The Pitch-12 modulator is a node-driven tool that lets you assign unique modulation parameters to every key in an octave, triggered either by MIDI input or node clips. Each key acts as an on-off modulator, and you can fine-tune behaviors using adjustable lag for smoothed transitions and a global modulation amount for overall control. This allows for diverse, customizable textures and sound variations linked directly to your melodies or chord progressions.
In this video, I share some tips and tricks for using the diatonic transposer in Bitwig Studio to create jazzy chord progressions. I show how to use a multi note device in combination with a key filter and transposer to create a chord brush. I also demonstrate how to use a pitch 12 to modulate multi notes between major and minor chords. Lastly, I show how to create chord gradients by stacking notes in seven semitone steps.
