Using Modulator Outputs to Create Probabilistic Behaviors in the Grid #
Aug 04, 2022 Tutorial
In this video, I talked about how you can use random modulator outputs to create probabilistic behavior in the grid. I explained how you can misuse the DICE module and the trigger module to create a "chance module" and why it works. I gave an example of how you can use the knowledge of the trigger module's requirement of the value of 0.5 to enable a feature with the modulator. I also showed how you can use the modulator to change the frequency and decay setting of a noise and filter, and to enable and disable other features. Finally, I highlighted the beauty of the grid in that you can always learn something new.

Creating an Algorithmic Composition with Bitwig Studio #
Aug 01, 2022 Tutorial
I show how to create a self-running patch in Bitwig Studio that produces predictable melodies. I start by setting up an oscillator and an envelope, and then use a gate module to trigger the envelope. I then use a sample and hold module to persist the pitch, and then use a pitch quantizer to make sure the notes are in a certain scale. I then introduce an LFO and use a phase input to modulate it so that the output is different each time. I then create a melodic pattern with a steps module, and introduce audio effects like a delay and a reverb for additional texture. Finally, I use a dice module to add variations in the decay of each note.
3 FREE Plug-Ins I Use For Music Production #
Jul 29, 2022 Tutorial
In this video, I show how I use three free plug-ins to achieve my desired loudness target for my production. The first one is DbMeter5, which I use on my master bus to match the loudness peak. The second is Glitch, which I use on my drum bus to add texture and glitchy percussion. The last one is Piano Tech 7, which I use to generate drones by stretching the buffer and making adjustments.
Exploring Morph EQ by Minimal Audio for Creative Sound Design #
Jul 27, 2022 Tutorial
I just installed the Morph EQ by Minimal Audio and wanted to share my first impressions of it. It is an EQ that allows you to draw in the desired EQ curves, giving you a lot of sound design possibilities. You can assign an LFO to it or use automation to modulate the curves. It also has a randomize option which can create some great results. It's a great plugin for sound design and I would definitely recommend it.
Pads, Melodies & Drums #
Jul 26, 2022 Release
This dark and rainy cityscape is the perfect backdrop for a future that is both melancholic and depressing. The city skylines are filled with ambient drones and noises, making it the perfect soundtrack for a rainy day. The city is hot and filled with bad air, but there is still hope.
Synthesize Low-End with Tree Monster in Bitwig #
Jul 25, 2022 Tutorial
In this video, I demonstrated how to use the Tree Monster to add low-end to snare sounds and other audio signals. I showed how to use the Tree Monster to analyze the audio signal for resonant frequencies and then synthesize a sine wave to it. I also showed how to adjust the settings, such as the frequency range, speed, threshold, and mix knob, to get the desired sound. I also suggested using a Transient Shaper for extra sound design and bouncing the sound for stability. Finally, I showed how to use the Tree Monster to analyze vocals and other tonal sounds.

No songs and no drones. Something in between. Music for the background and for that certain feeling. Somewhere between sci fi and an infinite cycle.
Quantizing Modulation Signals in Bitwig Studio #
Jul 19, 2022 Tutorial
In this video, I showed how you can use Bitwig Studio to quantize modulation signals. Using a Test Tone device, I demonstrated how to use a quantizer to equally space steps to rebuild the MIDI keyboard. I also showed how to use the PASIC 8 modulator to step through notes and create a random melody generator. Finally, I showed how to use the quantizer and PASIC 8 modulator with filter devices, poly synths and VSTs, as well as the potential issues with VSTs.
