Release v8.0-b17
Step sequencer fixes and improvements
- Added small delay between step press and note param activation (sliders) for less flashy sequence editing. Delay is equal to when the step press becomes long press.
- Added a setting to keep notes within their original steps when nudging
- In "Quick Clip Selector" (hold STEP), pressing an empty slot will create a new clip and select it
- When transport is playing, newly created clips will play too
- Added "note interlace" setting
- Changed alternating note colors to 8 rainbow colors, for better visual separation
- Refactored controller settings: re-add MonsterJam in your Bitwig
Release v8.0-b16
Step sequencer fixes and improvements
- Updated color scheme for alternarting note rows: now it's the note itself that gets the color instead of the background, looks much better
- Fixed regression in quick clip selector activation, could break switching between STEP mode and clip matrix
- Fixed regression in pattern page follow while holding steps, condition was flipped
- Fixed quick clip selector colors, was showing empty scene clips as white
- Fixed SHIFT button forgetting its normal bindings in step mode
Other fixes
- Fixed SONG button indicator for superscene mode, was not lighting up
- REC+GROUP to arm multiple tracks won't trigger transport record unless you mean it (with a single short press of REC)
Release v8.0-b15
Added major step sequencer features
-
Note expressions editor
- Now self-activated when steps are held, no longer need to press TUNE
- Added single row mode, control one parameter for all notes in a row
- Nudging a note will shorten it if it bumps into the next note, instead of bumping the next note
- Duration adjustments are limited to a single step (so it won't clobber the next note)
- Added parameter popup notifications
-
Step sequencer
- Added pattern page bank selectors for accessing up to 64 pages (via SHIFT-SCENE)
- Added quick clip selector (hold STEP)
- Pattern page follow disabled when holding steps
- Previous slider mode auto-restores after expressions editor
-
Fixed: step size and pattern scroll position could be set impromperly when switching tracks
-
Fixed: currently playing pages no longer blink for non-playing clips
Release v8.0-b14
- Step: multi-row notes were wrapping incorrectly
- Step: NOTES - improved activation (experimental). Now a single press activates mode, but holding+SCENE navigates to note pages without activating
Release v8.0-b13
- Step: note preview + setting. Pressing any step in step sequencer will play that note.
- Step: NOTES mode now restores automatically and reliably, per track
Fixes
- All scales are now correct, not just C
- It was possible for sequencer state to save on the wrong track, now much more robust
Release v8.0-b12
- Step: note selector jumps in banks
- Step: scrolling will display note range notification, many other notifications added
- Hold REC to arm multiple tracks
- Clear REC/MUTE/SOLO on all tracks with CLEAR
- Clip queued for recording will flash red
Fixes:
- No more collision warnings that TrackTracker complained about
- Adding new step would display wrong velocity in NOTES mode
- Step sequencer was mapped to wrong notes and not aligned with note pads
Release v8.0-b9
New:
- Lenient launch lookahead setting to compensate for event processing delay
- STEP: scales
- STEP: pattern page follow + setting
- STEP: alternating row colors apply to note selector
- Docs, of course
Fixed/changed:
- STEP: Brightness levels were not updated when displaying velocity matrix
- STEP: Sequencer state was not properly recalled when switching tracks
- Lenient launch was flakey upon initial transport start
- Lenient launch was flakey due to event processing delay on some systems
- STEP: grid window now bottom-focused
- STEP: note pages match Drum Machine layout (in chromatic scale)
Known issues:
- Switching scales does not attempt to preserve relative Y-position in the clip
- NOTES mode does not automatically restore on STEP activation
- NOTES mode activation can be a little wonky in general (but still harmless)
- TUNE mode does not reactivate with STEP
- Deactivating TUNE mode does not automatically reactivate previous slider mode
- README typos
Release v8.0-b8
- Fixed UserControl slider activation (again)
Release v8.0-b7

- Fixed UserControls not updating LED strips
- Fixed missed README corrections
Release v8.0-b6
- Experimental fixed color scheme for alternating note rows
- Added SHIFT+NOTES to toggle alternating colors
- Changed default grid mode from 1 to 4 notes
Forgot to bump the build version, so the asset file is still labeled b5.
