Forever 89 has released VISCO 2.0, a drum sampler and synthesizer that allows users to morph between different sounds and easily play them in key without needing to set a root note. The update introduces new tonal features, enabling users to turn samples into playable synth patches, create pads, and experiment with harmonics and modulation for unique sonic results. The upgrade is free for existing owners and brings enhanced flexibility and creativity, making it even more useful for sound design and music production.

3 Note chord based ambient sci-fi atmosphere with Bitwig. Invokes some Vangelis vibes with thick pads and a pulse lead sound drowned in a grid reverb.

Made another patch over the weekend, just a few modules for kick, bass, sub, hats, arp, and a random melody with a lead sound. Everything’s soaked in reverb and delay, as always! And yep, you can download the patch for free if you want!

Another melodic techno piece performt and created in the Bitwig Grid. I only added some mastering plugins on the output. But all the sounds and music is generated within the Bitwig Grid.

The reviewer tested the affordable Reloop Keypad Pro DAW controller, highlighting its solid build, useful Bitwig integration, velocity-sensitive keys, versatile controls, and convenient features like battery power, a mini USB hub, and scale modes. It worked flawlessly with Bitwig on Windows and offered flexible mapping and performance options, although switching between modes for clip launching and drumming could be more streamlined. Overall, the Keypad Pro is recommended as a fun, budget-friendly controller for Bitwig users, especially in club settings or for mobile music-making.

This is a small patch I made in Bitwig’s Grid with some house/techno/dub vibes. You can tweak a few parameters and perform with it live. I was too lazy to make an arrangement, so it’s probably best to hook up a controller and play around. All the sounds are generated and sequenced in the Grid, and there’s my auto-leveler on the output for compression and mastering.

In this video, I demonstrate a unique technique in Bitwig using pre-emphasis and de-emphasis with tilt EQs to mimic multi-band limiting and achieve more balanced loudness across frequency ranges, without traditional band splitting. By tilting the analyzing signal fed into auto-levelers or limiters, you can shift how loudness is controlled across your mix, changing the tonal balance solely through volume adjustments. This approach allows for more natural and flexible mixdowns and can be applied not just to limiting but also to compression, reverb, and other effects, potentially streamlining your workflow and achieving more transparent results.

In this walkthrough, I demonstrate how to create a complete drum and bass track from scratch in Bitwig Studio, focusing on making original sounds without relying on sample packs. I show how to design bass, kick, snare, hi-hats, and percussion, while explaining techniques for modulation, sound layering, and basic mix strategies for punchy results. The process emphasizes experimentation, customization, and the development of personal taste, illustrating that strong grooves and creative sound design are more important than complex melodies.

In this video, I revisit the Atlas drum sampler plugin after previously favoring XO, exploring its features for organizing and quickly generating drum and bass loops through randomized sample kits and advanced sequencing options. I demonstrate how you can easily map samples from different folders, use the sequencer for creative patterns, and process individual drum elements in Bitwig for powerful sound design and layering. By sharing my workflow and tips, I encourage you to try Atlas for fast experimentation and creative beat-making in your own productions.

Melda's Multi-Analyzer is a powerful and affordable plugin that lets you visually analyze the frequency content of multiple tracks in a single window, working seamlessly with Bitwig Studio. It offers clear visual features like spectrum, sonogram, collision detection, loudness, and stereo field monitoring, along with practical adjustments for smoothness, normalization, and prioritization. Despite previously disliking Melda's interfaces, I found this plugin highly effective and user-friendly, making it an excellent value, especially at its current discounted price.
