In this video, I showed how to build a self-running grid patch in Bitwig Studio. I started by selecting the grid and setting it to monophonic mode. I then connected a trigger to a phaser and an XP filter, and then used a face in to create notes. I added a sample and hold, a dice module, and a reverb to the patch. I also added a pitch signal to switch between an octave higher or lower. Finally, I used a global shuffle to change the pattern.
Sometimes you create a generative, self-running Grid patch and want it to stop or play at specific times. Here are some solutions to stop the grid from playing or stop the audio output with gate informations from the piano roll or the transport module.
Self-running patches are setups in the Bitwig Grid that generate sound without external input and one voice. In this lesson, we will explore how to create self-running patches using various modules and techniques.
