Bitwig Studio 3.1 is here, bringing a tuned-up selection of pitch features

While Bitwig Studio 3 focused on The Grid, the DAW’s new modular sound design environment, version 3.1 is stuffed with expanded pitch features. And, having been launched in beta last month, it's now been made available.

To begin with, there’s a new Note FX device, Micro-pitch, which can be used to retune note streams in a variety of ways. Pitch 12, meanwhile, is a new modulator that provides a modulation signal when a note is pressed. There’s now a Transpose module in The Grid, and the window footer in Bitwig Studio now shows frequency and pitch.

There are editing and workflow improvements, too, and a variety of feature additions across the board.

Find out more on the Bitwig website; the Bitwig Studio 3.1 update is available to all customers with a license and active upgrade plan.
