The pulley synth features two built-in envelopes, FEG and AEG, but you can add a simple ADSR-Envelope for more modulation options. In pulley mode, each note or voice gets its own ADSR curve, shown as multiple dots, while disabling it applies one overall envelope to all notes. This flexible setup allows you to cross-modulate with LFOs and add multiple ADSRs to customize your sound design.
The 4-Stage modulator in Bitwig Studio is a flexible ADSR envelope with four customizable phases, allowing you to modulate parameters like cutoff with precise control over timing, strength, and curve shape. It can be switched between polyphonic and monophonic modes, so each note can have its own envelope or share a single one, and includes features like bipolar mode, looping, and modulation amount adjustment. This makes it especially powerful for creative sound design, letting you combine it with other modulators like LFOs for complex modulation routings.
