Bitwig Studioedit

Bitwig Studio is a digital audio workstation (DAW) and music production software developed by Bitwig. It offers both linear and non-linear workflows for sound creation, recording, live performance, and environmental audio. Bitwig Studio is designed to be a complete package for sound exploration and delivery of audio experiences.

Bitwig Integration with TouchDesigneredit

TDBitwig is a set of TouchDesigner components that allow for communication between Bitwig Studio and TouchDesigner. The TDBitwig functionality enables users to create custom audio-visual performances by integrating real-time visuals with live audio output.

TDBitwigedit

With TDBitwig, TouchDesigner can control Bitwig Studio parameters, such as tempo, track properties, clip launching, and device parameters. Conversely, Bitwig Studio can also control TouchDesigner parameters for creating tightly integrated audio and visuals.

TDBitwig enables the creation of generative, immersive audio-visual performances and installations by combining the real-time audio processing capabilities of Bitwig Studio with the real-time 3D rendering capabilities of TouchDesigner. With its ability to generate audio visual effects simultaneously, TDBitwig empowers artists to craft complex and captivating experiences that seamlessly blend sound and vision.

Bitwig supports a wide array of hardware controllers for live performances and show control. TouchDesigner can connect with these audio-centric devices through TDBitwig.

TouchDesigner is a visual programming tool for building interactive experiences, visualizations, generative 2D/3D art, user interfaces, and is used for education, VJing, basement prototyping and experimentation. TouchDesigner includes powerful tools for massaging data and controlling signals, interoperating and communicating with a wide range of physical devices, protocols and software tools, and driving video/audio/data to pro video cards, DMX, LEDs, projectors, screens, lasers, robotics, internet, web streaming, AR/XR/VR and more.
