important for future presets here on patreon. Its maybe not nice to be always bleeding edge for everyone.

Why the note wrap preset works and how i built it. In this video. Hope it´s not too boring and nerdy. But someone asked :)

Channel-16 Modulator (4.2b3)

Im using this thing from time to time. It´s probably the only cloud sample service i use on a regular basis. It offers always a nice start to a track or some vocal bits for when i need something special quickly. Not sponsored video, i actually use this lol

some DFAM Kick Drums and I found some Phase-4 basses for Dubstep in some directories.

FX Sequencing

Hey, this is my new obsession in Bitwig. Coming up with effect racks, doing boring things for me. Could be a nice idea for new patreon presets :)

Mixing: Frequency & Tonal Balance

frequency or tonal balance is the number one reason why your track sounds weak. Get this right and make your life easier.

The Note Grid is fun

send me your music made with my tools

From time to time I get music pieces or videos sent to me that are based on my templates, projects or presets. The whole thing is very interesting for me and I'm always happy when people get creative with my tools. Please don't be afraid to send me the stuff (dms are open)!

Maybe I would even set up a page that promotes these projects and at the same time shows what you can do with my tools. Would you like that? Send me your stuff and what you have used. Videos would be the neatest of c...

Generative but without the Grid

Marcel asked me in my discord if its possible to create generative music outside the grid. Here is my approach. Maybe nice to spit out some random notes on the fly!

POLISPHERE 1.3 - Sound Package

I observe that many producers, including myself, often like to use sound presets that perform simple tasks. By layering several simple sounds, you can create complex sound structures. Many people fall back on Omnisphere, because a massive number of high-quality sounds are collected here. 

Polisphere is now my small attempt to combine as many useful sounds as possible in one package instead of building and publishing individual presets every month.
