what a shame that Bitwig studio doesn't have a "midi step input note" mode as Ableton, the notes can be chosen through the keyboard and a simple push on the right arrow inserts note or chords into the piano roll...I use this all the time and it's the only thing that stopped me to move to Bitwig
... prolly one of the coolest Bitwig videos, #cheers
Thank you for fast and simple howtos! Saved a lot of time!
i keep falling in love with this daw. thank you for making all this so easy, i come from FL studio and never looked back once.
Great overview and one reason why I love Bitwig! Super easy to drive my rack of gear
Wow. This is great. Thank you BWS Team
Very helpful! Thank you.
Great video!
Very intuitive video: Can you please make a video for Program changes for example to an external synth. Is there any way to have a program patch list saved or would I have to save 100s presets for the 100s of patches on the HW synth?
Can you make a video on how to learn and map midi drums to Bitwig? How do I move the hi hat and snare to the hi hat and snare?
Bitwig is da best!
your english is so good that i was surprised when you said "audio" and "midi" like the absolute german guy that you are :D nice, i'd love to be as accent-free as you are. also nice video
great video, thx!
One small thing, I noticed midi cc only works on your hardware device IF it's Inside the Note Effects slot on the HD Instrument Device. Probably obvious, but us newbz can spend an hour scratching our heads 😂
Great features! The audio side of things would have been nice to add , how to record the audio of the external synth back into Bitwig :) This is where timing and compensation really come to life.
Just make an audio track below your "HW Instrument Instrument" Track and set the input of the audio track to the same return input you have on the "HW instrument" device. Then mute the audio track so you aren't duplicating the volume, arm the audio track and hit record.
Bitwig is a great program and I finally bought it, but the midi editing is so behind the time and basic that it makes pro tools midi look advanced.
I can't believe HOW much is missing. Yes there's real time plugins for some stuff, but a lot of us are old school and do midi destructively with visual feedback on the piano roll, not real time plugins. The way to manipulate length for example is so archaic vs something like Logic, that I can't see myself ever composing in Bitwig from scratch, but I'd certainly be into doing audio remixing with it, and have actually decided to buy it on Splice with the rent to own and am on my third payment.
It's got a great UI and is very stable software. The performance on Windows is very very good also at low buffer but I haven't had a chance to test that on Mac yet, where Ableton suffers greatly, so hopefully Bitwig is better in that regard (Apple M2 Ultra, Live is useless under 128 buffer).
bitwig is the future of music creation, not also for electro, looper but also for all kind of style.
i create funk pop'song
dude! This video is the bomb! And i love that you DON'T start the video with asking me to subscribe and like. My response to that: I will like and subscribe!!!😎
How to use all 16 midi channels from my Roland Integra 7 on Bitwig. Cant find how to set up - so every HW channel will play 1 midi channel from Integra. So far I can hear all channels in one track HW. In Cubase there is not a problem. Many thanks for help.
Can you assign Track changesfrom the Mixer via a MIDI Controller? (I want to do this via a Live performace) Thanks!
How to Sync Tempo button of Akai MPD226 the The Daw that is Bitwig?
Please add MIDI SysEx support Bitwig, also a basic midi manager for setting up instruments over midi.
what do you mean? sysex is definitely available via the controller API, and as for the "manager" (?), you can save your device presets in the library
how is bigwig performing compared to ableton when it comes to jitter? do I still need the ERM multiclock or is it stable? drives me nuts in ableton live.
... sorry it I missed this, but using my Nord Lead with bitwig,
Is it easy to switch between using my Nord Lead keyboard sounds and switch to
to use the Nord keyboard to play/control the bitwig instruments
thank you.
You guys needed to make this video 3 years ago, Bitwigs potential to become one of the Best DAWs is hindered by not making more videos like this, look at what Akai mpc and software are doing, long time cubase, logic and protools user, Bitwig is the most innovative software, please make some updates to core issues in the software, which is being able to Mute External Midi Channels, and CV channesl, this is standard on every DAW from the main arrangement window, you can mute vst, audio but not all the things you are speaking about in this video. I know there is work around but this is basic stuff and we asked for this 2 years ago. Thank you for making Audio latency compensation a breeze, nightmare on most other DAWs. We want less clicks on the mouse, and more time to jam on the keyboards. Cheers.
Great feedback... What DAW would you suggest in place of Bitwig? Just curious...
@@ghost_in_the_robot I am using Cubase and Bitwig, as Bitwig is incredible for modular, but for final mixdown of all audio and processing of audio with external, still use Cubase, Cubase also have tutorial twice a week online live and you can learn lot there, that is what Bitwig needs to do. I stay clear of Abelton, the way it handles audio is just subpar.
I have been having loads of fun with note FX midi cc'ing to my external gear however I am having troubles with more basic stuff.
I map the CC devices to my controller no problem. But when I change tracks I have the mapping doesnt change. Its like everything is mapped globally...
Is it not possible to map controllers on a per track basis... Ie using the same knobs on mutiple devices be in controlling internal or external devices???
I feel I must be missing something very basic here???
So I got my portable Grand midi set up but when I record in the timeline, the notes show up but there's not a single sound when I play it back. Anyone know why?
how to Delete a Mapped virtual knob to from a real knob? Can't undo midi mapping...
i see you're using Erae Touch in the demo-a wonderful controller! How do you connect it? I use a Rise script for Midiin2 and a generic controller with the regular Erae touch input.
I am experiencing difficulties mapping the xy pads as the device usually only recognizes one axis and there is no picker menu after i click on "map to controller or key". So i need to build another layout that has the same CC as the XY pad but as faders so i can map them, then switch to xy pad(s) to control the device.
also, i'm experiencing hanging mpe glides-if i release a note during a glide, the next note i play starts with an annoying fast glide to the pitch i played from the distance of the previous glide.
Haven't experienced that in my other daws.
Try to temporarily deactivate one axis with Erae Lab while mapping the other. Not sure about the glide glitches, did not experience them so far.
i love bitwig, however it is impossible to get a keyzone split device to send midi into a bw track on anything but midi channel 1???? for example i have a NI komplete kontrol s88 with 3 keyzones setup with 3 different midi channels........ just will not be seen by bitwig as different midi channels..any suggestions would be appreciated jb
What am I doing wrong? If I enable midi clock, I cannot start the song I'm working on, neither with any of my controllers (PreSonus, Arturia's built in MCU/HUI), the keyboard space bar or the mouse. It seems Bitwig is waiting on some start/stop message from a place I'm unaware of. If I stop sending midi clock, all controller functionality returns, but my the arpeggiator on my Arturia is not detecting any clock. I've not had any trouble sending sync messages from other DAWs, but I'm by no means a wiz at these things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
got a big problem, how to do i make that midi is only read for the chanal that is open? i can´t learn the same knob on my controller for two(or more) of the same or different synt.
everytime i learno same knob on the different synt it change also the other one. there is no way i can produce that way cause i mapped my midi controller. i came from cubase and there only the chanels you use interact with midi. i can´t go on at the moment with bitwig cause of that
Putting a limiter on the main output (Master) in Bitwig should prevent any issues with unexpected LOUD signals.
at around 5:35ish you showed the MidiFighter Twister controller. I contacted the Manufacterer to see before buying if this would work in Bitwig. They told me No, Bitwig is not supported so I did not buy it. Can you tell me if its not supported how are you using it in Bitwig as it looked perfect for what I wanted to do but as I said its not supported in Bitwig. Thank you.
Any midi controller can be configured for bitwig, maybe with a script, they just meant its not "officially" supported.
just because they don't support it doesn't mean it's not supported
the API that bitwig offers to the controller script developers is pretty complex, AND there's a lot of open source people who write a LOT of the scripts
plus, bitwig's got MIDI learn and, like the guy in the video said, generic supports, so even if there's no SPECIFIC script, odds are the genetic will work fine
It's a generic MIDI controller and should work with any application that can receive MIDI data. I had no issues using it as a basic MIDI controller with Bitwig Studio.
Bitwig Does not Respond to Audient ID master Knob Controls either.. What up this this?
5:10 shouldn't the MIDI CC device be nested in the Note FX slot of the HW Instrument?
I love Bitwig solar but I hate Computers. Bitwig could start developing their own stand alone hardware. Please; with a swappable SSD. Ill help you design the CAD files for manufacture.
I wish I could just turn a knob on my synth and Bitwig would record the automation. I dont what to be looking through manuals for the correct cc value to map, this kills creativity, and prevents me from using Bitwig as my primary daw.
Ich hoffe immer noch auf eine besser HW Integration in Biwig. So sehr ich das Programm auch liebe, aber ich vermisse die MIDI Spur in Cubase, in der das per USB angeschlossene Gerät erkannt wird. MIt MIDI Ein- UND Ausgang, Aufnahme UND Ausgabe von Automationsdaten etc....auch in Logic funktioniert das!! Vielleicht bekommt ihr so grundlegend einfache Sachen mal hin, anstatt immer irgendwelche neuen Gimmicks einzubauen über deren Sinn oder Unsinn man sich streiten kann. Ich gebe die Hoffnung nicht auf 😁😁😁😁
HM ... was noch keiner kann - und das wäre ein wirklich interessantes Umstiegsfeature: Wenn Bitwig eine KI hätte, das den jeweiligen Controller automatisch erkennt und alle seine Möglichkeiten spielfertig bereitstellt. Bis dahin bleibe ich bei Ableton (ist zwar auch ein schwieriges Programm, ansonsten aber ist alles in deutscher Sprache), wobei es Bitwig noch nicht einmal schafft, als deutsche Firma eine komplett deutschsprachige Internetseite anzubieten !!
There is a VERY annoying bug in Bitwig (at least on Windows), where all MIDI ports are suddenly unusable. I've reported it a long time ago and even included a video with the issue, but it looks like they don't care because years later the bug is still present.
Very easy to replicate: when Bitwig is running, switch on anything that uses MIDI over USB and suddenly all other external gear can no longer be used (shows error that the MIDI port is already in use). Only way to fix it is to make sure every hardware device is already switched on before starting Bitwig.
the solution seems simple, especially in case of bitwig: stop using windows, it's pretty much the worst possible OS choice for music
@@vozh-kc And what would be better? Mac? No thanks, I don't want an OS that breaks compatibility with every update. I also don't want to buy a computer at more than double the price of the spare parts.
@@kris_lx good thing i never said anything about mac then huh (even though the only situation you'd be running into incompatibilities THIS often is if you're actually running a hackintosh or something but whatever)
no, the reason i mentioned bitwig specifically is that running it on linux (natively!) is VASTLY superior to windows
@@vozh-kc No thanks, I like to use multiple DAWs and have a lot of plugins, most of them are not available for Linux.
Anyway, it's NOT a Windows problem, it's a Bitwig problem. If it was Windows I would see it in all DAWs, but I only have it in Bitwig.
@@kris_lx whether they're "available" is irrelevant. WINE + yabridge make basically every VST work without any issues whatsoever, and that's on top of not having to deal with windows' shitty low-latency audio options, be they asio or wasapi
but hey, its your choice to deal with the worst possible option for musicmaking, maybe you get off on it, idk
