Product Overview
More Than An Audio Interface
The Connect 4/12 is engineered for creators who demand deeper integration between their computer and their hardware. It serves three distinct roles: a high-fidelity audio/MIDI interface, a comprehensive monitor controller, and a hands-on DAW transport/parameter controller. With its unique "Bitwig Mode," you can hover over any software parameter and control it instantly with the weighted, 360° touch-sensitive dial, providing a level of physical interaction rarely found in standard interfaces.
Product Description
Hybrid Hardware & Software Workflow:
The Bitwig Connect 4/12 is a dream for modular and analog synth users. It features six DC-coupled 3.5mm mini-jacks (2 inputs, 4 outputs) that allow you to send and receive CV (Control Voltage) directly between your DAW and external gear. This means you can modulate your modular rack from Bitwig’s "The Grid" or use hardware sequencers to control software instruments with factory-calibrated, pitch-perfect accuracy.
Pristine Audio Quality:
High-End Conversion: Equipped with industry-standard AKM converters, the Connect 4/12 ensures every recording is captured with clinical transparency up to 192 kHz.
Flexible Inputs: Includes a premium XLR/TRS combo jack with 48V phantom power for microphones and a dedicated 1/4" Hi-Z instrument input for guitars and basses.
Pro Monitoring: Six balanced TRS line outputs allow for complex monitor setups (like switching between two sets of speakers) or routing audio to external analog processors.
Tactile "Bitwig Mode" Integration:
When used with Bitwig Studio, the Connect 4/12 transforms into a high-resolution controller. The 32 RGB LED ring around the main dial changes color to match the track or parameter you are controlling in the software. You can adjust gain, write automation, or navigate the timeline without touching your mouse. Plus, gain settings are saved directly within your Bitwig project, allowing for instant recall every time you open a session.
