Exploring Voice Stacks in Bitwig Studio III - Creating Unique Musical Textures

Aug 15, 2022 Tutorial
In this video, polarity explains how to use voice stacks to create interesting textures, melodies, and atmospheres in Bitwig Studio. The speaker demonstrates how to use a note grid, multiple MIDI channels, a polysynth, chorus, reverb, delay, and a note repeat to create a bass pattern. They also explain how to modulate the voice stack modulator with a random mod, pitch, transpose, and LFO classic to get different frequencies and textures in key.

Voice Deck Modulation to Create Rich Soundscapes

Aug 12, 2022 Tutorial
In this video, I showed how to use voice decks on monophonic grids and create different settings for each voice deck. This can be used to create chords, delays, chorus and reverb effects. I also showed how to use multiple random modulators and panning settings to create a lush sounding effect. Finally, I demonstrated how to use a channel filter to create a bass line, as well as how to use a step modulator to create a longer and more interesting melody.

Creating a Step Sequencer with Bitwig Studio: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Aug 11, 2022 Tutorial
In this video, I discussed my approach to learning the Note Grid in Bitwig Studio. I explained that it is best to take a handful of small modules you know and then build from that every day, adding a new module and learning what you can do with it. I showed how to build a step sequencer with the grid, and gave tips for how to avoid micro-tuning issues, such as using a bias instead of a transpose, and using a range map to switch between different mappings.

Using Voice Stacking with Monophonic Node Grids in Bitwig Studio

Aug 09, 2022 Tutorial
In this video, I show you how to use the Note Grid in monophonic mode with voice stacking to create interesting polyphonic sounds. I demonstrate how to use a trigger module, pitches module and polysand to create a self-running patch in monophonic mode. I then show how to use the voice stack modulator to distinguish between voices and make alterations to each voice. I also explain how to use the select module or simply the modulation itself to create different settings for each voice. Finally, I demonstrate how to use this technique with my generative presets to create richer sounds.

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.
