Please note: This product comes in the form of a digital download code that will be sent to your email within one working day of your order. This is only for users of Bitwig Studio 16-Track wishing to upgrade their software to Bitwig Studio 5.
Discover Bitwig Studio, the innovative music creation and performance software for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Record and arrange in the timeline, perform in the Clip Launcher, and build audio devices in The Grid. Bitwig Studio takes your musical ideas through each stage of production.
Streamlined workflows
- Intuitive sequencing for the studio world and beyond: Use the nonlinear Clip Launcher and the Arranger together.
- Hybrid Tracks can contain notes, audio, or both.
- Use tabs to open multiple projects at once and drag-and-drop between them.
- Multi-display support for up to three displays.
Modern foundations
- A truly cross-platform DAW for Windows, macOS (Intel/Apple Silicon), and Linux.
- Native CLAP/VST plug-in support (32-/64-bit), and crash protection so audio never stops. Also includes delay compensation, flexible multi-out, and sidechain capabilities.
- Eight diverse time-stretching algorithms and sophisticated beat detection for audio with fixed and dynamic tempo.
- Hardware and modular-friendly: Send and receive MIDI and control voltage signals (CV/Gate).
- Multi-touch support for Windows and Linux, with a dedicated Tablet display profile.
- Flexible syncing options: MIDI clock, MIDI time code, Analog clock, Ableton LINK.
- Support for 100+ MIDI controllers included and native MPE support for next-generation controllers.
Modular and expressive
- Bitwig Studio’s unique Modulation System features 40+ Modulators (LFOs, envelopes, and other creative tools). These can freely modulate Bitwig devices, CLAP/VST plug-ins and hardware, allowing precise control of each parameter.
- Device Nesting allows devices and plug-ins to be embedded within other devices,making complex structures easy to navigate and presets much richer.
- With Operators you can sequence notes and audio events with operations such as Chance, Repeats, Occurrence, or Recurrence.
Advanced editing options
- Layered editing of multiple clips, across multiple tracks.
- Each audio clip can be cut into individual audio events for powerful editing and arranging.
- Comping allows you to combine the best parts of your audio takes.
- Bounce and Bounce in Place for Clips or time selection.

- Drum Machine: Drop in samples or electronic drum synths. Each note is now its own audio chain.
- Sampler: A versatile instrument for playing and manipulating audio with several playback modes, including granular or wavetable options and much more.
- Sweep: An expressive filter bank with two filter slots, one waveshaper, and a routing knob for smoothly blending through several configurations.
- EQ+ is a feature-packed graphical equalizer with up to 8 bands, excellent visualization, mouse gestures, and new algorithms.
- Phase-4: A four-oscillator phase modulation and phase distortion synthesizer for classic, modern, and future sounds.
- The Grid is an open modular sound design environment that powers a family of devices. It includes 200+ modules and a supersonic workflow.
