Making Your Own Unique Synth From Scratch in Bitwig's Grid - From Concept To Finished

[@a_8764]

This is so cool. I'd love for this Grid-concept stuff to become a recurring series. It could also be fun if you have some strange idea/concept that you're not yet sure how to accomplish in The Grid, and make a video documenting the trial and error on the way to a finished patch. God I love The Grid.

[@DashGlitch]

Def more grid stuff coming! That's basically what I did here, it was purely an experiment and i documented the process

[@jasoncoetzeeadadjjzjdatune9617]

My brother Dash don't stop. I thought i made content, boetie Glitch turned up!

[@XinnXsya]

I totally wasn't taking the whole face pic thing you posted seriously.. but now, I'm taking it very.. very.. seriously

[@DashGlitch]

serious reacts only!

[@punyhuman5405]

Meanwhile in the corner, the CPU sweating profusely, great patch though, I didn't even know we had an allpass block in grid

[@cclark8088]

woah! gonna start watching more since you'are using bitwig now.

16:40 - I wish the Value knob had the built in mod out arrow like some of the other devices do because I've noticed that almost all of the time my Value knobs have the exact same configuration.

[@KarlandGuitarl]

man, this sounds beautiful! great patch! 😍

[@DashGlitch]

Hey, thanks!

[@daviHuggMonster]

Dash outsmarts us again :) awesome

[@brownboy0004]

dope video the grid is powerful

[@dr_regularlove]

Great video! Quick question...how do you copy a group of modules and paste them without the inputs and outputs like you do a couple times here?

[@DashGlitch]

I'm just using regular copy/paste

[@ywenp]

Gosh that's really something for which I'd want to be able to use bitwig devices directly from inside the grid (like drop in a regular Reverb for starters instead of having to fiddle with long chains of allpass filters). Regardless, awesome result! I wonder how it would sound with analog oscillators (like raw external hw modules outputs) at the start of the chain, could be even more lively.

[@hhal9000]

Great sound.How about a bit of granular texture in there for some extra movement?

[@CM-iz3xh]

I think the limiter lection always comes the hard way :D My Virus TI teached me this lesson because it sometimes decides that I had enough of chilled fiddling around and should increase my adrenaline level so it terribly shouts at me smashing the 0 db like a piniata. But its a good reminder to also apply this when experimenting with VST. Hope your speakers and ears are fine and you overcame your trauma :D

[@janondra5250]

Amazing. I wonder if the new plugin Magic Blur from GS DSP is possible to somehow recreate in Bitwig. What do you think?

[@HalfGodHalfBeast]

I like that bitwig is multi platform too. I think a lot of the other DAWs are optimising for apples new m1 soc archetecture and then making it also run on intel/windows. I could be wrong.

[@wewe-by8ox]

Dude,Can you also recommend a few channels for pro tutorials that have just migrated to bitwig?

[@DashGlitch]

There are a few other Bitwig creators - Polarity, Alckemy to name a few, otherwise for those who have recently migrated check out Ollie Music

[@wewe-by8ox]

@@DashGlitch I can see you really like bitwig lol

[@DashGlitch]

@@wewe-by8ox Yea I'm a bit of a fanboy, after many years of making music it's like a whole new dimension and the possibilities excite me haha

[@urehlav]

Man this modular stuff in bitwig is crazy. So much possibilities. Is this a stock instrument?

[@DashGlitch]

Everything is made entirely of stock modules from the Grid, which comes natively with Bitwig, yes. I presume you're a Patreon, meaning you will get the preset soon :)

[@BappinProductions]

@@DashGlitch worth noting that the Grid is only only in the full version i.e. not 8 or 16-track

[@HalfGodHalfBeast]

how does all this load your cpu. It would kill my cpu in ableton on my 12th gen i7 32mb ram laptop

[@DashGlitch]

I'm on a 3rd Gen i7 bro, Ableton is terrible with resources in my experience.

[@HalfGodHalfBeast]

@@DashGlitch think im gonna give bitwig a try through splice's rent to buy scheme. first 30 days are a free trial anyway.

[@endonyxoneaudio8644]

Hey dude I demand the goofy pics in the thumbnails or unsub.... ;-p

hahaha!

Hi A year ago I bought a bitwig and I regret it. There should be a warning before buying, for advanced users or for people with unlimited time. I am disappointed with the sampler and arpegiator. By themselves, they have nothing to offer. I don't understand why the sampler doesn't have a hromatic sampler feature. The database of presets and samples is terrible. As an inexperienced person, I would expect more. Logic Pro X is unbeatable in this respect.This is the most tiring DAW I've come across

[@DashGlitch]

Bitwig's sampler is insanely deep. It does have a multi-sampler mode(I pressume that's what you mean? Different sample on each note?), it even has granular and wavetable modes (IMHO it's the most extensive built-in sampler in a DAW). Maybe the factory presets just didn't suit your musical style? Logic is decent, but the sampler is far-less user-friendly - unless you're just firing off presets.

[@LogicBomb34]

@@DashGlitch A chromatic setting is the arrangement of a sample pack with notes sequentially. For example, I have packs of bass samples ranging from C0 to C1. in Logic pro loading samples shows me the option how I want to put them in the sampler. I choose chromatically and I have generations from the lowest sound to the highest. Things get messy in Bitwig. Another annoying thing about the sampler is that it does not cut into pieces and toss the cut sample onto the piano roll. In logic pro it is fabulously simple, in bitwig you have to do a lot of steps to achieve it. Sorry for my English, I use a translator. Hope I'm understandable

[@DashGlitch]

I understand you 100%, and I think you perhaps missed a few key steps/features of the Sampler :) there is a shortcut to drop samples "chromatically" or "multi-sample" as other plugins/DAWs call it. I'm pretty sure it's either alt or shift + drag. You can also drop the clip back into timeline and slice it automatically, and vice-versa. If you alt-drag (I think) a sample from timeline to the sampler infact - it asks if you want to slice to a grid or on the transient via an automatic detection system ;) I will do a future video on the sampler, but after using DAWs for over 20 years and having tried literally all of them and most of the commercial samplers on the market, to me personally BW's is not only the most intuitive and quick, but also the most extensive when you really start diving in. It's one of the unsung heros of the DAW to me :)
