Bitwig Studio Mixer Control
Navigating Tracks & Channels
Now create an additional 8 tracks in the Bitwig Studio song so we have a total of 16 channels to
navigate. Use the [Track+] button to navigate to channel 14. That's a lot of button presses but
thankfully there is a quicker way. Press and hold the [Shift] button on Panorama, then press the
[Track-] button. This button combination activates the second layer on Panorama (in this case
[<Bank]) so we now view channels 1-8 again. Make sure the LED buttons are assigned to Select,
and press the LED button that corresponds to track 6.
You have now learned how to navigate Bitwig Studio tracks from Panorama using 3 different
methods:
• [Track-] and [Track+] buttons go to previous or next track in the Bitwig Studio sequencer
• [Shift]+[<Bank] or [Bank>] bank over the 8 channels you operate in Bitwig Studio but doesn't
change the track selection
• Pressing the [LED buttons] when assigned to "Select" enables quick channel selection within
the bank of 8 channels you are currently controlling from Panorama
[+]
The first display button is labeled with a [+]. Press the button to bring show Bitwig Studio's pop-
up browser. Navigating the browser will be covered in more detail in the section which covers
Instrument Mode starting on Page 14.
[Sends]
Earlier we covered how the encoders above the faders can control 1 send at a time for up to 8
channels. Pressing the [Sends] button in Mixer mode in addition allows control over up to 8 sends
for the currently selected channel.
To create active sends in the Bitwig Studio Mixer, first create effect tracks from the Add menu.
Once a send is active you will see the current send value above the graphical encoder in the
Panorama display.
[User]
The Panorama [User] page allow you to learn up to 8 global controls across a Bitwig Studio project.
Right-click any parameter you want access and select "Map to controller or key" in the popup menu.
In the Panorama [User] page, now turn one of the 2x4 encoders and the parameter will be
assigned. All learned settings are saved with your Bitwig Studio project.
