Changes in Bitwig Studio 5.2, Beta 2 [released 14 May 2024]
NEW FEATURES
Wavetable (Oscillator) Grid/Polymer module: Added two new options:
Remove Fundamental suppresses the fundamental from each table
Remove DC Offset offsets the signal output to center around zero. This can transform wavetables made for modulation (such as the "LFO and Sequences" category) into interesting audio sources.
In The Grid, these functions are available in the module's Inspector Panel
In Polymer, the Wavetable oscillator now has a Pop-out Editor for accessing all parameters
IMPROVEMENTS
Graphics engine / GUI: Better fallbacks for various cases on Linux and Window
Graphics engine / GUI: General painting optimizations, particularly for The Grid editor
Separate functions and dialogs for Set Event Tempo… and Detect Event Tempo…
Detect Event Tempo dialog now allows minimum and maximum BPM values, to potentially improve detection results
New direct functions are available for:
Detect Event Tempo to run the default detection again, good in case you made a mess
Set Event to current Project Tempo to set the audio to match the project tempo at this time (the same as the old Unstretch function)
New algorithm for solving latency-compensation, which should fix the few remaining issues in this space
Transient Split (Spectral) device: Improved sonogram display painting.. and fixed a crash [35713]
Compressor+ (Dynamics) and Over (Distortion) devices: Both now use static sample rates when at higher project sample rates, reducing oversampling and CPU load
Note In (I/O) Grid module: Now does better swapping for some modules with logic out ports, as well as all modules with pitch out ports
Right-clicking Note In to Replace with now offers the Triggers, Gates, and Probabilities sequencers, for quicker generative patching
FIXES
Graphics engine / GPU: Some paint commands didn't consider Mid-tone/Black-level setting properly [35703]
Graphics engine / GPU: Fixed some various font crashes [35679]
Various time selection functions have been fixed [35682, 35685, 35686, 35678]
The full set of editing functions/mappings is now listed
Tempo detection is now working properly for short audio samples when launched from the Detect Tempo dialog
Expression editing: When points are created with the mouse, they are automatically selected for easy editing
Curve Editor: Pencil tool is now working again (a regression) [35744]
E-Snare (Snare) device: Was not playing back the noise signal when being triggered by MIDI controller (a regression) [35812]
Make Legato is no longer greyed out for audio events (a regression) [FLOAT-35655]
Fixed some incorrect trimming of audio event start times, when adjusting clip Start in the Arranger [35625]
JavaScript Controller Extensions: Now provide line numbers when errors are encountered [35705]
Fix startup of some older controller scripts that were sending invalid sysex messages (Reloop Keypad/Keyfadr and Livid Alias8/DS1)
Windows: Fixed a waveform rendering regression with ultrawide monitors [35757]
Linux: Fixed bad sound for the Wavetable (Oscillator) Grid/Polymer module
Recording note pitch bends was not always accurate (a regression) [35775]
Automation recording of certain parameter types in the Arranger (such as mute) was not preserving the off (unmuted) state (a regression) [35666]
macOS: Fixed a potential audio engine crash when scanning device metadata while device is being disconnected [35405]
CLAP plug-ins: Were not receiving modulation when your Audio setting for Block size was smaller than 64 samples
SSL Native Channel Strip plug-in: Fixed an issue when adding more than 8 FX tracks [35777]
