Great device indeed. If sometimes you're nore sure about the root key, BW can detect it for you by right-clicking on the waveform and then selecting "Detect root key"
Adding Voice Stacks and individually modulating their parameters works very well for achieving dynamic grain clouds. Likewise for getting cool layered effects in the other sample modes.
I also recently discovered the power of bitwig sampler! Also I am glad I decided to swap DAWs mostly because of your influence, I feel like I removed some huge creative blockage FL studio was giving me lol
Dash, you make me Sooo glad I chose bitwig as my daw !! I will try to stay up with you as you BLOW the top off of it and explore other galaxies. You are SUCH a blessing to the music community. keep rockin it! Captain my captain
Hey Dash, I am quite confident with my creativity and style now, will there be any mix tutorial as I have difficult time especially in the low end while there is a lot going on
The only thing missing in the sampler is the multiple type of envelope effects, like you have in the FL Studio Fruity Sampler. Especially enveloped pitch (although maybe you can achieve this with micro pitch in Bitwig per note?) and enveloped filters. Because it's a bit silly that you need Snapheap to easily do this if you think about how much modulation capabilities Bitwig has.
Can you scratch the sample in Sampler? Not a scratch effect but like a Dj doing it.When the sample plays plays, grab the transpose bar (like in granular mode) release it and it plays again?
I really don't like to modulate the offset parameters. Bitwig should bei able to modulate all loop, start, length etc. directly. Also when heavily modulating loop parameters, there should be a "Always start at new loop position" function. Sometimes a newly generated loop while holding a note is located before the running sample position and ends up in silence. Then a new trigger is needed which always is sample start and not loop start. So, how to always start at loop start?
Cool video man. I really need to dig into the bitwig sampler some more. Just a quick videography note having watched quite a few of your videos, it would be worth you adding some lighting for your face. Doesn't have to be anything big or posh but would make a nice difference i think
Right click - slice, choose settings. Pretty sure there's far more settings there than simpler. Also Granular decouples pitch and time, so it is the superior time-stretch ;)
@@DashGlitch Woops, youtube just swallowed my answer, it seems: I didnt expect an answer from you on this topic, haha :D should have been more precise in formulating what i mean. It's all about the workflow/efficiency/simplicity on how to achieve the wanted result. What i mean is best described in the feature request texts on Bitwish. "The existing feature “Slice to multisample” is impractical beyond basic cases. If you don’t get the multisample right, you need to edit each sample separately and adjust boundaries manually. Or go back to the arranger, apply the fixes, and create a multisample again. For these reasons, users need to either spend extra time preparing their samples, or use a sampler outside of Bitwig." Thus the feature request: "Integrate in the Sampler the audio slicing features already available in the arranger, for easier and faster manipulation of audio samples. Manual slicing, equivalent to using the Knife tool Automatic slicing based on onsets, beat markers or time, as in “Slice In Place” Manipulation of slices, just like the manipulation of audio events. Adjust boundaries between slices (drag) Add, delete, and nudge slice points. Consolidate and delete slices. Mapping to controller for easy and precise slicing using MIDI hardware. The slices of the sample would be visible all at once in the single audio file window (shown below, in a stock image without the slices). To manipulate slices, users would double-click the Sampler window and then work on the list editor already available for multisamples (see below), adapted for slicing a single audio file. All this could be achieved integrating in the Sampler features already available in Bitwig. One nice addition would be “Lazy Chop”, slicing a sample manually while playing the audio. This is an option expected in a sampler nowadays." Concerning time stretching: "Bitwig’s sampler can’t time stretch samples instead of speeding them up and slowing them down. This limits the possibility of the sampler when it comes to playing chromatically with samples." It's like with Bitwigs Audio Quantization. Yes, Bitwig has Audio Quantization. But in order to achieve a result like in Ableton, you need at least 7 actions, including several selection-actions, slice on onsets, and last but not least creating micro-fades, when dealing with specific content like e.g. a Shaker-Loop, which otherwise gets harsh transient-sounds, whithout micro-fades on each slice. In Ableton, you press Quantize. Done. Often times it's not 100% about that a Feature is completely missing in Bitwig - but rather, that achieving results is more complicated/slower. Not to say there arent many examples, where it's vice versa, hehe - but just focusing on the things Bitwig could improve now.
I don't know man, something about that Cloud Seed VST that...well, makes it sound odd. Nah, not that, I just think it sounds bad. It could be a bad type of audio sample to use it on, perhaps; so, maybe i can't say, either way, from a single example. Reverb is my favorite effect by far (minus shimmer), and most of my reverbs are pedals. I also use a lot of texture in my work, so i'm not totally unfamiliar with using reverb on textured sounds. However, that Cloud Seed vst is never gonna make it on my hard drive, that much I can say. thanks for the demo, gonna have to try this out.
I got Bitwig 8 track for free with a purchase, upon loading it up it looked like a kids version of Ableton (I know it's made by former Ableton people), it reminded me of Garageband and Logic, so that's as far as I got with it, after watching this video I might give it another go.
considering Ableton has core features that have been broken since day 1, "how it looks" is far less important than "how it works" to me personally. I know most Ableton folks will disagree ;) haha
Bitwig has a far more pleasing on the eye interface than the awful flat look of Ableton. If you judge a book by its cover, you often get to read some awful books. Bitwig is several orders of magnitude greater than Ableton.
A serious problem with 'Sampler' is that it does not save the samples with the preset, that is to say that if for any reason you move the samples from your computer's hard drive, the presets will be unusable. too bad about that!

Eminent explanation and outrageous outro! :)
Thanks for showing these cool techniques in Bitwig!
I also recently discovered the power of bitwig sampler! Also I am glad I decided to swap DAWs mostly because of your influence, I feel like I removed some huge creative blockage FL studio was giving me lol
Yeah. I just recently jumped from FL. I love not having to use workarounds for every single thing I want to do. Bitwig just does it instantly.
You are the best in presentations. Thank you.👍😎
just awesome .. once again a really great Tutorial. Thx Dash for your great work. 🙏🏻
Dash, you make me Sooo glad I chose bitwig as my daw !! I will try to stay up with you as you BLOW the top off of it and explore other galaxies. You are SUCH a blessing to the music community. keep rockin it! Captain my captain
Awesome!
love the ultra creative random round robins
Are you a fan of Vibrasphere, Dash? Man... I'm going to have to check out your music if this is an indication of what you produce!
Yea I am and I do make Psytrance too :) have an album coming very soon
Cool Introduction - very inspiring creative use
Great Dash this is so coool!
I knew that sampler can do a lot but have not used this way and this is awesome.
Nice video mate. Will definitely be using that bass trick absolute gold.
Hey Dash, I am quite confident with my creativity and style now, will there be any mix tutorial as I have difficult time especially in the low end while there is a lot going on
So interesting, I started just yesterday diving into this sampler. It is so wonderful.
I am a Nuendo/cubase user. Bitwig seems awesome. Getting DAW curious . Thanks for the content

you can do it with modulators etc, I just like the kilohearts curve editor for very fine control
Love this! Can't wait to see how you put the new MSEGs to work. Seems like they could replace your workflow in Snapheap pretty well.
This is awesome! The final result you achieved is worthy of Shpongle :)
Wow great... thank you, Dash....
This is D-O-P-E! Amazing. Thanks much.
this is great dash, i was looking for a video that explained this adequately 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks man, got some cool ideas from this.
AWESOME!
I wish I can have this in studio
One. Anyone know a vst that can try to compete with this
Phase Plant has a lot of overlaps but doesn't do the multisample stuff
Sound alchemy. Lovely.
Hi, is that possible to dynamically crossfade with a slow LFO or modwheel between the mutisample stack layers shown at the end of the video?
Yes, you can use the select parameter
As they say, "a patient stone will cook". Thank you very much 😍😍😍
Nice one 🎉

I have 2 pro lights, it's my lens that doesn't do well in doors
@@DashGlitch ah that's a bummer. Lights are much cheaper than lenses!
bitwig is crazy,
Now we just need Bitwig to upgrade the Sampler with proper slicing methods (a la Simpler) and time-stretch. 💫

It's probably a flavours thing, what genre do you make?
🔥
Automations and transitions. You can talk more about that.?

Great sampler but I still miss a nondestructive slicing feature.
Slicing clips is nondestructive already though? It can also multisample so you can trigger individual slices or just modulate the start point...
puro ouro mt foda
