Ø Split

Creates up to eight evenly rotated copies of one phase signal.

What it does #

Ø Split sends the original phase to its first output and distributes additional outputs evenly around the cycle. Direction chooses whether each successive output is shifted forward or backward.

Controls and ports #

Control	Label	Official description
phase_in	Phase In	Signal in to be offset across the successive out ports. For example, '2' Out Ports will send a signal shifted by 50 % (180 º) to the second out port. And if Shift Direction is set to Plus, '5' Out Ports would send a signal shifted by 20 % (72 º) to the second out port, by 40 % (144 º) to the third out port, and so on. (With Shift Direction set to Minus, the same shifts would go negative.)
out1	Out1	Phase signal out 1, same as the original input
out2and	Out2And	Phase signal out 2, etc.
direction	Direction	Offset direction for successive out ports:

Practical uses #

• Drive several oscillators or modulators at the same rate with evenly spaced start phases.
• Create quadrature signals with four outputs or three-phase modulation with three outputs.
• Build circular panning, rotating envelopes, or evenly distributed rhythmic events.

Things to know #

• The first output is the original input phase.
• With N outputs, adjacent outputs differ by exactly one Nth of a cycle according to the installed control description.
• Plus and Minus reverse the order of the offsets without changing their spacing.
• Changing the output count changes every offset except the unshifted first output.

Technical details #

No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.

For output index k from 0 to N-1, the documented contract is out[k] = wrap(input ± k/N), where Direction chooses the sign. Thus two outputs differ by 0.5, four by 0.25, and eight by 0.125 phase units. The current automatic Nitro candidate is an unrelated mix splitter and is not used as evidence.

Open questions #

• Confirm dynamic output-count changes, exact Direction labels, boundary sample behavior, and whether output sockets are added only through the Inspector.

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.
