They knew that, if they built it, we would come

NAMM 2019: Bitwig Studio 3 is shaping up to be a pretty significant DAW update, particularly if you like building your own instruments and effects.

It heralds the arrival of The Grid, an open modular environment that’s built into three new devices: Poly Grid, Mono Grid and FX Grid. Each of these is designed for a different purpose: Poly Grid can be used to build polyphonic synths; FX Grid is for creating audio processors; and Mono Grid could be used for designing drones and the like.

Eager to find out more, we caught a demo at the Bitwig booth.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
