Value
Bitwig Platform
A constant generator expressed directly as a percentage of the Grid's numerical signal scale.
What it does
Value emits a steady numerical signal. A setting of 100% represents +1, 50% represents +0.5, and negative percentages represent negative values when the available range permits them.

Value | Defined level set as a percentage, meaning '100 %' outputs a full-scale signal ('+1') |
Practical uses
- Set a fixed modulation amount, phase position, probability, logic-test value, or routing index.
- Drive module inputs while measuring transfer functions and boundary behavior.
- Automate or modulate one reusable control value instead of editing several destination parameters.
Things to know
- Value is numerical and linear: 100% means +1, not 0 dB or a promise about audible loudness.
- Grid signals can exceed the usual -1 to +1 range, but the visible knob and modulation limits may constrain this module differently.
- The automatic
grid/pitch/grid_scale_stepsname match is unrelated and has been rejected. - A visible Stereo-ize option is suggested by installed keywords, but its exact lane behavior needs confirmation.
Technical details
No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.
The documented transfer is the direct percentage conversion out = percent / 100. No dedicated Nitro body has been recovered; a constant may be compiled directly into the enclosing Grid graph. The previously automatic grid/pitch/grid_scale_steps candidate quantizes pitch to scale steps and does not implement this constant generator.
Open questions
- Measure visible and typed ranges, resolution, modulation limits, non-finite input handling, and automation smoothing.
- Verify any Stereo-ize inspector option and whether it negates the right lane or creates another relationship.
- Determine whether a Value is voice-local or shared when its parameter is modulated polyphonically.
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.
