Audio In

Audio In module panel in Bitwig Grid
Audio In in Bitwig Grid 6.0.6.

The stereo audio signal entering the surrounding Grid device's audio input buss.

What it does

Audio In brings the device's upstream audio into the Grid graph. It is the usual starting point for FX Grid processing and can also expose an available input buss in other Grid device contexts.

Controls and ports

Control Label Official description
out Out Signal received from the device's audio in buss

Practical uses

  • Feed an FX Grid filter, shaper, delay, or analyzer from the track's incoming audio.
  • Split dry audio into parallel processing paths and recombine them before Audio Out.

Things to know

  • Audio In is different from Audio Sidechain, which selects another project path, and HW In, which selects physical hardware.
  • The signal is stereo and may exceed the nominal -1 to +1 range.
  • Device-chain latency and any dry/wet behavior belong to the enclosing Grid device.

Technical details

No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.

This is a host buss terminal: conceptually grid_audio = device_audio_input at the application's processing boundary. It performs no documented gain, clipping, or channel conversion, and no standalone Nitro DSP body is expected for the routing terminal.

Open questions

  • Verify availability in all three Grid devices, channel expansion, latency, bypass, suspension, and behavior with missing upstream audio.

Version and sources

Checked against Bitwig Studio 6.0.6. This page combines Bitwig's module metadata, the existing Grid course and guides, and Nitro analysis where the mapping is strong enough to support a technical statement.
