In today's video, I explore how to create cyberpunk, dark techno, and 90s Prodigy-style sounds using basic subtractive synthesis techniques, focusing on raw sounds and heavy distortion. I walk you through setting up a monophonic saw wave, creating a repetitive bass pattern, and adding various effects like LP filtering, diode distortion, and bit reduction to achieve a signature cyberpunk vibe. Lastly, I show how to complement the synths with simple drum patterns and side-chaining for added depth and rhythm, and mention that the project file will be available on my Patreon.

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.

In the video, I address someone named trendcast who commented on my videos, expressing frustration with making music and comparing themselves to others. I encourage them to reach out to me on Discord to discuss their thoughts and feelings. I then demonstrate how to start making music with simple elements in Bitwig, gradually building complexity over time.

In this video, I demonstrate a generative techno patch using a sequencer and various modules. The patch allows for the creation of unique kick drums, melodies, and snare sounds while keeping the hi-hats consistent. I also explain how I used modulation and filtering techniques to add variety and create different sounds for each iteration of the track.
