In this video, I discuss a new EQ plugin called Scaler EQ, which allows you to select a scale and only choose frequencies that are within that scale. I demonstrate how you can replicate this functionality in Bitwig Studio by using EQ plugins and the pitch quantizer. While the interface cannot be replicated, the technical aspects can be achieved.

In this video, I demonstrate how I prefer to use simple envelopes and LFOs instead of complex shapes for creating kick drums and bass lines in Bitwig Studio 5.1. By combining multiple simple modulators with slight variations in timing settings, I find that it produces a much richer and more satisfying sound. I believe that using this approach allows for more flexibility and experimentation, resulting in interesting and dynamic compositions.

In this video, I explore the new possibilities of creating synthesizers with effects in Bitwig Studio 5.1 using the Filter+ and Sweep devices. I demonstrate how to use the Chappie Chef as an oscillator and the Wavetable LFO for modulation, resulting in a polyphonic synthesizer. Lastly, I introduce the Sweep effect, which allows for interesting sound creation by combining filters and shape bars.

In this video, I discuss the limitations of the sampling mode in Bitwig Studio, particularly the lack of a slicing feature. To overcome this, I demonstrate how I created a custom slicer within the Bitwig Grid, allowing for easy mapping of slices onto the MIDI keyboard. I provide an overview of the patch and explain the functions of the transient detector, slice mapping, and play triggers.

In this video, I explain the concepts of device phase, triggers module, sample and hold, and clock quantizer in Bitwig Studio's grid. I demonstrate how the triggers module produces a binary signal and divides the device phase into equally spaced steps. I also showcase how the sample and hold module holds a signal's value until triggered, and how the clock quantizer synchronizes signals to a grid size, creating interesting rhythmic patterns.

In this video, I introduce an extension called TimeCalc that provides timing information based on the BPM setting of your project. I demonstrate how this extension can be used to accurately set the length of a kick drum and match the BPM with a specific scale. I also highlight the convenience of having this information readily available in Bitwig Studio.

In this video, I demonstrate how to create a stochastic sequencer in Bitwig Studio's grid. By defining probabilities for different notes, rhythms, velocities, and other parameters, we can generate random sequences that can be used with various instruments or VST plugins. Additionally, I show how to record and playback these sequences using the grid's features, providing a comprehensive overview of this stochastic sequencer setup.

In this video, I show you how to create lush sounds using Bitwig Studio. I start by creating a digital piano sound using Phase 4 synthesizer and adding a custom reverb using FX Grid. Then, I demonstrate how to make noise and add crackling effects using noise generators and filters. Finally, I showcase how to create a pitch wobble effect and combine different reverbs and delays to add depth to the sound. Overall, I encourage viewers to explore their creativity in sound design using the grid in Bitwig Studio.

In this video, I demonstrate how I created a drum and bass track using Bitwig Studio 5.1. I utilized the Addictive Drums plugin for the drum sounds, incorporating the link feature to layer sine partials beneath the kick and snare. I also employed various distortion devices and filters to shape the drums and bass sounds, emphasizing the importance of experimenting and finding your own unique sound.

In this video, I show you how to achieve real-time audio pitch shifting in Bitwig Studio using the FX Grid. By utilizing the mod delay and LFO, you can easily control the pitch shift amount and timing. I also demonstrate how to create interesting effects by stacking multiple voices with different pitch shift settings and introducing panning.
