Bitwig's official channel introduces Stepwise, a step sequencer device added in Bitwig Studio 5.3, with a quick walkthrough of its core controls and workflow.
Note entry works across eight lanes, each triggering a different pitch. Steps can be set to normal or accented, with accent levels defined relatively to the lane's overall velocity, so adjusting the lane velocity scales both together.
Each lane has its own Rate setting to control playback speed, an Offset to shift its timing forward or back, and a Groove toggle that ties it into the global shuffle. Right-clicking a lane gives access to copy and paste, while the wrench icon opens additional editing options including nudge and flip.
