Bitwig Studio 3 Is Out Now With Powerful New Grid System

Possibly the biggest thing to happen to Bitwig, the Grid lets you create your own instruments and effects from scratch and it's built into the heart of Bitwig Studio 3.  

Released in 2014, Bitwig Studio was the first music production software to combine linear and non-linear sequencing on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It paired cutting-edge technologies— like plug-in crash protection, nested devices chains, and a highly flexible user interface—with a lightning-fast workflow for keyboard, mouse, and touchscreen.

Now, meet Bitwig Studio 3, which opens a new window for working with sound: The Grid. You can check out our brand new dedicated video course about using The Grid here.

  • The Grid, a modular sound design environment sporting 154 modules and lightning-fast workflows
  • Poly Grid device: for creating synthesizers, sequenced patches, and more
  • FX Grid device: for creating audio FX with optional voice stacking
  • Automatic Project Backups, each time you re-save a project

Modularity has been at the core of Bitwig Studio from the beginning. Devices can be nested, clips are containers, modulators exist everywhere, and practically anything can be dragged anywhere. But with Bitwig Studio 3, we are zooming out so you can push in.

The Grid is an open modular environment that powers a family of new devices in Bitwig Studio 3: Poly Grid and FX Grid. With a vast library of modules and a supersonic workflow, you’ll be creating your own unique sounds immediately, and in high-fidelity. Simply add a Grid device to your project and start patching.

The Grid includes:

  • Fully-modular sound design
  • Fantastic sound quality
  • 150+ modules
  • Any signal, anywhere
  • Lighting-fast workflow
  • 4x-oversampled, stereo signal path
  • Construct a polyphonic synthesizer from scratch in one session.
