(You could even use this to take sound content from your Bitwig Studio project and route to external desktop or modular gear. But the ability to do this in the DAW, get output channels, and then use whatever processing you want – now that’s really clever. We’ve seen other tools taking this approach – think SplitEQ and Physion MKII, Kilohearts Multipass, and other spectral and multiband tools. I had a chat with Alex about this and I agree with their take. Updated: After overwhelming user feedback, Bitwig Studio have rolled Spectral Suite into Bitwig Studio 4.4. And as a counter-argument, it’s great having instant gratification – no subscription, no big suite to buy. But to me, is it worth an additional $79, if Bitwig Studio is your main DAW? Probably. Taking the obvious example, rival Ableton Live with Suite has created a pricing tier that is fairly hefty – compared to the ability to use The Grid in the standard Bitwig Studio. I think the real question will be how that works going forward. And because it seems so logically integrated with the DAW, it’s a shame it’s not part of the existing Studio package it makes Bitwig’s value offering less straightforward. The disappointing part of this, of course is – it is an add-on. There are a bunch of presets and clips included in the package. Let me say that again – apply any effects you want to any band/frequency/dynamic portion of a sound.
Harmonic Split gives you two groups, with non-harmonic content in a third channel. Loud Split very intuitively divides things up by “quiet, mid, and loud” sections.
Transient Split divides transients from tonal sounds.įreq Split lets you distribute a sound across four channels, like a set of filter banks. In particular, while this is a paid add-on and not part of Studio proper, what you get is the ability to integrate these tools with a channel strip and continue with your effects chain inside the DAW – beyond just a crude filter or something you might normally use.Įach of the Spectral Suite uses a frequency domain analysis, then gives you additional channels of sound you can use with other Bitwig or third-party plug-ins. But take a look past the UI, and you have a uniquely balanced and complete set of effects here.
There are other plug-ins with a spectral display, so various tools that look like this. Bitwig Demo Projects Grand Piano Lite Evolving Sounds and Sequences Bitwig Wavetables Polymerics Bass-08 Electric Keys. It’s a nice-looking collection, and we’ve got a hands-on look from Mylar Melodies. Spectral Suite is Bitwig’s first paid add-on for Bitwig Studio, focusing on sonic exploration in the frequency domain.
