WHAT’S NEW

Version 1.3.8:

FIXED

• Crash when trying to select parent device via controller API.
• Automation recording would be turned on by punch in or end of pre-roll if “Write Automation on Record” setting was on in preferences but this should only apply when the user manually turns on the record button.
• Controller API: selecting layers in device layer bank does not work correctly.
• Controller API: allow to launch either group track scenes or the clips of the group’s master track via clip launcher interface.
• Controller API: observer for clip launcher slot selected state does not report correct value when pointing cursor track to another track.
• When clicking + button in a drum pad and selecting the same device as the last one inserted in the drum machine the device would not be inserted in the pad.
• Favouriting an item in the browser column scrolls back to the selected item in the list.
• Pinning device for a selected preset in popup browser would not allow unpin if the plugin no longer existed.
• Hardware FX does not report latency to PDC.
• A duplicated audio track reverts to the first hardware input if the source track had another hardware input selected.
• Crash when duplicating additive tempo modulation points inside a clip on the clip launcher.
• Potential crash when deleting time in arranger.
• Controller API: siblings track bank sometimes not scrolls to the correct section when selecting tracks.
• Crash due to being able to create a feedback loop by moving tracks between track groups that would cause more than one feedback loop.
• Using forward slashes (“/”) in track names leads to the creation of subdirectories when exporting audio.
• Sensitive area for dragging start/end of events is too small on hi-res displays.
• Controller API: devices on group tracks are not accessible using cursor device.
• Controller API: macros of devices in FX slots cannot be accessed when slot is closed in the GUI.
• Dragging automation time selection for clip modulation resulted in wrong preview and wrong data inserted on drop.
• If you get an error saving a project when closing it the project should not be closed.
• Controller API: cursorTrack.addCanSelectNextObserver reports the same value as addCanSelectPreviousObserver.
• Controller API: crash when selecting parent device using Push4Bitwig script.
• Triplet notes were getting truncated during playback when shuffle is on.
• When opening a project containing a VST the preset name always says “Default Preset” instead of the last selected preset the VST had when saved.
• Regression: License registration window for u-he plugin is broken.
• Overdubbing of launcher clips is broken.
• Controller API: crash when calling selectFirstInSlot on named device cursor.
• Pitchbend does not get converted to note expressions anymore.
• Controller API: crash when trying to access MIDI port with invalid index.
• ASIO: Crash with a buffer-size of 2048 samples when using a Steinberg audio interface.
• Clicking on clip launcher scene clears the note editor content in tablet mode.
• Stop button on group track in clip launcher is not lit, so looks like you can’t press on it.
• If you bounce a note clip that is recorded with preroll all bounces contain one bar of silence at the beginning of the bounced audio file.
• Recording with punch in and pre-roll causes clips to be recorded on the arranger with negative time.
• Audio engine always crashes if user selects weird buffer sizes on ALSA.
• Pasting of clip modulation inserts wrong data.
• Controller API: crash when diving into FX layers using Push4Bitwig script.
• Note length changes whe single-clicking inspector note length field for a multiselection.
• Eraser tool affects all layers in layered audio editor instead of just the target layer.
• Using punch out results in instrument track recording stopping slightly before the loop end.
• Controller API: cursor device does not work on tracks that have been created by a track bank.
• When dropping raw audio events into a clip the successive audio event sometimes gets deleted.
• Potential engine crash on OSX when scanning core audio hardware devices.
• Audio Engine crash when reading from disk failed.
• Controller API: potential crash in siblings track bank (Push4Bitwig script).
• Control Surface Scripting API does not open anymore from help menu in 1.3.6 on windows.
• Audio on Windows creates pops, crackles and slurring in 1.3.6 but worked in 1.3.5.

IMPROVED

• Regression: Notes are sometimes getting played twice (note from start of loop creeps in at end) when a clip is looping .
• Don’t have separate browser, inspector, mapping browser for each mode (PLAY, EDIT, ARR, MIX) in the tablet profile. Instead just one for all of the modes.
• Support Jack input and output latency compensation.
• Show path to selected file in popup browser and make it clickable to select a parent folder.
• Rescan plugin option not available for shelled plugins and only shown in presets browser not in device browser.
• Made touch-tap recognition more reliable on Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 and other devices with very high pixel-density.
• algorithm used for delay-compensation including fixes for modulation routing and complex side-chaining.
• Touch: The radial gestures menu for devices in the device chain is now only available from the device header, as it was too easy to move/copy devices by accident. .
• ROLI Searbord RISE: Added MPE pitch bend range control in script preferences and send the range on the right channel.
