In this video, I demonstrate the sounds of my PFAM, a replica of the Moog DFAM, inside Bitwig Studio. I explain the layout and modifications I made to the original device, showcasing its percussive capabilities and versatility as a techno sequence generator. The preset is available for free download and I welcome feedback and suggestions for future devices.

In this video, I recreated the Subharmonicon synthesizer in Bitwig Studio. The layout consists of two main oscillators with sub ratio knobs for dividing the frequency. There is also a mixing section, routing panel, and pulley rhythms for creating unique sequences.

In the video, I explain how to use a Phase cancellation technique to create a delta signal in Bitwig Studio. By using a chain device with an EQ Plus and tool device, I'm able to cancel out certain frequencies and create a bandpass filter effect. Additionally, I demonstrate how to use Phase flipping and subtracting techniques to manipulate panning in the stereo field.

Finally managed to drop a new Drum & Bass Mix. It's got lots of minimal wobbles, a few liquid vocal tunes, some deep stuff, and minimal neurofunk. I'm really enjoying it right now – as long as it grooves, it's all good. Here's the full tracklist with timestamps!

In this video, I demonstrate a unique reverb technique using an FX grid instead of a traditional reverb effect. By utilizing voice stacking, modulation, and various parameters, I create a custom reverb sound with subtle variations on each stack. This technique allows for endless experimentation and creativity in crafting unique and dynamic reverbs.

In this video, I create a generative patch using a Poly-Grid instrument track in monophonic mode. I experiment with feedback for pitch generation and incorporate audio pitch modulation. I add various effects like delay, chorus, filter, and reverb to shape the sound, and create a complex and evolving composition.

Yo folks, my last video before I take off into space. All is based on my last tutorial on my other channel https://youtu.be/oOLjeiVg46o , with some additional piano sounds and mastering. I'm also tweaking the patch slightly over time. Let's chill.

In this video, I show you how to easily synthesize hi-hats using a normal subjective synthesizer like Polymer in Bitwig. By adjusting settings like detuning, unison, and adding noise, you can create a metallic sound with different velocity and filter expressions. To avoid CPU spikes, it is recommended to sample the hi-hats and use them in your project.

I just watched a video where Dave Lindenbank created a compressor inside of the grid, and I took his patch and created my own preset called DOTT (Dave OTT) - a three-band compressor expander. It's completely free to download and it includes band splitters, compressors, expanders, threshold and gain controls, VU meters, and EQ and saturation options. It's a powerful tool for squeezing the signal and I hope you enjoy experimenting with it.
