Convolution, Rolling Sampler and System Audio Bridge

In this video, I share some tips and tricks for sound design in Bitwig  Studio. I start by showing how to use the System Audio Bridge and  Rolling Sampler tools to record audio from the browser into Bitwig.  Then, I demonstrate how to use a sample to shape a sign oscillator in  order to create a richer kick drum sound. Next, I show how to use a  convolution device to add tonality to a hi-hat and how to apply this  technique to synth sounds as well. Finally, I dem...

Gold Hangout?

I will start to hangout in my polarity discord in the "gold meeting" voice channel over the week, starting next week. Probably tuesdays / thursdays over the course of the day. If you have a gold status, you can join any time, ask question and I'm probably also streaming my DAW. I have no idea if people are down for it, how stressful this will be or how many are participating. But i will give i...

Using Global Modulators in Bitwig for Interchannel Communication

In this video, I explore using global modulators in Bitwig to send  signals from one channel to another. I start by showing how it's not  easy to route signals from the Polygrid device to a different channel.  Then, I suggest using a DC offset in the FX box and muting the channel  to generate audio signals that can be grabbed with an audio rate  modulator to easily modulate something on a different channel. I explain  how this workaround can be used on multiple c...

Catwalk - the story of Soren and Lyra

In the neon-lit heart of New Angeles, amid an amalgam of futuristic technology and corporate machinations, the biotech firm GenDyna unveiled their newest line of synthetic augmentations.

The setting was a juxtaposition of raw industrial grime and artificial opulence, mirroring the essence of this gritty cyberpunk future. The runway: a digital stream of ever-shifting holograms and laser grids, running through the center of a colossal warehouse.

At the helm were Soren and Lyra, part...

Push 2 Logic

pushed some waveforms into enso.

In the year 2135, the city of Neo-Tokyo was a neon-lit labyrinth, a cybernetic sprawl of towering skyscrapers, holographic billboards, and rain-drenched alleyways. Amidst the chaos of this dystopian metropolis, a small figure moved with purpose. It was a cat, but not just any cat. This was Pixel, a cybernetic feline with glowing green eyes and a sleek, metallic body that shimmered under the neon lights.

Pixel was on a mission. Foo...

New ambient piece: Mixed generative, improv and additional layers

On a stormy evening, as rain poured relentlessly from the charcoal sky, Ava found herself standing on the outskirts of the city, a hidden meadow untouched by the mechanical tendrils of progress. The tall grasses danced and swayed to the rhythm of the wind, and the scent of petrichor filled the air, mingling with the metallic tang of the city's distant hum.

With her umbrella held high, Ava strolled ...

Transfer (shaper) - Bitwig Grid Module Guide

In audio, a transfer function on a waveshaper refers to the mathematical  relationship between the input and output signals of the waveshaper. A  waveshaper is a type of audio effect that modifies the shape of a  waveform, typically by applying nonlinear distortion to it.  

The transfer function of a waveshaper describes how the input waveform  is transformed into the output waveform by the effect. It can be  visualized as a graph that plots the input signa...
