Ø Wrap
Bitwig Platform
Folds any finite signal into one normalized phase cycle from 0 up to, but not including, 1.
What it does
Ø Wrap keeps only the position within a unit interval. Values above 1 start another cycle, and negative values wrap backward into the same 0-to-1 phase domain.
Controls and ports
The wrapper has one general signal input and one phase output. It has no amount or mode control; wrapping is fixed to a one-unit phase interval.
Practical uses
- Convert an unbounded ramp or scaled control signal into a valid repeating phase.
- Keep phase modulation inside the range expected by oscillators and lookup modules.
- Extract the fractional portion of positive or negative values.
Things to know
- Wrap is periodic rather than limiting: 1.2 becomes 0.2 instead of 1.
- Negative values wrap from the upper end of the cycle; for example, -0.2 maps to 0.8.
- Exact integer values map to phase zero.
- A wrap discontinuity is intentional and can create bright harmonics at audio rate.
Technical details
No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.
The standard phase-wrap contract is out = x - floor(x), producing the fractional part in [0, 1) for finite x. This primitive appears throughout recovered Nitro modules, although the visible Ø Wrap wrapper has no dedicated atlas match.
Open questions
- Confirm signed-zero, infinity, NaN, and sample-by-sample recovery behavior in the visible wrapper.
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.
