Phase In

Bitwig Platform

Phase In module panel in Bitwig Grid
Phase In in Bitwig Grid 6.0.6.

The normalized phase ramp configured in the Grid device's Ø Device Phase inspector section.

What it does

Phase In exposes the device-wide phase source as a cable so several sequencers, oscillators, and phase processors can share one synchronized position. Its rate, transport relationship, and related options are configured on the Grid device rather than on this module.

"Ø Device Phase" section.

Practical uses

  • Drive several Data modules from one explicitly patched device phase.
  • Process the device phase through Reverse, Shift, Scaler, or Wrap before addressing a sequence.

Things to know

  • The normal phase interval is 0 inclusive to 1 exclusive and wraps once per cycle.
  • Many modules have a phase pre-cord that already adds this device phase; disable that pre-cord before also patching Phase In when exclusive manual control is required.
  • Transport, free-run, and note-retrigger behavior depend on the device inspector settings.

Technical details

A medium-confidence Nitro implementation candidate supports the technical summary, but the visible-module mapping remains inferred.

The visible output is the host's configured normalized device phase. The related grid/phase/grid_phase_in component proves the pre-cord rule out = fract(patched_phase + device_phase) when Use Device Phase is enabled, or fract(patched_phase) otherwise. That component has an extra patched-phase input and is therefore supporting evidence rather than a complete one-to-one body for this output-only module.

Open questions

  • Record every Ø Device Phase mode and verify start value, wrap sample, stopped-transport behavior, shuffle, note retrigger, stereo lanes, and voice scope.

Version and sources

Checked against Bitwig Studio 6.0.6. This page combines Bitwig's module metadata, the existing Grid course and guides, and Nitro analysis where the mapping is strong enough to support a technical statement.
