Bitwig introduces the Phase-4 synthesizer for Studio 2.3.

Get phasey with the new Phase-4 synthesizer, now available in Bitwig Studio 2.3

Phase-4 is a powerful and versatile phase-manipulation synthesizer, available with Bitwig Studio 2.3 (a free update for all Bitwig Studio 2 license holders with a valid upgrade plan).

Bitwig partners the richness of modern technology with some early, somewhat forgotten digital synthesis methods with Phase-4. Via this new tool, you can uniquely alter the waveshapes being produced, either while maintaining their frequency or severely manipulating it. So while phase is often misunderstood, its effects can register loud and clear to the listener.
