Bitwig has announced that its first hardware product is out now. More than an audio interface, the Bitwig Connect 4/12 is a class-compliant, 4 in/12 out CV and MIDI-enabled audio interface with monitor- and DAW-control functionalities and a unique Bitwig Mode.
Connect is a three-in-one audio/MIDI interface, monitor and DAW controller. Six mode buttons allow its 360°, touch-sensitive dial to adjust interface parameters or control software. It can set input gain, regulate the volume levels for two sets of monitors and your headphones, or even move the playhead and control any Bitwig Studio parameter with exceptional resolution.
The front panel gives you immediate visual feedback, with accurate input and output meters and a ring of 32 RGB LEDs around the dial to visualize parameter values and automation data. Plus, gain settings are accessible and saved within Bitwig Studio, so you can pick up right where you left off next time you open it.
With shipping starting on 28 April, Bitwig Connect 4/12 is available to purchase for 499 EUR / $599 USD / £439 GBP.
