Bitwig Studio is a powerful DAW (digital audio workstation), live music performance tool and show controller. TDBitwig is a family of TouchDesigner components that communicate between TouchDesigner and Bitwig Studio, simplifying workflow and expanding artists' ability to create complex and captivating audio-visual-sensory experiences.

With TDBitwig, most of Bitwig's data can flow into TouchDesigner. Bitwig Studio can control parameters and virtually anything in TouchDesigner. At the same time, TouchDesigner can control Bitwig Studio parameters such as effects, tempo, track properties, clip launching, and device parameters. TouchDesigner can connect to the numerous audio-centric hardware controllers supported by Bitwig.

TDBITWIG - BRIDGING TOUCHDESIGNER AND BITWIG
There are ten TDBitwig component types, each for a different structure in Bitwig. For example, the Track component would be replicated, one Track component for each track in a song or composition. A Track component receives data from Bitwig that is presented as parameters or UI elements, but it also contains the parameter user interface to remote control back to Bitwig. TDBitwig components would be replicated for songs, clips, clipslots, notes, remotes.
TDBITWIG ENABLES A SOLO ARTIST OR COLLABORATING ARTISTS TO THINK MORE FREELY WHEN DESIGNING AND BUILDING ALL ASPECTS OF AN AUDIO VISUAL PERFORMANCE OR EXPERIENCE.
