2025 Recap: Our Favorite Articles and Videos
This year was packed with Bitwig news: In between launching Bitwig Connect 4/12 and announcing Bitwig Studio 6, we published a bunch of articles and videos covering all things Bitwig. Catch up on some highlights below, including artist interviews, beginner how-tos, and deep dive tutorials. See you next year!
Getting Started: Modulation Basics
When anything can be modulated, everything becomes an instrument. That’s the philosophy behind Bitwig’s highly advanced and flexible Unified Modulation System, which lets you control parameters at every level of your project. Watch this introduction video to learn how it works – and pick up useful tips for all experience levels.
Trovarsi’s Modular World
In our first artist story of the year, LA-based artist Trovarsi shared how she created a performance system that supports spontaneity and precision, with Bitwig Studio at its core. She also reflected on the importance of building community in electronic music, and explained why it’s all about expression, not gatekeeping.
Controller Integration in Bitwig Studio
When the trackpad doesn’t cut it any more, an external controller might be the answer. This in-depth article has everything you need to know about Bitwig and controllers. Find out why we develop extensions in-house, dive into community extensions, check whether your controller is supported (spoiler: probably!), and get a step-by-step setup guide.
Cristian Vogel Explores the Art of Wavetables
Years after his Bitwig Lab package, visionary sound designer Cristian Vogel blessed us with another sound package in 2025: The Art of Wavetables. To mark the occasion, he shared insights gained from a life in music, and tips on turning wavetables into cutting-edge sound.
Modular Concepts: Thinking, Feeling, and Math
Our Modular Concepts tutorial series returned this year with a special live session recorded at Superbooth in Berlin. Bitwig’s Dave Linnenbank takes three different approaches to patching: First, he feels his way through a signal-based note effect, then channels math to make a key-tracking delay. Finally, he thinks his way into a non-audio use of stereo. Whatever your style, you’ll find the patching wisdom to suit.
