La toute dernière version de la STAN de Bitwig est arrivée en version bêta, avec quelques nouveautés au programme.
Comme à son habitude, la marque propose une version bêta de son logiciel, avant de déployer au grand public la version finale. En plus d’une interface redessinée, les changements dans cette version 6 incluent notamment :
- Amélioration notable de l’interface visuelle
- Édition d’automation enrichie avec :
- deux nouvelles méthodes d’accès aux courbes (Automation Mode, Detail Editor Panel)
- des gestes de dessin facilités
- de nouveaux comportements d’automation Spread (valeur aléatoire dans une plage à chaque passe), Hold (maintien plat jusqu’au point suivant) et Curvature (contrôle de la courbure d’un segment via l’Inspecteur)
- des outils Pencil qui transforme le trait libre en courbe propre, et SprayCan qui dessine une série de points maintenus à l’intervalle de la grille
- L’automation devient un clip autonome, éditable comme un clip note ou audio : bouclable, étirable, déplaçable dans le temps, avec la possibilité de sauvegarder ces clips pour une réutilisation ultérieure
- Les Alias de clips, avec les outils Merge Duplicate Patterns et Make Unique pour rendre les clips indépendants
- L’armature de projet globale avec ses fonctions associées Snap to Key, Quantize to Key, et des modules Grid Scale, Scale Steps et Root Key
- Une répartition des outils et des sections révisée
- Les outils additionnels Audition Tool pour prévisualiser instantanément n’importe quel clip ou piste, la saisie rapide de notes, et la fonction Adapt to Key dans le pianoroll
- La rétrocompatibilité des projets : lors de l’ouverture d’un projet créé dans une version antérieure, Bitwig enregistre automatiquement une sauvegarde permanente du fichier original, avec numéro de version dans le nom
Compatibilité et tarif
Ce logiciel est disponible sur macOS, Windows, et Linux. La bêta est gratuite pour les personnes utilisant Bitwig Studio, Producer et Essentials et disposant d’un plan de mise à niveau actif (à compter du 27 août 2025). La sortie de la version 6 est prévue pour l’automne.

Bitwig has announced the release of the Bitwig Studio 6 beta, a major software update that refines and expands on the DAW's core functions. The new version focuses on improving workflow and introducing new ways of working with automation, notes, and clips.
The update includes a significant upgrade to automation editing, with new gestures and behaviors like "spread" and "hold." It also brings the concept of automation clips to the software, which allows users to manipulate automation in a familiar, clip-based format.
Other new features include:
Clip Aliases: A new way to handle repetition and structure.
Project-Wide Key Signature: A feature to guide note work across the entire project.
Updated Visual Interface: Improvements to the UI, including a new tool palette and better zoom options.
Enhanced Editors: Upgrades to expression editing and layered editing for both audio and notes.
Further details on the new features are as follows:
Extensive Upgrade to Automation Editing
Automation editing has been overhauled in Bitwig Studio 6. You can now access automation curves in two new ways:
Pressing switches to Automation Mode, overlaying each track with the last-touched parameter.
All automation for any track is now available in the Detail Editor Panel.
Gestures have been improved to make editing faster and more unified:
Clicking near a line allows for quick vertical dragging.
Automation points can be dragged past other points to overwrite them.
Time selections can be used to adjust a section of automation without affecting points on either side.
New automation behaviors also offer creative possibilities:
Spread applies a random value within a range on each pass.
Hold makes a point stay at a flat value until the next point is reached.
Curvature for segments can now be controlled in the Inspector.
The Pencil tool has an upgraded algorithm for drawing freehand, and a new Spray Can tool paints a series of held points at the current grid interval.
Introducing Automation Clips
Bitwig Studio 6 introduces automation clips, bringing a familiar clip-based workflow to automation. These clips can be looped, stretched, and slid in time, just like audio and note clips. They can also be saved to the library for later use.
New: Clip Aliases Clip aliases are a new way to structure and sequence music. Instead of duplicating a clip, you can drag an alias, which shares a pattern with the original. When you edit one alias, all of them are updated. This works with audio, note, and automation clips in both the Clip Launcher and Arranger. You can also use the Merge Duplicate Patterns function to link identical clips or use Make Unique to make an alias independent.
Project-Wide Key Signature Projects in Bitwig Studio 6 now have a key signature. The scale is visible in the Piano Roll, and features like Snap to Key [k] and Quantize to Key help ensure your notes are in key. Six note-shifting devices, including the new Key Filter+, have a Use Global Key option that follows any key changes in the project.
Updated Visual Interface
The visual interface has been improved for better navigation and customization:
Editing tools are now a palette on the right side of the interface.
Grid appearance can be adjusted from each editor.
Track headers are more dynamic and can be resized.
The new Arranger Auto Zoom option enlarges a selected track or lane.
The Clip Launcher now visualizes clip position and loop count.
Enhanced Editors Expression editing has been improved, allowing you to edit expressions like gain and pressure directly on the notes. This also includes the new automation gestures. Layered editing has also been enhanced, allowing you to select and edit multiple clips, even showing audio and note lanes side by side.
More Features
Bitwig Studio 6 includes many other improvements:
A new Audition tool for previewing any track or clip.
A Step Input tool for quick note entry.
A new Adapt to Key option in the Piano Roll, which uses colored lanes to show in-key notes.
Four new Grid modules for working with pitch and key.
A new safety feature that automatically backs up projects when they are opened in a new version of the software.

t'en penses quoi Gam?
Moi je suis déçu, ça avance mais bon :/
Pas d'ARA mais ça fallait s'en douter, sinon on l'aurait vu en grand sur la miniature :/
Le mode Scale, mouai, à voir en pratique, celui d'Ableton est tellement parfait à mes yeux.
Je vais aller voir la vidéo de Polarity pour plus de détail :/
Je ne remets pas ma liste de chose à revoir (de souhait) car ça me saoule de la partager
Heureusement que j'ai Cubase pour Rec, éditer, je n'arrive pas encore à composer et mixer dedans, mais va falloir que j'y songe vraiment :/
