Over the weekend, I explored an idea where I used a frequency shifter on an A minor sample to create disharmonic or horror sounds by altering frequency relationships. To maintain clarity and avoid artifacts, I emulated the frequency shifting effect using a note grid to shift pitches down manually, allowing for the creation of new harmonic relationships and microtonic scales. This approach is particularly useful for generating unique sounds for horror soundtracks or techno music, and I've shared the patch in the description for those interested in trying it out.

In today's video, I demonstrated how to create interesting harmonic ideas using Bitwig's note grid by setting up chords with a pedal tone and fifths, making it simple to form complex chords and EDM sounds. I also added elements like an arpeggiator, reverb, and delay to enhance the sound, and showed how to manage different channels for more intricate compositions. This technique allows for quick and easy creation of harmonies without the need for complex chord progressions.

This is an oscillator processed by a waveshaper. You can see the result in an spectrum analyzer to check which overtones or harmonics are generated. Cool for learning how waveshaping works and what it does to the spectrum.

Here you can select notes on your piano keyboard, and it'll show you the corresponding scales. So if you have a melody or a chord progression, you can use this to find out which scales include those notes.
