New in Bitwig land: Brazilian beats, controller tips, v6 beta this month

Bitwig is having a hot, packed summer. And there’s one big teaser: we don’t know anything about it yet, but Bitwig Studio 6 beta is coming on August 27, as revealed briefly on Bitwig’s socials. In the meantime, let’s play with some Brazilian beats and explore controller integration.

Bitwig hardware: deep Roto-Control integration; Connect 4/12 is here
