Current pre-release improvements
6.0.5 seems to have improved on the grid functionality within the arranger view. I found it slightly annoying how Bitwig never remembered how far in/out the zoom was set when reopening projects. That minor annoyance is no longer an issue.
Kudos, Bitwig team.

Another Looper Post
As a guitarist, I gotta say my number 1 request is a native looper in Bitwig. I have options, of course, but none of them are simple as far as I can tell
Ableton’s looper is very imperfect, and I don’t want to go down the Mobius route again after getting burned back in 2017 or so when it became no longer supported by the dev. Totally amazing software but you have to literally code your set up. I would much rather avoid such pitfall time sinks.
Ironically, my foot controller has a looper in it but I don’t fancy dealing with more digital-audio-digital conversion and my axe-fx’s looper just isn’t good. Any tips or suggestions? I’m generally aware of a bunch options but I really just want something more simple for performances and I’m afraid none of them strike me as a simple solution.

Best way to work with many sample-based instruments?
The project I'm currently working on has many sample based instruments that put my RAM usage near the limit. If I accidentally add another plugin and it reaches that limit my system will freak out.
Does anyone have any workflow tips for this kind of situation?

Vovious?
Has anyone tried to run Vovious via yabridge for pitch correction? If so, did you experience any GUI-breaking bugs? (i.e. JUCE-related, Wine version-related, etc.)
Additionally, I see that it isn't included among the supported DAWs per the official site, but has anyone gotten ARA working for Vovious in Bitwig?

How to best get started with Bitwig?
Coming from mainly Studio One - ehh Fender. Minimal Ableton experience but it’s been a minute (or decade.. or two).
Can anyone recommend a good YouTube channel or similar to pick up all the basics?
Any learning tips in general are much appreciated!
edit: wonder why this is getting downvotes - genuinely asking for help getting started in the best way.. nice..

For the love of god add infinite scroll on audio modules layer
In ableton its so much easier to stack lots and lots of effects. Sometimes you need 5 reverbs 6 OTTs and 2 compressors okay? This is the main thing I like about ableton, its not judgemental about wanting to do 'improper' sound design.
Its so hard to manage lots of modules with how bulky each one is, theyre hard to collapse, and the worst part is that I cant hold middle mouse to pan across before it hits the side of my screen and stops.
For the love of god please help us

LIVE user transitioning, please halp
Hiya, love BITWIG so much, it's basically LIVE 2.0 and it can opens ALS files so I switched boats instantly.
All this said, I can't really figure out how to:
get the speaker quick play in piano roll, I can double click on the magnifier but then it appears to skew up my loop points or whatever?
invoke program change from within each clip, ez-pz in LIVE
I'm used to double-click on PLAY to restart from the top, is it possible at all?
Thanks for any insight!

Open source spectral compressor/ multi fx, ideas?
Hi everyone, I made a spectral plugin that does compression, spectral sidechain ducking and EQ adjustments.
Here's the current very early version, Linux CLAP, and Windows VST3 and CLAP. I believe if your host supports it, you should run the clap on Windows too, it's a much more modern format than VST3.
https://github.com/Taikakim/spectral-forge/releases/tag/v0.1.0
Even at this stage, based on my testing so far, the scaling of amplitudes and frequencies seems to be perfect, and the compressor part does what it should pretty well. In the image a situation can be seen where a loud filter resonance is completely removed from noise without affecting the noise itself at all. If the peak moves it's more noticeable, the human perceptory system is very good in detecting movement against noise even at extremely low levels.
The concept is a system of effects where the relevant parameters can be adjusted per bin.
Now I'm starting to work on the multi-fx part and also the technically quite challenging part of increasing the resolution on the bass frequencies (you'll see, currently the number of bands gets quite low under 500Hz so the adjustments are not so surgical but more like traditional filters). There's already smear and freeze, and I'm working on contrast.
One thing I didn't yet try out at all is the automation of the parameters. I did ask to have the sensible ones automatable, but I'll needs to review them and also see that crazy things don't happen if the user modulates one with white noise at audio rate or something.
The plugin is free, and I don't have plans to sell it. There's no license on the code, it's completely freeware.
The thing is, the plugin was made with Claude Code in just a few days. Initially I thought I'll just see if it can create some kind of simple thing that runs at all, but to my surprise it got it nearly right on the first try.
Now I've been iterating on the UI, but what I'm mainly excited about is the fact that since this is so effortless and fast, I can finally start to implement all kinds of crazy effects I've wanted to do for years, but which have been impossible to create since an accessible modular framework for spectral effects doesn't exist.
This is built ground-up to be easily expandable, and I have ideas for literally dozens of unheard of effects.
So, if there's ever was a spectral effect you wanted to see and have for free now is your chance to speak up 😁

Bitwig focus on note in the midi editor
Hello!
I like to use shortcuts as much as possible without using the mouse.
Is there a way to select a note in the midi editor, after leaving the arrange view without using the mouse? If i select a different midi clip in the arranger and then shift+tab to the midi editor, it's loosing the focus. And i have to use the mouse to click somewhere on the background for being able to move the cursor and select the notes. i've tried all kinds of different shortcuts. But i'm stuck. All i want is being able to move the cursor directly with the shortcuts after selecting a midi clip and leaving the arranger.

Bitwig 6 stable techno
Just a wee hypnotic number testing out the 6 stable. So far so good! Even switching resolution back and forth quickly crash was fixed! Such a great job has been made with this. Even on my 8 year old notebook its snappy as anything.
Good stuff team!
