I finished a course covering every Bitwig Audio Effect in depth. Beyond being a kind of video manual, i try to also include lots of creative applications of these effects, ways of recombining them and pushing them beyond their traditional usecases. If you’re interested in getting it, or atleast taking a look at some of the free demo lessons, please go here: www.udemy.com/course/bitwig-audio-fx/?referralCode=594DFF76CA2C4E9D17B2
This is the best breakdown of signal types I’ve found. Made things so much easier to understand. Your videos are amazing, so concise and helpful, thank youuuuu
“All these signal types are kind of fake….there’s only one kind of signal in the grid” Great video, and this is the most important piece of it imo. Once you get comfortable enough to understand that all you’re doing is using math to manipulate real numbers, the world becomes your oyster.
Btw 9:55 true, the manual does (or did) say that the only way to create a feedback loop is to use the Long Delay module. But there's another way: you can create feedback loops with the "modulator out" module. Your output goes to "mod out", mod out goes "remotely" back into input. I often prefer this way, if only because of the smaller footprint. This is one nice way to create self-retriggering envelopes for generative patches, for example. Also 15:18 I don't think you can create an arpeggiator in the grid, unfortunately. at least I don;t think it's possible and would love to be proven wrong. For a functional, basic arp, you need to "see" the entire chord at once, and then be able to "sort" the notes in any order. Neither of the two can be done, If the grid is in monophonic mode, then you only get one note to work with. And in the poly mode, you're still only working with one note at a time, while the grid gets "multiplied" behind the curtains, to handle as many notes as are incoming. These clones of the grid don't talk to each other, as far as I can tell, so you never actually see all the notes of a chord to play an arp out of. But if someone out there has actyally made a working arp, I'd love to see it! (And sequencers of all kinds and sizes are, of course, possible.)
lots of arps have been made, you do it with the note quantize module. it can quantize to incoming chords if you click the little piano button. bitwig have a video about it on their channel. its awkward with the grid tho. and yeah true, mod out can also create feedback loops, didn't think of it here since it's kind of a patchcord focussed video ig. but good to have in mind as an alternate options.
@@TildeSounds Oh, interesting thank you! Real arps that take an incoming chord and play it up, down, etc.? Very cool! I have to find those tutorials, I thought I'd watched them all :-)
@@SongOfItself i think so, it depends what exactly you have in mind because some things will be trickier than others, but yes, playing a chord up or down is definetely possible. here, that's the video i mean: ua-cam.com/video/DUo98r9wpw4/v-deo.html

Grid is amazing and unique feature of the best DAW in the world. This video is really helpful, thank you very much!
Glad it helped!

@@PolliwogParty thanks a lot!

yeah that's the real beauty of the grid, that's where all the truly novel stuff happens
I leaned more here than in the other hundreds of grid vids I've watched combined - fantastic job! Now I feel ready to get into the grid properly :)
thats a big compliment, thanks a lot
best grid video!!!
thank you!!

Great vid, thanks
thank you!
Thank you.
"No one can stop you from doing that." Well, that's what you thought. Stop in the name of the Grid Police.
@@pbrninja19 Abolish the Grid Police!
I'm you 1k sub congratulations
hell yeah, thank you
