thank you for this little insight garyboozy

bipolar macro if needed.
Awesome to see it integrated so well.

Great!

This must be the longest thread in history and Bitwig the longest beta test ever! To be honest I've lost interest in Bitwig and locked into Live. Some post version 1 features of Bitwig look interesting but 2 years and still no final product, it's just not worth the wait for post version 1.

This thread is pretty damn epic indeed and I don't have time to go through all of it right now.
I'm curious about Generic Tracks in Bitwig and what this means for audio/midi routing.

One of the things I find frustrating about Live is that you cannot route audio to drum racks etc to easily do sampling straight to pads. (similar to Maschine or hardware samplers).

Wonder if anyone can shed any light on this?

, this looks very good to me.

Hi Panten not sure what you really want to do with audio to drum racks? What type of audio? To be honest if I was using audio to pads I'd use something like NI battery. The new feature of audio to midi as drums can have interesting results.

Double post - that's for using a smart phone

CFM thanks. What I'm really asking is very related to my request here.

This was also highlighted to me when I started building my own sample chopping Max4Live Device. I discovered very quickly that if you want to sample straight to pads on a MIDI track you NEED to have a companion audio track. It just feels inelegant. Having the option to Route Audio In from any source directly to the MIDI instrument would be ideal.

yes the ability to put a drum rack cell to "resample" mode would be awesome.

its good as it is already with the 'resampling' option on audio tracks but wouldnt it just remove an extra drag and drop step from the way of greater simplicity?

For those who read german language, a friend wrote an article about the Bitwig Beta for LINUX. The author of this article is stricly not an Live user, he regulary use free software like Ardour so he has a different point of view. But he is impressed.

can't bloody wait to get my hands on this software, blah blah blah!

"Beim Start fällt auf, dass Bitwig Studio für eine so umfangreich ausgestattete Java-Anwendung bemerkenswert zügig und ohne Lüftergeheul betriebsbereit startet."

Bitwig is written in Java?! For real?! That's the first time I hear that ...
