In this video, I explore the new oscillator called Byte in Bitwig Studio 5.1. It offers various modulation possibilities such as exponential FM, hard sync, pulse width modulation, and ring modulation from dual oscillator feedback. By playing around with the different settings and modulation options, you can create gritty and versatile bass sounds, making it perfect for genres like drum and bass or dubstep.

In this video, I explore the voice spread feature in Bitwig Studio 5.1 and demonstrate how it can be used to create an additive synthesizer using the Grid and other devices. By adjusting parameters such as voice stacking, pitch offset, and volume, I show how to spread frequencies and manipulate partials to create unique sounds. The possibilities for sound design and modulation with voice stacking in Bitwig Studio are endless.

In this video, I demonstrate how to synchronize Bitwig Studio with a video file using Touch Designer. Although Bitwig Studio doesn't have a built-in video track, Touch Designer provides a solution by communicating over OSC. By connecting the transport position seconds parameter in Bitwig Studio with the video file in Touch Designer, you can achieve seamless synchronization between the two.

In this video, I share a useful trick in Bitwig Studio for creating evolving sounds. I remind myself to use the XY Instrument container which allows me to load multiple instruments and fade between them. This technique can be applied to various types of sounds and offers a lot of flexibility in terms of modulating and manipulating the fades.

In this video, I discuss my thoughts on the granular engine in the synth and how I miss having a record button. I demonstrate how I use my vocals recorded in a DAW to create a pad sound, adjusting the pitch and experimenting with various settings. I also showcase the use of wave tables, a morphing filter, LFOs, and effects like reverb and delay to create a textured and evolving sound.

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 today's video, I explain the Formant module in Bitwig Studio. The module amplifies the incoming signal around 0.5, allowing for modifications to waveforms. It can be used to create wobble bass sounds, shape waveforms, and add vocal qualities to signals.

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.
Oct 06, 2023 Tutorial
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.
