Sep 15, 2025 Bitwig Preset
In this video, I demonstrate how to recreate the functionality of the popular hardware device, the High Court, inside Bitwig, allowing you to play and modify diatonic chord progressions using your keyboard instead of spending hundreds on the physical unit. I showcase how to set up and use my Bitwig preset for easy chord selection and modification, and how to record the results into a MIDI track. You can download my free preset from GitHub, and I'm open to feedback or requests for additional features or Bitwig Studio 5 compatibility.

This video explores the alias clip feature in Bitwig, which allows users to copy and link clips so that changes to one affect all linked versions, but highlights potential issues with accidental changes in complex projects. The presenter appreciates the flexibility of being able to alter container properties like length or start position without changing the clip's contents and sees potential if alias clips could span across different tracks. They suggest improvements such as more inspector controls and cross-track aliasing, but personally prefer working with unique clips rather than relying heavily on the alias feature.

In this guide, I demonstrate how to use Bitwig Studio 6’s global scale and a custom preset to automatically transpose notes to the correct root when switching scales, solving the tedious process of manual transposition. By leveraging the note grid and new modules like root key and pitch class, you can easily adapt your melodies and harmonies across changes in key signatures. This method lets you freely compose in different scales without worrying about root note adjustments, making scale modulation seamless and creative.
