Voice Stacks

In this video, polarity explains how to use voice stacks to create interesting textures, melodies, and atmospheres in Bitwig Studio. The speaker demonstrates how to use a note grid, multiple MIDI channels, a polysynth, chorus, reverb, delay, and a note repeat to create a bass pattern. They also explain how to modulate the voice stack modulator with a random mod, pitch, transpose, and LFO classic to get different frequencies and textures in key.

Sure! In this video, I explored how to utilize voice stacking in Bitwig to create complex modulations and sounds. By extracting values from different voice stacks and cross-modulating them, I demonstrated how to achieve interesting and unique sonic results. Although it may not be the most practical approach, the possibilities for experimentation and creativity are vast.

In this video, I show you how to use the Note Grid in monophonic mode with voice stacking to create interesting polyphonic sounds. I demonstrate how to use a trigger module, pitches module and polysand to create a self-running patch in monophonic mode. I then show how to use the voice stack modulator to distinguish between voices and make alterations to each voice. I also explain how to use the select module or simply the modulation itself to create different settings for each voice. Finally, I demonstrate how to use this technique with my generative presets to create richer sounds.

Polyphony in Bitwig Studio lets you control how many notes or voices a synth can play at once, with options for monophonic and polyphonic modes, each affecting envelope behaviors differently. Voice stacking multiplies each note by several layers or "stacks," allowing you to uniquely shape sound by applying modulators to different stacks for more movement and detail. This powerful system works not just on instruments but also in device grids and effects, making Bitwig's modulation and sound design extremely flexible and creative.

In this video, I showed how to use my voice as an instrument inside Bitwig Studio. I demonstrated how to create a vocal pad sound by using a Voice stack modulator and then showed how to use the Poly-Grid to control synths with my voice. I also showed how to use the Melda Auto Pitch Plug-in to create sounds on the fly and use a Zero Crossings module to get a clean pitch signal. Finally, I demonstrated how to create percussion sounds with my voice by using filters and transient shapers.

In this video, I share a new preset for the Bitwig sampler that I created from samples recorded on my friend Jericho's new MFP Synth Pro. It's an 8-voice polyphonic synthesizer with a vintage sound that I love. The preset is free for my Patreon subscribers, and all you need to do is tweak the remote controls to create different sounds. I also show a new feature in Bitwig Studio 3.2 beta that allows for easier use of the preset. The preset includes pitch mode, voice stacks, filter envelopes, and more. I also recommend checking out Jericho's channel for analog and euro rack content. Overall, I hope you have fun with this preset and leave any questions or feedback in the comments.

In this video, I take you through the process of building a sound in Bitwig Studio. Starting with a grid, I create a pattern using a sine oscillator, shape the volume with an envelope, and quantize the notes to a scale. I also add voice stacking, effects, and layer different elements to create a complete composition.
