Let's Build a… Synthesizer [Bitwig Studio | The Grid]

[@rigmarole]

You're like the Bob Ross of modular synthesis. Calming AND informative! Thanks for this series!

[@synaesthesia2010]

and here, let's have some happy little oscillators.....

[@MrMallum]

Love your little "woo" when changing the Skew on the Triangle....

[@DyspotikOriginal]

I just picked up this program a couple days ago and I am blown away at how intuitive it is

[@sonicgems]

How is it going after 3 months?

[@dzing74]

best DAW by far.

[@poindextertunes]

I feel like BitWig is my secret weapon. couple days ago i knocked out like 3/4ths of a completely original song(with vocals) in about an 1hr and a half. I absolutely cannot wait to bring my laptop to a foreign studio and show the engineers how I WORK 😈

[@zipnone1996]

awesome, this new update is ace

[@skippyfast5115]

Just Bought Bitwig so spending X-mass in a lockdown in NO problem to get my hands on BITWIG studies!

[@33tetragammon36]

I would like to see a "let's build a ....sequencer" video.

There we go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGiuqpl7mtt-iJY

[@kerwinfernandes9583]

Just installed 3.0, excited! Thanks n God Bless ya'll! :)

[@GabrielPerboni]

Oh... yeah..., now I understand how it works! I just arrived in the modular world and I was kind of lost. Thanks for the very useful showcase!

[@synaesthesia2010]

i learned modular synthesis using Reason's Thor synth, it's an absolute beast. there is a VSTi plugin inspired by Thor called Odin 2, well worth checking out

[@GabrielPerboni]

@@synaesthesia2010 Sure! Odin 2 is installed! It's for sure my favorite "ugly looking beautiful sounding" instrument (; Also, is CLAP! That is great if you are a Bitwig user.

[@suicain]

Love from Japan !

[@catvision777]

i like how you talk about the tools as if they were persons, "he" and "who".

[@Digitt6]

Can you explain how to create unison from these oscillators? I end up using wavetable cos it has unison mode, but I dunno how to make unison and detune with the "triangle", "Sawtooth", "pulse" and "union" oscillators thank you in advance!

[@KutAnimus]

ok this is epic

[@gudmundurThor96Nr2]

Next time it goes on sale, im there.

[@NathanChisholm041]

I see 4.1.6 is out! Nice...

[@Gnade]

Amazing!

[@RadicDotkey]

Can you build an interface like in Max4Live, or Reaktor? The grid view is kind off messy just for use.

[@bitwig]

You can use the device Remote Controls to build a simplified interface. That way you have access to parameters without having to open the Grid editor.

[@matthewwright9112]

Super Chill.

[@edm_pversatile1350]

Is this for Bitwig 3 or can this be done on Bitwig 2.5?

[@bitwig]

the open modular environment "The Grid" was introduced in Bitwig Studio 3.

[@owlmega-101]

I keep wondering, do we put Filter after Amp EG or the other way around? Or are they essentially the same thing so I can do whatever I think it looks good?

[@bitwig]

That's a matter of taste. Experiment!

[@KnzoVortex]

The only difference would be any sustained ringing from the filter might be cut off by an amp envelope with a short release. Otherwise they should be identical.

[@owlmega-101]

@@KnzoVortex I didn’t think of that (filter ringing thing)! Really appreciate for replying.

[@KnzoVortex]

@@owlmega-101 always welcome, I always just put the amp env at the end because my brain likes it in that order :P

[@NAM999DnB]

If only Bitwig was a little cheaper. Great video.

[@steven1671]

$300 for the full version isn't cheap? Try $700 (ableton live) or $900 (fl studio). Can't even use Cubase without a hardware dongle.

[@teezdalien]

@@steven1671 Or Reaper for $60

[@NathanChisholm041]

@@teezdalien Compairing Reaper to bitwig is like compairing a morris minor to a Audi R8!

[@teezdalien]

@@NathanChisholm041 No.. no it's not.

[@NathanChisholm041]

@@teezdalien As an owner of both i'd have to say yes! Reapers great but Bitwigs on a whole different level of creativity!

[@TimurBatyrshin]

Is there a way to capture audio input into sampler realtime (or to some simpler kind of circular buffer)? Didn't find anything like that in the blocks.

[@bitwig]

Yes, check the Recorder module, found in the Delay category.

[@СашаПетросян-и7ц]

Огонь!!

Rob Boss!

[@stellarium6602]

bitwig is great but i can not hear anymore these weird noises of saliva's swallowing. sorry

[@francescoNemesi]

Agree completely, I use a low pass filter to wash them away

[@KnzoVortex]

@@francescoNemesi You just gonna end up with underwater saliva noises... Our person just needs to get further from the mic.

[@madgedeepers5746]

Question.. How do you sex a Grid item?

[@bitwig]

That might be a matter of personal preference.

[@NathanChisholm041]

@@bitwig lol

[@wi2rd]

Add microtonal support!

[@BobingerAudio]

It already is capable of microtonal scaling you just have to patch it

[@wi2rd]

@@BobingerAudio No it's not, not properly. It needs simple per note scaling, which is currently not possible. You can get it working by adding an oscillator per note, but that is no good. Unless I am missing something, there is not good solution just yet.

[@robertablanca6469]

i bought Bitwig a long time ago...but i have not heard any convincing sound yet coming out of the GRID, this vid inclusive

[@bitwig]

Hey Bernie, this video series is really focused on learning, and we often find the simpler sounds most suitable for that. A vast amount of presets for Poly Grid and FX Grid are included with Bitwig Studio. Hear some of them here: soundcloud.com/bitwig/sets/sounds-from-the-grid

[@BromeliadBro]

This video is clearly not about showing off a "convincing sound"...it's about basic patching. YOU build the convincing sound, since you're the only one who knows what "convincing" means.

[@earthhwalkerr]

Anybody else hear UBKs voice? 😅

[@jeffreyjbyron]

Who are you?

[@noahsiekmann4275]

Why are all the modules male?

[@dorsia6938]

I think it might be an electrical engineering thing. I'm studying it now and I noticed a "slang" term is to refer to components as a "guy". I have started saying things like "he's connected to this guy, and so is this guy here" when talking about some breadboard prototype 😂

[@trevor4835]

i'll have to find out what's so special about this DAW..

[@kathleenwallace245]

Thanks, that's a really helpful synthesis tutorial, what I don't understand is how do you know each envelope & filter etc are all male elements & not female? They could also be referred to as transgender, pan-sexual & whatever else weird things they are etc these days. That would make synthesis even more mindbogglingly confusing.

[@BromeliadBro]

"weird things"

Don't understand why you dont gives subtitle.. In English at least. No anyone is open to all accents & fast talk....

[@bitwig]

Hi Alejandro, thanks for your feedback, we'll take it into consideration.

[@compucocina5567]

I would love to try that, it's a shame that i live in a 3rd world country and i can't afford that just for a hobby...

[@EnervatedSociety]

Download the demo, you can try it till your head falls off if you like.

[@mungojelly]

VCV Rack is free open source and uh also a much richer sound palette. For instance there's a free Chebyshev distortion module for VCV from Squinky Labs and it has a bunch more controls than the one they demonstrate here.
