Both the release date and the pricing will be announced at a later stage. Please sign up for our newsletter, and you'll be among the first to find out.

We are currently in Beta testing. We will offer a trial version for download for everyone as soon as we release Bitwig Studio 1.0.

We already have a very long list of interested beta testers and can't guarantee a beta testing slot for everyone. If you'd like to receive news from us, please sign up for our newsletter.

VST(i)?	Yes, VST effects and instruments are supported in 32- and 64-bit versions. Bitwig Studio runs VSTs in a separate process. This prevents Bitwig Studio from crashing when a plug-in misbehaves.
AU plugins (OSX)?	Bitwig Studio won't support AU in version 1.0. We will consider supporting AU at a later stage.
OSC?	We plan to offer OSC support in the future, however not in version 1.0.
ReWire?	There is no ReWire support planned, but if you want to route audio and MIDI between different applications, you might want to take a look at the JACK Audio Connection Kit, which is available for OSX, Win and Linux.

Yes, Groove can be applied to note and audio clips.

Yes, we plan to offer default mappings for the most popular MIDI controllers right out of the box. We will also offer an open API so that interested users and developers can create their own controller support using JavaScript and share their scripts with the Bitwig community.

This feature is planned for version 2.0.

JACK and ALSA?	We currently support both, but recommend you use JACK.
LV2?	We plan to offer LV2 support in the future, however not in version 1.0.
LADSPA?	Currently there is no LADSPA support.

We just sent out beta invites to our first group of testers and will be rolling out more invites gradually based on the amount of feedback and bug reports we get. This staged rollout process gives us the time we need to address the most urgent issues and will help us avoid receiving too many duplicate bug reports.

Drop us a line anytime with your feedback and your ideas. We're happy to hear from you and try to answer every question we get. (contact@bitwig.com)
