![]() ![]() You can also edit a note’s panning, timbre and volume curves. ![]() Per-note automation – Pitch variations can be applied to individual notes directly in the piano roll.Clip automation – In addition to traditional track automation, automation can also be recorded and packaged inside clips, both on the clip launcher and the arranger.You can bounce note clips to audio in place. ![]() Audio and notes can live on the same track. Generic tracks – Tracks accept any kind of material.Mixer clip launcher – An alternative view of the clip launcher aligned with the mixer, optimized for live performance and DJing.Arranger clip launcher – A non-linear environment that lets you trigger clips in real-time.Bitwig Studio’s arranger is a mix of editing power, ease of use and flexibility. Multitrack recording – Record and produce your music in an intuitive workflow.Here are the features for this new live performance and production DAW: Which isn’t too far-fetched, since Bitwig was actually founded by some former Ableton employees. Sort of what you’d expect Ableton Live 9 to look like…… core: Filling MIDI output buffers from the Song clips (initially choose one type of clip between pianoroll, step-sequencer, drum-box).Here’s something we weren’t expecting – developers at Bitwig, a Berlin music startup, have introduced a new music performance and production system, Bitwig Studio.īitwig Studio is in development and officially ‘coming soon’ – but it already looks familiar.Start exploring UI integrations (some progress already done with Electron, but would like to test Qt too).rethink the project submodules into something like (ui-electron, server and engine).core: Implement an audio based metronome and investigate the MIDI metronome drift.app-server: Explore ways to avoid locks and allocations from the real-time processing threads.app-server: Build MIDI output abstraction to send MIDI events to a device using CoreMIDI & PortMIDI as an initial impl.core: Management of time and sync between different clocks: Audio, Midi, Host, Ticks.core: Implement a basic metronome using MIDI notes.app-native: Allow MIDI configuration through studio.toml.core: Basic transport logic with accurate timing: play, stop, loop.I keep this roadmap for the record, although it might completely change once I'm back: I knew this was going to be a looong hobby project -P So I expect to come back to this project and apply all of my learnings at some point in the future. This is giving me a new perspective on several fronts such as MIDI handling, threads communication, and UI development. At some point I needed to explore some more ideas from a fresher and newer perspective, so I put this project on hold and started working on a different one (see kiro-synth). Since the begining I knew that the scope of this project was too big for a single person, but anyway I was willing to learn as much as possible by exploring ideas myself through this project. app-electron: Very preliminary prototype of a GUI with Electron.įor running the main application you need to run the following commands:.app-server: The application server that runs the Audio/MIDI engine.I have been exploring several possibilities for building GUIs, more information can be found in the wiki. The plan is to have an engine that allows communication from external systems such a UI or a surface MIDI controllers, through some RPC mechanism (currently WebSockets + some serialization protocol). I plan to make this project very modular and keep UIs as separate applications. This project is an attempt to build a music studio similar to Ableton Live or Bitwig Studio in the long term.įor the short term my main goal is to learn the core details about DAWs and audio programming, and may be to use the core engine to build more modest applications such as a VST host for development of plugins, a Raspberry Pi recording device, or a tracker.
