I decided to do a little shootout between Bitwig and three Eurorack filters which I have (A-102 Diode Lowpass Filter VCF9, FCUK System 100 clone, and a Polivoks clone). All clips use the same envelope from the Grid, as well as the same automation. CV was sent out through ADAT to my ES3.
I tried to get a few tones from each filter, and also approximate a bit of saturation in the Grid for the native ones with a Saturation device set to smooth curve.

Demoing the Hybrid Demucs V3, which is right now one probably the best source separation algorithms. To me, the results are nearly magical. Together with some MIDI transcription tools this is great stuff for just learning better what the musicians in my favourite music are actually doing, and of course for bootleg remixes :)

Yes - Total Mass Retain, source separated

Pentangle - Light Flight, source separated

Trying out the new spectral tools... Quite cool for manipulating the spectrum.

Another go at Reaktor granular processing. This time I used the Grain synth from the user library, it's a fairly basic thing built on the built-in granular sampler. I had three instances with one sample of different note each (CEG), and one more for the Rounds reverb.

I used the resonator device to create a morphing formant filter. Built completely from Bitwig native devices.

A simple preset using polynom and the audio rate modulator to create a waveshaper.

For samples on the arranger it's a bit tricky, you need to insert an audio receiver getting the signal from another track, or put a sampler before the effect.

Splitting a MIDI stream to several tracks to do polyphonic parts with monophonic hw synths.

First try at the Richter Oscillator II. Yamaha E1010 & Doepfer A-188-1 are used for delay and feedback effects. Doepfer A-103 & A-102 for filters.

Comparison of an arbitrary microtuning where I tried to avoid dissonant partials with the diatonic CDEFGAB note selection. First pass is the new tuning, last past from halfway onwards is normal 12-TET.

Beta 31 Spectrum

A novel harmonic series with an ratio of the golden ratio between the two first partials repeated through the rest of the series. Tuning is adapted a bit to the series, altough not really :P
