Bitwig Notes

Layered Editing Mode in Bitwig

I like arranging horn parts in the DAW, and one of the challenges that I encounter has been to be able to easily view and manipulate MIDI note data for multiple parts at once. Reason allows for this with relative ease by selecting several tracks at once, but Bitwig comes at it a little differently. You still select multiple clips (a folder track in this instance), and then you click the tiny layers icon in the lower left of the clip editor window to reveal the Layered Editing view. From here you can select the part on the left and then edit the notes as desired. This handy documentation is in the manual, and can be found on page 315. 

Like so many things it seems ridiculously easy once you know how!
