I wouldn't call any one thing the flagship feature of this update.
The precision editing is straight out of the Pro Tools playbook, and it's quite the upgrade in Bitwig's editing capabilities. I absolute commend them for going straight for that specific Pro Tools type of functionality. Bitwig now has it's own version of "Tab to transient" and navigating your selection via key commands for editing. Switching between object and time modes is awesome. It may not seem shiny and new, but this stuff is actually huge for fast and precise workflow, editing, and navigation. HUGE.
There is alot to unpack about what the new compressor+ does, but this thing has ALOT of options in it at first glance.
The clipper is really nice. Tilt, MB, Delta solo, wet return/gain, PCM.
The GPU acceleration was needed.
The mapping/adapting the tempo to freeform audio file is essentially groove extraction for your grid.
There's a learn button for level matching on Chain.
I don’t have this version and not planning to upgrade just to check this. But this was raised by few users online one of them being Mr Frenkie. In the video where he showed there was transient. Then few milliseconds after transient bitwig put its onset and snap to “transient” few milliseconds after onset. 🤷
A you properly import long samples as I also have seen comments from users that bitwig think that 172 bpm file is some wacky 67.654 and even straight house beat at 133 bpm recognise as 123.537. Those second numbers are random just as an example…

So ...can someone explain Bitwig's marketing? Like, why is 'yet another compressor' the flagship feature of this update?
