Discover Bitwig Studio 4, the innovative music creation and performance software. Record and arrange in the timeline, perform in the Clip Launcher, and build audio devices in The Grid. Bitwig Studio takes your musical ideas through each stage of production.

Streamlined Workflows

• Intuitive sequencing for the studio world 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.

Modern Foundations

• A truly cross-platform DAW (Windows, macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon/M1), Linux).
• Native VST plug-in bridge (for 32-/64-bit support), and VST crash protection so audio never stops. Also includes delay compensation, flexible multi-out, and sidechain capabilities.
• Eight diverse time-stretching algorithms.
• Hardware- and modular-friendly: Send and receive 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 of numerous MIDI controllers out of the box and native MPE support for next-generation controllers.

Modular and Expressive

• Bitwig Studio’s unique Modulation System features 30+ Modulators (LFOs, envelopes, and other creative tools). These can freely modulate Bitwig devices, VST plug-ins, and hardware, allowing precise control of each parameter.
• Device Nesting allows devices and plug-ins to be embedded within other devices. This makes complex structures easy to navigate and presets much richer.
• With Operators you can sequence notes and audio events with operations such as Chance, Repeats, Occurrence, or Recurrence.

Advanced Editing Options

• Layered editing of multiple clips, across multiple tracks.
• Each audio clip can be cut into individual audio events for powerful editing and arranging.
• Comping allows you to combine the best parts of your audio takes.
• Bounce and Bounce in Place for Clips or time selection.

130+ Devices Included

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

Bitwig Studio includes instruments and effects such as:

• Polysynth, our subtractive synthesizer: Two flexible oscillators plus drive, waveshaping, feed-back, and a lush filter equals so much more. 
• 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.
• Amp: A flexible and powerful amp simulator.
• EQ+ is 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 is an open modular sound design environment that powers a family of devices. It includes a vast library of modules and a supersonic workflow.
• 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? Polymer covers them all.
