This Bitwig V5 SYNTH trick is crazy!!!

[@tommylockett99]

Wow, you have made one of the most amazing videos, I am new to Bitwig, so this really opens some doors to the possibilities of what this software can do, thank you!

[@codelabs]

Wonderfully creative demonstration of multiple sound synthesis concepts

[@distrologic2925]

Bitwig is the DAW everybody always dreamed about.

[@macronencer]

The fact that you made an FM synth with LFOs tells me that Bitwig has some damn solid code in it. Impressive!

[@OriginNowSound]

ive bin doing this with hardware samplers, turns out i've really been trying to push all software like this now! I thought it was secret things I do but seems other people are on this tip also! was shocked to see what your doing, I couldn't explain it as good as you I dont think. every time I try and explain it to a non synth person they are like here we go again .. he's talking his music language and will take up all my time lol. good to see someone else on this tip too I guess ! onwards we roll, thanks to tech

[@drfunkystone9175]

You again opened another door to the perception of what we can do with this awsome DAW. Big thank to you for sharing this with us

[@thepedalpress]

A quite excellent and much appreciated tutorial. It's a bit(wig) fast for me for casual tutorial following, but dug the hour-and-a-half-long challenge, already knowing how to press pause and all.... I'm slightly new to Bitwig but not to DAWs, but have to say that I'm creating music more comfortably than I have in a long time (on a computer). The linked preset is very musical. Thanks again. Subscribed.

[@hhoggard]

I just keep making all kinds of sounds and going around modulating anything and everything with my controllers in real time. The ultimate you made here my friend.

[@Emily_M81]

you're a mad lad and I love it lol. I feel like we don't even use the same DAW sometimes LOL

[@ashe_]

Despite this video being quite complicated, it actually was really useful to see this as a beginner to music production. I've learned how sound is made, how the polymer and phase-4 work under the hood, and how to undo the abstraction of the oscillation process and fully control what waves are given to these instruments. It's quite crazy how many different sounds you made JUST with modulation; here's me thinking that I should learn all the knobs and devices first so I know what to modulate, but now I'm thinking that modulations are very powerful. This is almost like a 'sound synthesis from first principles' crash course - you went from very basic 'here's how sound works' to 'now we know how sound works, we can do this'. I love that bitwig follows these laws in its programming and makes it possible to give so much control to its user. I'm so glad I chose it as my DAW

[@gossipboynyc9625-VN]

💯

[@VanGarling]

This is REALLY good, and an added bonus is that there is CRAZY aliasing on higher notes! It sounds beautiful arguably a form of synthesis! It can be controlled somewhat with using a higher sample rate but even at 96Khz there is some there! Beautiful!

[@colognialist1964]

Awesome. Bitwig has really infinite possibilities to create sounds. Thank you.

[@voicedrifter]

I'm not going to lie, I was skeptical of the lengths we were going to achieve results so easily achievable elsewhere, but I'm glad I stuck around for the transition into the wavetable vector example. Absolutely sold, amazing work as always. I am totally inspired.

[@ulrichgamingandmusic]

Thats nuts, thank you for showing us. Im gonna have fun with this one

[@micromando4669]

Me: what synth makes movement? Polarity: yes 😂 Absolutely Incredible! I’m a Reason user, demoing Bitwig and stumbling upon this wizardry. Mindblown! I really like the modulators, all clear without the need of cabling tons of rackextensions

[@kahtnipp]

I'm grateful for you and all of your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us so freely!

[@otisobl]

Mein lieber Scholli - schon unglaublich, was man mit Bitwig machen kann, und das es jemanden wie dich gibt, der durchsteigt. :-) Vor allem aber ist wichtig, dass das Endprodukt gut klingt. Und auch das ist hier der Fall.

[@NakulKrishna]

I think this is one of my favourite videos of yours. Amazing!

[@norvsta]

Great tutorial, epic sounds, and thanks for the wavetable download!

[@peternrdstrm]

You have successfully blown my mind. Amazing video as always! Any more v5 tips coming soon?

[@PolarityMusic]

sure! summerbreak is over :D

[@mølekule-l3d]

"but wait, there's more!" man this is absolutely nuts. bitwig is so powerful. thanks for the science lesson!

[@gossipboynyc9625-VN]

I want (wish) to bring him to NYC Manhattan to teach, and teach the kids. Only a dream.

[@rogerbooth-entity-cruncher]

When this video is playing, you know you're in the "chill" level of reality.

[@BeatMax2023]

Nice Approach! Thanks for sharing!

[@emptyvesselnz]

I enjoyed watching the logic and the process but I'll admit I was thinking "sure, cool but...why?" until the vector wavetable synth appears at the end, really lovely results and a very inspiring set of ideas!

[@T.H.W.O.T.H]

Wow! Just Wow!

[@dtauscher93]

The result was beautiful. A very interesting technique. Much ❤

[@SamHocking]

I just returned to this video again because I realised this is kind of like the Intelligel Shape Shifter module. Would be so cool if someone made it into Bitwig preset. The Inteligel shapeshifter wavetables are out there for download too ; )

[@tomwatson7626]

I'm surprised you haven't broken Bitwig yet 😂 This is awesome, it's like getting Zebra 3 early!

[@gossipboynyc9625-VN]

It is a bit like Zebra, a lot like possibly

[@joesweeney6262]

This is very helpful. i love experimenting with setting up synths in interesting ways so i can manipulate in real time with a midi controller while playing. This approach opens up all sorts of real time manipulation, including mpc. 😂

[@BorisBarroso]

This idea is so cool. Wow really great! I think this is really creative.

[@ChrisMills-AmbientSpace]

This is awesome. Thank you.

[@sqwerty0829]

Your videos never cease to amaze me! This is so cool!!!

[@SolidtraxNL]

That is really sick mate, thanks for sharing! Those 5 new segments introduced by @bitwig with v5 are simply put: so dope!

[@ev6910]

Good stuff!

[@voilabolognessich423]

So you get modular random wavetable FM/phase _and_ additive synthesis for the price of a Polymer and a couple special LFOs connected by a DC offset simulating wavetable? This is next level modulation, and the result is beyond mesmerizing. I'm sold. Just the creativity to think of such a contraption colours me impressed. Even the Bigwig UI looks comparatively clean for facilitating a hack like this.

[@vladartiomav2473]

Things start to go crazy in Bitwig 😄 But one question I have now, is that if I want to create multiple voices per note and detune them, like in a traditional synth. Obviously there is no way to do it for now? Of course we can use a chorus effect to de tune the sound. But it’s not quite the same.

[@gossipboynyc9625-VN]

here are unison multiple voices I believe, he should answer you. The new filter+ also has multi-voice stacking but careful with cpu use obvious(ly)

[@BentTronics]

Awesome stuff, great job!

[@mrcanisters]

Well thought out

[@hiskiaskarden4960]

Thank you for sharing such great ideas! And the DC-Offset Wavetable, so i don't have to make my own :)

[@daiadecadix]

superbe sound at 29.21sec cheers

[@berniehcc]

Absolutely awesome ❤😎👍🏻

[@GeorgeLocke]

I wish polymer had an "external" input like what you find in some hardware semi modular synths.

[@PolarityMusic]

you can attach "audio rate" modulator and feed audio in :)

[@GeorgeLocke]

@@PolarityMusic I'll have to try this. Does it only work with this "DC offset" wavetable? Often I just want to add a second oscillator. I guess I could just be using the grid.

[@konskift]

Set the polymer DC-offset wavetable to 'disable wavetable interpolation' and you can get a 1bit wave! If someone with serum made a wavetable with 8 steps plus zero... you could get a 3bit wave and so on.

[@popcode8389]

Thank you

[@West1Think]

We're frightened of the grid 😄

[@stephanehoreczko]

Deep, and fascinating! Can you share the full patch?

[@PolarityMusic]

in the description!

[@stephanehoreczko]

@@PolarityMusic Oups, thanks!

[@jumpstar9000]

That's great man, a very nice approach. It's a really great way to breadboard all kinds of sound design ideas without going into the grid, and keeps it pretty neat. Definitely going to try it. Have you tried modulating the filter at audio rates?

[@andrewbulhoes6420]

Hey polarity can you plz make a video on how to pitch bend notes in bitwig like the same way it’s done in abelton

[@andrewbulhoes6420]

If you want I can send you a video in what I’m talking about plz and thank you

[@PolarityMusic]

yea no idea what you mean, sorry dont use ableton

[@gabrielegelfofx]

Is it possible to create a sort of Wavestate using samples?

[@PolarityMusic]

yes it is :) maybe i do a video soon!

[@sanjaux]

I am converted from FL after V5 ‼

[@citadelo5ricks]

What would you recommend for a wavetable editor for Bitwig? Vital? Serum? Other?

[@PolarityMusic]

serum is the best but expensive. vital is good, waveedit is also okay (and free) synthtech.com/waveedit/

[@andrew4982]

In the last 2 or 3 years I only heard about Bitwig’s awesome modulation capabilities. But does this program can do something else too ? I got it, is good at modulating, is there something else ?

[@sstrudeau]

This is clever (and a great exercise for understanding Bitwig under the hood) though at this point I think I'd rather just do this in the Grid 😂

[@mulqueen82]

So dope

[@lawinter1949]

Is there a good way to save wave tables into Bitwigs wave table library? I can’t find a button to do that in the new browser.

[@paterfiets]

I experienced the same problem. In the wavetable browser, right click next to the yellow wavetable icon in the top left of the browser, or rightclick somewhere above the cancel and ok buttons in the bottom right. Import wavetables is the first option in the drop down menu...

[@ultrajayme]

Is 5 officially out now? My studio is torn down as I'm moving into a new place this week and haven't opened Bitwig in about a week or two.

@@fernandomanqueo9901 A black hole for musical inspiration would suck it up and destroy it, so the opposite would be an explosion of musical inspiration, which is a positive thing.

@@TheCosmicTeapot I mean blackhole is a rather abstract word to describe something and also im not a native english speaker so that doesnt helps either lol, anyways have a good day

[@skud9999]

Pitch mode. Doesnt that mean you can even use you voice through a mic for modulation? Thats kinda bonkers

[@PolarityMusic]

not directly. pitch mode only accepts midi/notes. but you can use an audio rate modulator and feed it a mic signal :)
