Modular Concepts: Signal Function & Flow

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
  • Modular synths allow us to be free, but often our own thinking can trap us. How many ways can signals function? What are the generic types of modules? An organized way to think about signal function & flow is the difference between luck and intention. Dave Linnenbank from Bitwig invites you to think about how to think, and make sounds… with purpose! 🤯🏃‍➡️
    Contents:
    0:00 We need a schema 🧠
    3:58 Only 3 signal functions exist - Audio, Control, Timing (ACT)
    6:39 Let’s examine signal types within Bitwig & The Grid
    17:36 Logic inputs are generally Timing, whether for triggers or hard sync
    22:51 Phase inputs are also Timing, whether for sequencer timing or synthesis
    25:46 With all devices, parameter modulation allows for Control & Timing
    29:03 All modules are Generators, Processors, and/or Terminals
    30:16 Processors always have "Signal" inputs for further processing (and eventual ACT connections)
    36:26 A twist: Thinking freely, the DC of our keyboard gate is a legitimate audio signal 🔨

      Absolutely. There's a magic to the grid that even 3rd part modular soft synths just don't have. There's this sound that can't be replicated at all other than in the grid

    Thank you for such a good explanation.
    I was asking a question on the topic, why connect modules everywhere? After watching this video more carefully now I realized that sound can be created from anything, processed and applied.
    I would like to make a suggestion to allow the user to use the mouse wheel to zoom in on text in module tooltips.

    Nice :) Grid is lovely. Now we have Poly, FX and Note Grids, but another type of grid is missing. I really wish to have Modulator Grid, where I can build custom modulators using grid concepts. One missing piece, please, please Bitwig team :*

    • @nilskozstum8256
      @nilskozstum8256 Місяць тому

      Not exactly sure what you are trying to achieve, but you can use the "modulator out" module to control parameters outside of the grid. You could for instance set up an FX grid as the first module of your chain, leave in and out connected, then patch up your own custom modulation in the grid and connect it to a modulator out. Then place all your instruments and effects into the Post Fx container of the FX grid device, now you can map the modulator out to any parameter of any device contained in the Post FX. These don't have to be effects by the way, they can also be regular instruments.

    groove pool
    midi comping + advanced midi tools
    drum sequencer
    notation sequencer
    audio repitch knob/slider function
    dedicated resampling track
    remove three button tap for values
    automation shapes +-*/rand
    timestretch algorithms in the sampler
    built-in sampler slicing
    new filters option in all instruments
    custom grid container devices
    improved modulation effects
    physical modeling synth
    physical modeling effect
    modeled electric pianos
    spectral synth
    reverb+ with algorithms
    delay 1,2,4 to 1.00 ms timing
    bounce on place with effect tail
    buffer module in the grid
    core oscillator & filter modeling
    dedicated buffer effect
    musical tuner
    custom themes
    licenced 3rd party development sdk kit
    Please implement these features and you'll have the greatest DAW in the world!!

      "bounce in place with effect tail" - DEFINITELY! It annoys me that I have to draw in a new clip, consolidate, and then bounce the result. Also, proper MIDI export (though you kind of included that in the second item).

    • @modartmusic
      @modartmusic Місяць тому +2

      you can just select the desired timeframe and bounce it in place, it exports the selection even if there is no clip. so no need to consolidate the clip to match the tail.
      hope this helps till they implement the feature.
      cheers!
