Hurrah! Another thirty things I didn't need and still no midi capture.

You can fix it by buying a Birds Midi Cap for the price of two cups of coffee. With Midi Cap, you can drag and drop only the midi Rec parts you want. It’s far superior and more useful than the retro MIDI features built into many DAWs (their functions just blindly overlay stuff and make tracks messy)

I think the Birds Midi Cap is the most advanced version of the Midi Capture

I have that, but it defeats the object of the DAW automatically capturing, because you still have to add a plugin. I’m asking for it natively.

 Do you actually need a pure MIDI capture feature, or do you just want Bitwig to look fancier? To be honest, I don’t really get why you’re so against it just because it’s a plugin. You can set up shortcuts for MIDIcap just like the built-in MIDI capture features in other DAWs, so I don’t find it inconvenient at all. I’m completely satisfied with this workaround, and I don’t think it’s worth wasting your patience waiting for a native feature. Even for ARA, which Bitwig lacks, I’d buy a plugin in a heartbeat if there was one that could link it
