In this video, I demonstrate a custom-built FFT resynthesizer and note extractor inside Bitwig Studio, which uses pure sine oscillators to extract and recreate audio frequencies without traditional bandpass filters. The system allows for unique spectral manipulation, including stretching sounds, octave shifting, and removing partials outside a selected musical scale, making it perfect for ambient effects and creative sound design. I also show how this setup can extract MIDI notes from audio and explain the straightforward method behind building it, with presets available for free download.

In this video, I explore the dome filter in Bitwig Studio 5.3, showcasing its unique capabilities like phase shifts and re-synthesizing signals using phase and magnitude outputs. I demonstrate how to create pitch wobble, frequency shifters, and even attempt some FFT re-synthesis inside the grid, which wasn't previously possible in Bitwig. Overall, I see the dome filter as a fascinating addition for crafting creative sound effects and experimenting with new audio techniques.

In this video, I explore ways to recreate kick drums using only native devices in Bitwig Studio by separating and synthesizing the low-end sine wave from a noisy kick sample. I demonstrate using filters, the Harmonic Split device, and the FX Grid to analyze pitch and volume, ultimately re-synthesizing the low end while discussing the challenges of persisting data within Bitwig. Despite some limitations, such as the inability to save pitch envelope data, I show that this method can effectively replicate kick drum sounds.
