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

A click-reduced manual cross-switch between two incoming signals.

What it does

Toggle In chooses which of two input cables reaches one output. The control looks binary, but the implementation crossfades briefly between the inputs when the state changes.

Controls and ports

Control Label Official description
routing Routing Connects either in port 1 (when off) or in port 2 (when on)

Practical uses

  • Switch between two oscillators, modulators, sequencers, or effect returns without repatching cables.
  • Create A/B sound states whose source selection can be stored with the patch.
  • Select between a dry and processed branch when Blend's continuous Mix control is unnecessary.

Things to know

  • Off selects In 1 and on selects In 2.
  • Switching uses a 10 ms smoothstep crossfade rather than an instantaneous selector.
  • During the transition both inputs contribute, so unrelated or opposite-polarity signals can change level temporarily.
  • Toggle In is panel-state controlled; Select In is the corresponding signal-controlled routing concept.

Technical details

A high-confidence Nitro implementation candidate supports the technical summary, but the visible-module mapping remains inferred.

The exact grid/mix/grid_toggle_in body smooths the Boolean selector into p over 10 ms using p=x^2*(3-2x), then computes out=(1-p)*a+p*b. On start/reset the state is initialized directly from the current selector, avoiding a startup crossfade from the wrong input.

Open questions

  • Measure transition timing, rapid retrigger behavior, stereo phase, and automation interaction.
  • Verify unconnected-input behavior and whether the wrapper performs any level compensation.
  • Confirm voice scope and reset behavior in Poly Grid versus FX Grid.

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.
