Moog Labyrinth in Bitwig

Tutorial | Jul 12, 2024

In this video, I showcase my recreation of the Moog synthesizer called Labyrinth inside of Bitwig Studio. I explain the different sections and features of the synthesizer, including the oscillators, mixing section, wave folder, filters, routing options, VCA, and more. I also mention that I might implement a corrupt feature in the future to randomize the sequences, but for now, the preset can be downloaded for free.

Questions & Answers

Maybe you dont watch the video, here are some important takeaways:

What is the main focus of this video?

The main focus of this video is to provide a quick update on the recreation of the Moog synthesizer called Labyrinth inside of Bitwig Studio. The video showcases the interface and features of the synthesizer, and also provides a link for viewers to download the preset for free.

What are the key features of the Labyrinth synthesizer in Bitwig Studio?

The Labyrinth synthesizer in Bitwig Studio includes two sequences with adjustable bits, two oscillators (main and modulator), a mixing section for blending oscillators and adding noise, a wave folder and filter section, a routing/order section, a VCA for volume control, and a low/high pass filter. The synthesizer also has options for changing pitch, sequence length, bias, and modulation.

What are the potential limitations or missing features of the Labyrinth synthesizer in Bitwig Studio?

According to the video, the only missing feature in the Labyrinth synthesizer is the "corrupt" option, which randomizes the bit flips in the sequences. The video suggests that implementing this feature could require additional modules and may not visually fit well within the existing interface. However, the creator states that they are open to implementing this feature in a future update.

What are the requirements to use the Labyrinth synthesizer in Bitwig Studio?

To use the Labyrinth synthesizer in Bitwig Studio, viewers need to have the beta version 11 of Bitwig Studio. They can download the preset for free from the link provided in the video description. The video also mentions that the synthesizer may need to be dragged into Bitwig Studio or placed in the library folder for use.

[00:00:00] Hey folks, just a quick update on this Friday.
[00:00:03] I recreated the Moog synthesizer called Labyrinth Inside of Bitwig Studio.
[00:00:08] This is how it looks like here.
[00:00:10] You can download the preset completely for free inside of the description below.
[00:00:15] So just click the link.
[00:00:16] You need the new beta version of Bitwig Studio, beta 11.
[00:00:21] Just drag it in or maybe put it in the library folder of Bitwig Studio and then you can just
[00:00:26] use it.
[00:00:27] So this is how it looks like here.
[00:00:29] We have two sequences with some bits.
[00:00:32] We can shift and flip around.
[00:00:33] We have two oscillators.
[00:00:35] That's the main oscillator here.
[00:00:37] That's the modify oscillator or modulator oscillator.
[00:00:42] So we can more or less frequency modulate the first oscillator.
[00:00:46] Then we go here into a mixing section.
[00:00:49] We can mix in the first oscillator.
[00:00:50] We can then use a ring oscillator here, which kind of ring oscillates oscillator one with
[00:00:55] oscillator two.
[00:00:57] Then we can also blend in the modulator oscillator.
[00:01:01] We can bring in here a noise signal.
[00:01:03] Then we mix basically everything together.
[00:01:06] Then we go into wave folder and into a low pass and band pass filter.
[00:01:12] We have here a routing or order section.
[00:01:14] So we can say we only want to have the wave folder and the filter in parallel or we want
[00:01:20] to go from the wave folder into the filter or from the filter into the wave folder.
[00:01:25] So you can switch up between the order.
[00:01:27] So this is parallel.
[00:01:29] The second option is basically wave folder goes into the filter.
[00:01:33] And third option is here.
[00:01:35] The filter goes into the wave folder.
[00:01:38] I need to implement your long delay because you have a feedback kind of feedback thing
[00:01:43] happening when you feed this into this or this into this.
[00:01:48] Yeah, it's how it is.
[00:01:51] Then we go into VCA.
[00:01:52] So it changes the volume basically the voltage controlled envelope here.
[00:01:58] I think it's eG2 exactly.
[00:02:00] And then we blend basically the wave folder and the filter together here.
[00:02:06] So we can change this if you want to.
[00:02:09] It's a blend.
[00:02:10] And then at the end here I used a very low high pass filter just to get rid of some DC
[00:02:15] offset artifacts.
[00:02:18] So yeah, that's basically it.
[00:02:20] We can hit play here or you just hit play here on the sequencer.
[00:02:25] And then you play sequence one and maybe pull this down here and volume a bit.
[00:02:32] So sequence one goes then into VCO one here.
[00:02:37] So we can change the amount.
[00:02:40] We can disable the bits.
[00:02:43] We can enable the bits.
[00:02:44] And every time you enable it, you get a new value, a new pitch value.
[00:02:58] And then you can change the sequence length here.
[00:03:02] Oh, that's the range.
[00:03:05] Sorry, that's the sequence length here.
[00:03:11] That's the full length here.
[00:03:12] If you pull it down to 0%, 100% is just two steps.
[00:03:24] And yeah, then you can play around.
[00:03:25] You can use here then the modulator oscillator and frequency modulator first main oscillator.
[00:03:34] You can change the frequency of the modulator.
[00:03:42] We can bring in here the EG1 amount, which is this envelope here.
[00:03:58] Then we mix in here only the oscillator one.
[00:04:00] You can also bring only the modulator in.
[00:04:15] Bring in a bit of noise.
[00:04:19] Then we have here wave folder.
[00:04:22] You can modify this here with the sequencer one also.
[00:04:33] We can change the bias of the wave folder.
[00:04:42] And then we have here sequencer two.
[00:04:44] We can also enable this.
[00:04:51] The sequencer two changes basically the filter here, I guess.
[00:04:56] EG1 sequencer two amount.
[00:05:00] You can also change the length of this sequencer.
[00:05:15] I've also implemented your leg.
[00:05:17] You can pull this down.
[00:05:19] And then you get some clicks and pops here and there.
[00:05:34] You can shift this bit shift.
[00:05:36] I list here just a phase shift for this.
[00:05:52] [Music]
[00:06:22] Maybe use the delay on that.
[00:06:48] And then you set trigger mix.
[00:06:56] So you can either use sequencer one or sequencer two or both together to trigger these envelopes.
[00:07:26] [Music]
[00:07:41] So yeah, that's basically labyrinth inside of BitX Studio.
[00:07:45] The only thing that's missing is basically the corrupt option of the labyrinth where
[00:07:49] you randomize these bit flips here.
[00:07:53] And it's very hard to implement so it makes sense or it makes visually sense inside of
[00:08:00] this thing.
[00:08:01] You can implement it, but in my opinion it's way better to just put these buttons down here
[00:08:06] and just randomize these sequences here with the bit flips.
[00:08:12] But if you want, I can implement this corrupt feature in the future in a future update,
[00:08:17] but it probably brings in a lot of additional modules here on the left side, right?
[00:08:23] Just to randomize these things here.
[00:08:25] But I can do it.
[00:08:26] So yeah, you can download this in the description below.
[00:08:29] It's completely free.
[00:08:30] As I said, you need bit.11, bit.11, bit.5.2 and then you can use it.
[00:08:38] So that's it for this Friday.
[00:08:40] Just a quick video, just a quick update, a quick patch.
[00:08:46] Have fun with this.
[00:08:47] Leave me a like, leave me a subscription if you want to.
[00:08:51] And yeah, write some comments down below.
[00:08:53] It always helps.
[00:08:54] Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
[00:08:57] Bye.
