bitwig's modulation system was my main reason for switching from cubase to bitwig after having used cubase for most of my entire life :)

Very inspirational tutorial that I needed! Thank you very much! Keep up the great work! Bitwig is really on another level comparing to the more plain DAW’s, it is much more a very deep and flexible sonic playground! I love the endless possibilities it offers.

@Digitt6 Жыл бұрын
I saw you post this vid on a fb group the other day and went to look for it on KZbin now specifically. I really am considering using this type of thinking. Currently I'm finding the grid to be way too cpu intensive. The minute I add a second oscillator, it eats up so much cpu. I want to be able to have 3-4 oscillators each with a diff filter. Many 3rd party synths don't do that, and so I could just use serum and then group it and do multiple instances in parallel. But I keep feeling I'm not utilising bitwigs modulation power. It's such a shame the grid is a cpu hog. But another thing, personally I don't like using the built in fx in synths like serum, not that they're bad it's just a personal preference, I like using my own 3rd party reverbs etc. Even eq is such a big factor in sound design and I wanna carve my sound using Pro q3 rather than a little eq module inside serum or vital or sylenth. So I've decided to try experiment with the approach you have in this video. Unfortunately polymer also hogs cpu when I run it in parallel, but I forgot about polysynth which might be fine for my needs. I love the idea of building a device chain that is my synth, with the freedom of using any 3rd party fx and even synths (jp6k or dune or viper have such great sounding warmth but their interfaces feel limited to me), and just having bitwigs modulators to be creative and make lots of little quick articulations to breathe life into my sound. Its still a shame cos I love the grids interface. But the cpu is the issue. But thinking in the way you are, it made me realize how it's even more freedom to use the building block approach with devices because I get to use any 3rd party plugins anywhere. BTW I highly recommend a plugin by zeek called stfu. Its free and it is kinda like cable guys midishaper in that you can use it as an mseg for bitwig. You just assign it to an audio rate modulator in bitwig and then you have an mseg that can modulate anything! Bitwig needs it's own mseg modulator though. But until then this is great!

Thanks for commenting! I totally get you, and I think that was one of the reason I made this video, to show how the modular, building block approach is not Grid exclusive. I love how easy is to build synths here and polysynth is my favorite lol. Gonna try that plugin! thanks

Its always interesting to see how different DAWs tackle similar processes. I think if i was being forced to switch from FL i would do bitwig or reaper.

On FL you got the patcher, another amazing environment, and I love the fact you can also build your own UI.

I work in game audio (28 years so far) and do really specific audio only editing, using regions, region rendering with the name from the region, multichannel grouping and audio slipping, scripts for naming regions, spacing and arranging assets by size etc. It's invaluable for a certain work, workflow... but as for making music, being creative, that's all Bitwig, I love it.

Bitwig mod system is comprehensive but it also screams for long overdue workflow improvement. What buggers the most is inability to adjust actual parameter while mod assign arrow enabled. To fine tune modulation I have to move mouse all the way back to mod assign, click, move mouse back to parameter, adjust, move back to mod assign, click… I can go for days here. I emailed developers and said why not to make this possible via shift for example. Press shift and adjust actual parameter… etc. Unfortunately developers said that user request are not their priority. I don’t even use Bitwig native instruments except sampler just because of this workflow unfriendliness. I can get much further in a synth with less comprehensive bit more user friendly mod system. Audios!

I completely understand, but got used to it. Pigments has a nice way to be able to add modulation and change parameter at the same time. Also I tend to click on an empty part of the screen to stop the mapping, but that doesnt work either. Still, as I said, got used to it
