Bitwig Studio 2.2 Introduces Ableton Link Support, New Devices and Sounds

Bitwig has announced Bitwig Studio 2.2, introducing a series of features including, perhaps most exciting, the support of Ableton Link. Bitwig Studio 2.2 also introduces a new Time Shift device as well as four new modulation devices.

New Devices

• TIME SHIFT: This device allows for fine-grained time adjustments anywhere in your device chain, useful for getting things in time or as a creative tool in the mixing process.
• AUDIO RATE: Grab any audio signal in your project as a modulation source. The power of true audio rate frequency modulation at your fingertips.
• POLYNOM: Feed your modulation signals into mathematical formulas to achieve sophisticated and flexible transformations.
• QUANTIZE: Reshape any modulation signal and give an edge to smooth curves with the Quantize modulator.
• SAMPLE AND HOLD: A real classic in the analog synth world, the Sample and Hold modulator lets you introduce chaos and breathe life into your modulation setup – as random or ordered as you like.

In addition to Ableton Link support and the new devices specified above, Bitwig Studio 2.2 also brings 3+ GB of new multi-sampled instruments and presets, as well as aesthetic improvements that include an on-screen keyboard panel and dual-display profile.
