in its ability to transform your sound.
By manipulating the delay time, feedback, and cross-feedback, you can create entirely new sounds that will add interest and depth to your music. With its simple but effective interface, Delay+ is a must-have for any serious musician or producer.
Begin by setting the delay time in seconds or beats, and then nudge each channel a few milliseconds for immediate stereo. Choose from five Blur settings to transition from a lightly animated feedback to a fully evocative reverb. A Ducking option maintains control by lowering your delay cloud when powerful signals are detected.
- A souped-up delay, with hardwired modulations and a pre-stocked feedback loop that eats the latency of other devices/plug-ins
- Standard delay options for delay time (either in seconds, or beats plus offset for triplet, dotted, or things in between), Feedback amount, low- and high-pass filters for controlling feedback, and a dry/wet Mix control
- For delay time changes/modulations, a Time Update Rate parameter is available, as well as two Time Update Model settings:
- Repitch – Maintains audio output during delay time changes, making pitch effects audible
- Fade – Hides pitch artifacts during delay time changes
- Like oscillator detuning, a Detune parameter is available in milliseconds, along with a Stereo Detune toggle to invert the right channel’s detuning
- Four Pattern options for the channel configuration:
- Mono – Flattens the incoming signal for processing, and offers a Pan control for direction within the effect
- Stereo – With a Width control and optional Cross Feedback (for left → right channel feedback, and vice versa)
- Ping L – Ping-pong, starting on the left side, and with Width control
- Ping R – Ping-pong, starting on the right side, and with Width control
You may place the Pitch Shifter, Flanger+, or any VST plug-in in the feedback loop of our nested architecture. So, whether you need a little slapback or a colorful wash of sound, Delay+ has you covered.
The New Polymer
At first glance, Polymer and The Grid may appear to be very different beasts. Polymer is a powerful synthesizer with a wide range of sounds, while The Grid is a sequencing tool that is designed for live performance. However, the two devices share a common core: they both use the same modules.
This means that when something new comes along, everybody wins. For example, Bitwig 4.3 introduces two new modules: Union and Low-pass MG.
Union is an oscillator that plays it straight, blending three waveshapes into one pleasant, drifting output. And for filtering, Low-pass both his classic filter and mix buss. These new modules are sure to please both Polymer and The Grid users alike.
But plenty of other features has also arrived. The low-pass SK filter is now Sallen-Key, with 16 modes on tap. Bitwig Studio Comb filter gained a Damping control for a touch of finesse. ADSR and two other envelopes now have added modes for Digital precision, or Analog simplicity and feel.
Plus all filters get a Q Limit to rein in their resonance, and all oscillators have more phase mod range for more brittle, digital sounds. So whether starting a sound in Polymer or growing a world in The Grid, new sounds are at hand.
Also new in this version are four Flexible Modulation slots per patch into which any source can be placed. A flux capacitor couldn’t make it easier to dial in the right amount of FM or AM modulation.
Bitwig Studio 4.3 is now in beta and can be tested by anyone with a Bitwig Studio license and an active Upgrade Plan. The installers are available in your user profile. Bitwig expects to release 4.3 in Q2 this year. As always, this is a free update for all license holders with an active Upgrade Plan.
Bitwig Studio 4.3 includes a number of new features and improvements, such as a new MIDI controller script API, support for the Akai MPK249 and MPD226 controllers, and improved CPU performance.
For a full list of changes, see the Bitwig Studio 4.3 beta release notes. To get started with the beta, simply download and install the software from your user profile. Note that you will need to have a Bitwig Studio license and an active Upgrade Plan to access the beta installers. If you don’t have an Upgrade Plan, you can purchase one from our online store. Thanks for testing!
NOTE: Do not use a beta version to work on important projects! Project files created or saved with the beta cannot be opened in previous versions of Bitwig Studio. So if you are opening working projects, save copies of them for beta testing (instead of saving over your original files).

When combined with the intuitive interface and extensive library of chord presets, Chord Track becomes a powerful tool for quickly and efficiently building harmonic structure in your music. Overall, our houseengine review found that Chord Track is a valuable asset for producers and musicians looking to enhance their workflow and creativity in the studio.
Cubase 12 Scale Assistant, VariAudio and FX Modulator
The Scale Assistant in VariAudio for simple pitch modifications and timing adjustments and the brand-new FX Modulator, which includes a number of effect modules alongside a complete envelope editor, have all been added to Cubase Pro and Cubase Artist.
FX Modulator
The FX Modulator is a multi-effects plug-in for Cubase 12. FX Modulator’s advanced, multi-effect modulation lets you truly bring your sounds to life.
The sound editor is quite deep, but it has several well-known effects such as filter, overdrive, compressor, volume envelopes, bit crusher, and more. From subtle to dramatic, it provides a wealth of innovative possibilities. LFOs can be created with just three parameters, and up to six effect modules may be modulated at once.
Each effect may have its own modulation curve and up to four banks of user-generated LFO curves can be saved. The LFO may be triggered through MIDI, or it can be followed using one or more side-chain inputs, allowing the LFO to follow the incoming signals.
You’ll discover ideas for your own styles if you don’t want to make them yourself, as well as some meticulously created presets.
Overall, there’s not a lot to dislike about this plugin. The sound designer has done an excellent job at creating diverse presets. All of the controls are logical and well organized, making it simple to get creative with the built-in tools. In fact, I kind of like it! It’s a wonderful new addition to the Cubase effect arsenal
Raiser Limiter
The Raiser limiter, which is now exclusively available in Cubase Pro 12, is the newest addition to the range of dynamics processing equipment that Cubase has to offer.
We think that the Raiser is the best dynamic processing tool yet released by Cubase, and we predict that it will quickly become your signal chain’s favorite.
It features ultra-fast attack times that allow you to dramatically improve the loudness of your productions without losing transients or transparency. Raiser is a flexible workhorse that adds the finishing touch to your mix, whether it’s for drums and guitars, aggressive limiting, smooth processing of vocals, or even full mixes. Raiser is an adaptable lion that will round out your production.
Cubase 12 Workflow Improvements
With version 12, each member of the Cubase family, from the high-end Pro edition to Artist and Elements, adds significant new capabilities and workflow improvements. With a complete variety of powerful tools, all versions set the bar for current music productions, with sound quality that is unrivaled.
In Cubase 12, the goal is to increase efficiency. You can now export several events in four different ways (Dry, Channel Settings, Complete Signal Path, + Master FX). 2 video tracks in a single project, plus a fourth for those using the multiple MixConsole features, is excellent news for video editors.
Share Between Different DAWs
One of the great things about Cubase is its flexibility. Not only can you use it to compose and record music, but you can also use it for video editing, podcasting, and more. And because it’s so versatile, you can easily transfer projects between different DAWs.
Projects from other DAWs may now be imported, which makes it simpler to transfer audio between disparate software. The use of Tempo and Signature data has been enhanced in the import tracks from projects feature, making it easier for you to exchange audio between different DAWs.
The Advanced Crossfade Editor is brand-new to Version 12. The end result is a nuanced, sophisticated blend of sounds, designed to appeal to fans of all genres. Think this way: It takes the best characteristics of electronic and hip hop music, along with vocal harmonization and catchy melodies. Unapologetically surgical crossfade editing is what it’s for.
ARA improvements (Melodyne and Others)
When you’re working on a song, it’s easy to get caught up in the details of bass, drums, and melody.
However, if you want to stay organized and deliver anything resembling a professional product, you’ll need tremendous preparation time before recording sessions, using ARA support on track level is a godsend for users of software like Melodyne.
You can switch between ARA programs on every track without interruption. The export capabilities are enhanced with sidechain rendering, which means you may export a stem and keep any sidechain effects processing.
AudioWarp Improvements (Pro and Artis)
Drums, in particular, now retain the phase relationships between microphones when edited and time-warped. Use as many of the included warp markers and snap hits/notes as you like. The feature also works in the built-in audio editor, alongside the Cubase timeline.
You may also duplicate warp markers between tracks, which is both a time-saver and a creative weapon.
Many of the Cubase features, including those listed above, are common to the entire Cubase family. The editing workflow has been improved and near sample-accurate volume, automation is no longer influenced by the set buffer size.
Access Professional Standards with Cubase 12 – Dolby Atmos
The Logical Editors, which debuted in an earlier Cubase version and were enhanced in the latest version, allow users to generate and customize the advanced logical capabilities accessible in Cubase Pro.
A few new features have been added to Cubase 10, including Dolby Atmos support (which will be included in a future Cubase maintenance release) and several features previously only available in Nuendo, such as providing two video tracks and more.
With the future Cubase maintenance release, Cubase 12 new Dolby Atmos surround sound format, allows you to create immersive 3D audio mixes for playback on home theaters and other devices. With Cubase 12, you can now mix and master your music in a true 3D space, creating an experience that is truly immersive and lifelike.
New SuperVision Modules
SuperVision now includes a slew of helpful new modules in Cubase 12, including a VU meter, spectrum keyboard, phase balance, level, and loudness histograms.
The SuperVision modules in Cubase 12 offer a comprehensive range of tools for monitoring your projects.
The VU meter provides an accurate reading of the level of your audio, while the spectrum keyboard displays the frequency content of your signal. The phase balance module helps you to keep your tracks in sync, while the level and loudness histograms provide valuable information about the loudness of your audio.
