Ø Triangle

Bitwig Platform

Ø Triangle module panel in Bitwig Grid
Ø Triangle in Bitwig Grid 6.0.6.

Converts normalized phase into one cycle of a bipolar triangle waveform.

What it does

Ø Triangle reads the incoming phase and returns a linearly rising and falling bipolar shape. The upstream phase determines whether that shape behaves as audio, modulation, or a manually addressed lookup.

Controls and ports

The wrapper has one phase input and one bipolar waveform output, with no independent rate control.

Practical uses

  • Drive it at audio rate for a triangle oscillator with less high-frequency energy than a saw or pulse.
  • Use slow phase for a symmetric rise-and-fall modulation cycle.
  • Distort the phase before the module to create asymmetric linear waveforms.

Things to know

  • The waveform contains slope corners but no value jump at the normal cycle wrap.
  • Its pitch, reset, and synchronization all come from the phase source.
  • The recovered implementation applies a quarter-cycle offset before calling the shared triangle helper.
  • The exact phase orientation is therefore best confirmed with a few static lookup measurements.

Technical details

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

The confirmed body is out = triangle(x + 0.25). This is the standard piecewise-linear bipolar triangle helper with a quarter-cycle phase rotation chosen for the Grid module's expected orientation. Bit-exact endpoint and out-of-range behavior depend on the shared helper.

Open questions

  • Measure values at phase 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 and recover the helper's exact wrap behavior.

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.
