In this video, I demonstrated how to make improvements to our small plug data sampler. I showed how to utilize symbols and send/receive objects to simplify the patch, as well as addressed bugs and added a solution to the clicking problem when writing and reading from the same array. Additionally, I explained how to convert the length of the buffer from seconds to milliseconds and sync it with the host's BPM using the playhead object.

In this video, I introduce a new plugin called Current by Minimal Audio which combines various features that musicians love. The plugin includes wavetable oscillators, a granular engine, sub oscillator with harmonics, a sampler, and a range of filters. Additionally, the plugin offers modulation sources, keyboard controls, macro controls, and an impressive effect section.

In this video, I demonstrate my process for creating ambient sounds and tracks using the Synplant synthesizer. I start by exploring different sounds and using the randomize feature to find new ones. I then adjust the envelopes and effects, and also incorporate Supermassive and Paul Stretch for added texture and ambiance.

In this video, I introduce the latest version (0.8) of Plug Data, a tool for creating VST and CLAP plugins from Pure Data patches. I demonstrate how to export a Pure Data patch as a VST plugin using the new feature in version 0.8. Although GUI elements cannot be exported with the plugin, this method offers a straightforward and free way to create native plugins using Pure Data.

In today's video, I show you how to create a music track in Bitwig Studio. I start off by using various modules and sequencers to generate a melodic sequence. Then, I add convolution and delay effects to create depth and ambiance. Finally, I layer in drums and bass, apply sidechain and modulation, and add some additional melodies to complete the track.

In my latest video, I discuss SynPlant 2, a groundbreaking synthesizer with the new GenoPatch feature that uses machine learning to create FM patches from samples. This feature allows users to generate multiple FM patches from a single sample, with options to adjust tuning, volume, and grow out different sound variations. I believe this is a game-changing innovation in the world of synthesizers and hope to see other synths incorporate similar features in the future.

In this video, I demonstrate how to create a quick generative patch using Bitwig. Starting with a simple setup, I gradually make it more complex over time, showing easy steps for everyone to follow. By utilizing modules like the polygrid and counter, you can create unique melodies and rhythms, and further modulate them to add variation and interest to your patches.

In yesterday's video, I showed how to connect TouchDesigner and Bitwig Studio using TD Bitwig, but many viewers were more interested in creating visuals in Bitwig. So in today's video, I demonstrate how to create generative visuals in TouchDesigner and synchronize them with music in Bitwig using TD Bitwig. I explain the steps to create a noise texture, mix layers, map audio envelopes to visuals, and use macros and remotes to modulate parameters for an interactive and visually appealing experience.

In this video, I explore interesting sound ideas by using various techniques. I start with a simple sine oscillator setup and then incorporate feedback and phase modulation to create inharmonic overtones. I demonstrate how tools like pitch mapping, filtering, and sampling can be used creatively to manipulate and design unique sounds.
