Bitwig Studio 3 is built to inspire. Sketch new ideas. Arrange them. Mix them down. You can even perform onstage! Craft captivating sounds with more than 80 instruments and effects, using more than 10GB of world-class sound content as building blocks. What’s more, the new Grid modular sound design environment enriches your compositions with 154 modules and a lightning-fast workflow. If you use external synths, you're going to love Bitwig Studios excellent hardware integration. And best of all, all this music-making power is accessible via an intuitive, streamlined interface.

Bitwig Studio 3 offers loads of exciting new features

With version 3, Bitwig Studio has added a lot of productivity-enhancing features. The Realtime Ruler displays timelines in minutes and seconds. Ableton LINK version 3 enables you to synchronize workstations across technologies. A redesigned instrument inspector offers polyphony, two mono voice modes, and more. VU meters in Routing Choosers help you keep your levels in check. Reworked audio backends boast timing improvements on all platforms. And as the producers and engineers here at Sweetwater will attest: staring at a dull interface will give you a headache after a while. That’s why Bitwig Studio 3 includes global GUI Contrast settings — it makes the software pop on any screen. You also get Automatic Project Backups each time you re-save a project — a must for safeguarding your hard work.

Laptop not included.

The Grid ensures endless sound creation possibilities

The most exciting new feature in Bitwig Studio 3 is The Grid — a modular sound design environment boasting 154 modules. Two new devices, Poly Grid and FX Grid, enable you to craft everything from synthesizers and sequenced patches to audio effects with optional voice stacking. The Grid sounds amazing, and its lightning-fast workflow ensures that you’ll be creating in no time — just add a Grid device to your project and start patching!

Speed up your workflow with fades and crossfades

Working in Bitwig Studio 3 is fast, thanks to its enhanced workflow. Place fades and crossfades in the arranger timeline or audio editor. Or create fades for audio events inside clips. Then tweak their curve slopes to your heart's content. On top of that, crossfades are automatically created when you overlap clips to prevent unwanted pops and clicks.

World-class time stretching regardless of project tempo

No matter what your project’s tempo is, you can keep your audio in time with Bitwig Studio 3, thanks to its advanced time stretching capabilities. You can let Bitwig Studio analyze and stretch your audio automatically, or take full control with the software’s advanced stretching and editing tools. Whatever your needs, Bitwig Studio 3 includes eight different time stretching algorithms, including four flavors of zplane’s renowned élastique engine.

Excellent integration for your hardware synths and modules

In-the-box music creation is the wave of the future. That being said, true synth aficionados love their hardware. Bitwig Studio 3 makes it easy to integrate your favorite synthesizers, modules, drum machines, and more into your workflow. Its sync and note timing are top-shelf all the way. There's also a slew of devices that make integrating your favorite hardware machines via MIDI or CV/gate a piece of cake.
