Reverbs - Building from Scratch in Bitwig

Jul 24, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrate a unique reverb technique using an FX grid instead of a traditional reverb effect. By utilizing voice stacking, modulation, and various parameters, I create a custom reverb sound with subtle variations on each stack. This technique allows for endless experimentation and creativity in crafting unique and dynamic reverbs.

Creating Pitch Maze a Generative Grid Patch for Bitwig

Jul 22, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I create a generative patch using a Poly-Grid instrument track in monophonic mode. I experiment with feedback for pitch generation and incorporate audio pitch modulation. I add various effects like delay, chorus, filter, and reverb to shape the sound, and create a complex and evolving composition.

Pitch Maze Ambient

Jul 22, 2024 Music-Video
Yo folks, my last video before I take off into space. All is based on my last tutorial on my other channel https://youtu.be/oOLjeiVg46o , with some additional piano sounds and mastering. I'm also tweaking the patch slightly over time. Let's chill.

808 Hi-Hat Synthesis in Bitwig with Subtractive Synths

Jul 19, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I show you how to easily synthesize hi-hats using a normal subjective synthesizer like Polymer in Bitwig. By adjusting settings like detuning, unison, and adding noise, you can create a metallic sound with different velocity and filter expressions. To avoid CPU spikes, it is recommended to sample the hi-hats and use them in your project.

D-OTT 3 Band Grid Compressor - Expander

Jul 17, 2024 Tutorial
I just watched a video where Dave Lindenbank created a compressor inside of the grid, and I took his patch and created my own preset called DOTT (Dave OTT) - a three-band compressor expander. It's completely free to download and it includes band splitters, compressors, expanders, threshold and gain controls, VU meters, and EQ and saturation options. It's a powerful tool for squeezing the signal and I hope you enjoy experimenting with it.

Sci Fi Sounds with Audio Feedback, Hans Zimmer would love it

Jul 15, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrate a cool trick in Bitwig Studio using the Polymer synthesizer. By attaching an audio rate modulator and feeding it back into the front of the synthesizer, I can create interesting modulation effects and generate unique sounds. This feedback loop allows for subtle or prominent modulation effects, giving a wide range of possibilities for creative experimentation.

Moog Labyrinth in Bitwig

Jul 12, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I showcase my recreation of the Moog synthesizer called Labyrinth inside of Bitwig Studio. I explain the different sections and features of the synthesizer, including the oscillators, mixing section, wave folder, filters, routing options, VCA, and more. I also mention that I might implement a corrupt feature in the future to randomize the sequences, but for now, the preset can be downloaded for free.

Midrange Bass Sounds in Bitwig

Jul 09, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrate how to use the cycles mode in Bitwig's sampler to create bass sounds from random noise samples. By manipulating the harmonics and overtones, I show how to create rich and unique bass tones. I also explore different techniques such as using the sampler or the grid, applying effects like distortion and filtering, and experimenting with modulation to create diverse bass sounds.

No Fake Shit - Ambient Improv

Jul 09, 2024 Music-Video
Yo folks. In this video, I start from zero and create an ambient piece on the fly. No prepared loops, no prepared samples. Just some perc sounds from the Digitakt, but that's it.

Create Sounds from Noise

Jul 08, 2024 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrate how to generate tonal sounds from random noise using the Cycles mode in my sampler. By manipulating the grain size and key tracking, I can create different pitches and waveforms. This technique allows for easy and flexible sound design, making it perfect for creating ambient pads and other tonal sounds.
