Bitwig Community Challenge #3 begins next month! I'm opening the poll right now to give us about a week to vote. Vote for the challenge you want for August 2016. This poll will close on July 31st 11:59 PM, then the challenge will immediately begin on August 1st. This challenge will last from August 1st until August 25th 11:59 PM. This gives us about 24 days to complete the challenge. EVERYTHING MUST BE CREATED USING ONLY DEVICES AND SAMPLES THAT ARE FOUND IN BITWIG. NO THIRD PARTY CONTENT!
