Bitwig has announced the upcoming Bitwig Studio 3, a new major upgrade to cross-platform music production software.
Version 3 will open a new window for working with sound with “The Grid”.
As was hinted at from the start, Bitwig Studio was always intended to provide a fully-modular sound design option, and this has become reality with The Grid. The Grid is an open modular environment built in to three new devices: Poly Grid, Mono Grid and FX Grid.
While all Grid devices work in the same way, each allows for different configurations. Want to build a polyphonic synth? Start with Poly Grid. Need an adaptive audio effect with your signature sound? FX Grid will chew up incoming audio, either gently or otherwise. In the mood for cascading drones? Mono Grid is a great workbench for you. And when your idea morphs, just take what you’ve made and move to a different device.
Sporting a bevy of Grid modules and a supersonic patching workflow, The Grid is a truly modern modular patching environment that lives within its family of new devices. Ideal for designing sounds and harnessing synthesis.
As a new, native element in Bitwig Studio, The Grid is accessible in myriad ways:
- Grid devices can be nested or layered along with other devices and plug-ins, and they are controllable via MIDI mapping and from the Open Controller API.
- Song position is available as a sample-accurate signal, locking a patch in The Grid to the project’s timeline.
- Arranger or clip-based automation can be added for any parameter in grid patches, even in combination with Bitwig Studio’s existing modulators.
- Grid modules like envelopes, LFOs, and sequencers all have modulator outputs as well. And just as Bitwig Studio’s modulators can control any parameter in The Grid, any grid signal can be used to modulate child devices.
- With dedicated grid modules for sending any control, trigger, or pitch signal as CV Out and receiving any CV In, hardware can be seamlessly integrated with The Grid.
In The Grid, all signals are created equal and 4x-oversampled for the highest sound quality. All signals are interchangeable so any out port can be connected to any in port. Every signal is stereo. That includes control signals, which indirectly affect audio. And plenty of modules can Stereo-ize signals, adding variety where needed.
With The Grid’s quick workflow gestures, new modules can be dropped directly onto ports, automatically wiring them into your patch. And for signals that are needed regularly, there is the option of pre-cords. These clickable icons appear beside in ports, allowing common connections to be made wirelessly.
After pitch, timbre, and loudness, phase is the essential element of sound, capable of driving basic time functions, complex modulation synthesis, and so much more. With a dedicated category of phase modules, Bitwig has made these concepts freshly accessible and newly relevant for modern music production.
Bitwig Studio 3 will be previewed at NAMM and it is expected to release in Q2 2019.

This plugin was in my wishlist since release
I’m willing to win this one.
Lots of people have great things to say about this plugin. Here’s hoping
Awesome plugin, fell in love this demo
It would be amazing to win such plugin
Nice! I recently demo’d this and it’s excellent. Am hoping it will replace the PA Black Box HG-2 in my mixes.
The intro video makes absolutely no sense. No sound examples, some absolutely run off the mill trap music or whatever. But a great plugin nonetheless.
Hello!
Choose me :D
Usually I would say it’s about skill and your ability to Listen carefully to make a good Mix. You can produce good mixes with stock plugins.
But this thing feels like making me a better Producer. And of course a better person overall.
Would love to get this!
Wow, what a great prize!
I’ve seen it used in a mastering studio to save an anorexic mix and i was amazed by the results
Oh my God. Wanted to buy this two weeks ago till something happened that made me broke. Now seeing this coming up feels somehow strange and kind of destiny.
Whoever wins this One will get the best Situation Plugin that is out there.
Good luck to all of you
I want to get to know the Tone Projects Plugins!)

As I never ever won something nor will win something in the future, I hope for a good deal on Black Friday. This sounds really amazing!

I’d love to get Kelvin, as I’m already a bit fed up with Celsius…
This should be good :)
Thanks :)
Gimme, gimme…
Unisum has been a game changer for mastering ITB. Many times my clients send me mixes that have a tiny bit of purposeful distortion on them and using a compressor that adds character brings that distortion too far forward. Unisum helps me get the gains I need in the most transparent and uncolored way possible and lets me get competitively loud masters much faster and easier. Conversely, some mixes I get are a little dull and need some mojo added and I am sure Kelvin would be a fantastic tool to use for this.
More tone, please!
I want kelvin!!! It’s best saturator on a market.
It’s exactly 302.15 Kelvin now here in my city. Think I need some saturation.
I want Kelvin!
I have high expectations for this plugin.
I’ve heard great things about their Unisum Mastering compressor. Kelvin Tone Shaper is said to be equally as outstanding. A real game changer!
I’ve been holding out for BF to get this! Great plugin!
great plugin
You can never have enough saturation.
Looks nice!
I’ve seen good things about this plugin, their compressor is a beast for sure!
