Bitwig has announced the release of its second major update this year. The previously announced Bitwig Studio 5.1 introduces 10 new modules (4 filters and 6 waveshapers), with 10 different sonic personalities.

Some emulate classic structures, but most achieve their own, unique sonic qualities. They can be loaded into the new audio FX containers Filter+ and Sweep or used as patch modules within The Grid. The filters — plus a brand-new oscillator — are also accessible as modules in our semi-modular synthesizer Polymer, which means they’re all accessible in every edition of Bitwig Studio. Additional voice stacking modulators have established a corresponding category, and important workflow improvements make audio editing faster and our mixer smarter.

The release of 5.1 also involves two new tutorial videos introducing the latest features and a new sound package that shows them in use.

Bitwig Studio 5.1 is available now as a free upgrade for all Bitwig Studio license holders with an active Upgrade Plan.

New users can still save up to 100 USD/EUR on a purchase of Bitwig as part of its Winter Special promotion until January 8th, 2024.
