1. effect, track, group & project level modulators
2. expressions modulator
3. right click to adjust a parameters modulations, hit escape to get out of modulator mapping mode
4. dragging modulators out with ctrl vs no control inside vs outside
5. transfer curves of modulators
6. globals modulator for transport dependent stuff
7. audio rate modulation
8. get modulation signals out of the grid into the post fx chain

11. blur is a quick way to place sth in a space without any reverb or delay
12. underlay audio under note editor
13. use for this context(in browser)
14. micro-pitch(microtonal scales & edos)
15. customize shortcuts and make lotsa new ones
16. histogram chaos

20. warp automation curves
21. restore automation control button
22. in clip additive and multiplicative automation
23. context aware tools(event vs time)
24. Automation favs vs automation everything
25. Alt click for s vs c shaped fades
26. multi clip editing
27. Alt a to deactivate audio clips
28. clip gain by dragging the top
29. drag bottom of a clip to loop it
30. edit group clips and all the contents will move with them
31. Dragging sample into middle makes audio tracK, Sample into tracks region makes a sampler
32. hold alt while dragging clip to bounce it out(in place)
33. Clicking at the top with any tool places the playhead
34. pinning & locking note layers
35. event snapping
36. triplet, quintuplet and septuplet grids
37. shift to bypass/turn on grid snapping
38. plus n comma to make grid wider/narrower,
39. alt plus n comma to change subdivision triplet thingy
40. f1 for info view of plugin
41. write notes in cue markers, see from project panel
42. legato vs from start clip launching
43. drag time into clip launcher
44. multisampling & note ranges
45. sampler is also a granular and wavetable synth
46. keymap analyzer windows to bring them up quickly
47. project tabs(multiple open)
48. group view
49. different modes for two/three screens
50. click little top right button to show/hide notifications
51. instrument and fx plugins can have multiple outputs
52. import custom colour schemes for track colours
53. select at top to select time of all tracks
54. Duplicating Time selection includes silence, duplicating event selection doesnt
55. holding ctrl to select multiple unconnected things, vs shift to select everything in between
56. Warping multiple events vs warping time
57. clap plugin support (open source)
58. plugin sandboxing
59. .dawproject support (open source)
60. import fl, ableton etc project files
61. controller scripts(driven by moss)
62. controller scripts as utilities(timecalc)
63. see latency a track adds to total, 2 secs are the max for compensation
64. pin actions from submenus to top lane
65. conver between mid/side and stereo split
66. dynamic eq with modulators
67. upgrade eq2 to eq5 to eq+
68. New eqs and compressor+ have mid side mode in inspector
69. input note values instead of hz into filters
70. filter+ and polymer are grid patches, can be converted
71. grid signals are all one, waveshape cv
72. rotary = auto pan
73. set instrument layers to only respond to certain note ranges
74. drag projects into other projects
75. some devices have larger views, like eq+ or compressor+
76. use maths to combine signals and make complex presets
77. hold a tools number, use it, let go again
78. tall/narrow tracks, map switching to a key
79. hit a in narrow mode to see the sample with a gridline overlay
80. save default presets, including modulators and output chains
81. all samples in the project file sample thingy
82. hold alt to draw on grid
83. separate sounds into tonal and noise with transient split
84. process your sidechain, eg filter & transient shaping, or clipping.
85. feedback with sends
86. recording takes by looping
87. search also finds folder names(make sure the folder is added in locations=
88. Bounces and recordings can be found in project folders, plunder them for creating sample packs
89. Right click to find an audio event in the windows explorer
90. hold alt to enable/disable warping when dragging samples in
91. Turn off plugins & tracks vs deactivate them(cpu)
92. Midi signals flow to the end of each lane, plugins can just use them
93. right click to change note colouring mode
94. bouncing a group in place overrides its inputs?
95. hold ctrl+shift while holding a note to adjust velocity
96. Select tracks to export stems
97. you can bounce the master track in place and just deactivate the rest
98. change output volume without touching the master fader in the monitoring tab
99. use mixer view to identify cpu heavy tracks
100. set crossfade time on fx selectordd
101. fx selector fades input, not output
The video is slightly out of sync in bits, the video is a little earlier than the audio. incase sth is confusing thats probably why. sadly can't fix it atm.
the song in the video:

i love highly condensed videos :)
same hehe, i assume most people will know somethings already, but this way i'm pretty sure there'll be something new for everyone in it somewhere
Video is worth it´s length in gold.
thanks a ton! i like to think of it as brute forcing a bitwig tutorial hahaha
audio and video doesn’t seem to be lined up
lol yeah sometimes it is, other times it isnt. its like close so it felt fine, but sth weird happened in davinci. sometimes the video is a few seconds early. Ill have to see if i can patch it up a bit in the yt editor
15:18 - you have blessed me today
haha, the stepped automation or the resampling? either way, thats good to hear
Great bitwig tip collection and density, thank you :)
thanks!
'preciate you, man.
Likewise, always nice to see your comments
Won't modulating semitones result in exponential FM?
yup
1:52 Can you please explain how to turn it into an FM synth, as when I tried it the way you showed and also the Wavetable LFO module it sounded horrible. I need to really massage the value to get something useable. Most FM synths sound good no matter how much you adjust the FM value.
Youll probably need to use sth thats keytracked instead of test tone to get it sounding good, like maybe a second polymer or sth
" Most FM synths sound good no matter how much you adjust the FM value." Thats a bold statement.
@@Trickey2413 haha yeah ime all fm synths sound like shit if youre not careful
Perhaps "sounding good" refers to the pitch being stable -- even if the timbre sounds like a dentist drill. Pure FM when a modulator acts upon a carrier for pitch is known as exponential FM. This causes the pitch to rise the more the modulator is fed into the carrier. What the OP might be looking for is phase-modulation -- very confusing since the DX-7 is NOT FM but phase modulator. The naming convention might seem purely academic, but the results are different. Modulating the phase (pm or phase modulation) results in similar tones/timbre (most of the time), but the pitch remains the same.
Fortunately, you can feed any modulator (even another oscillator) into the phase input of another oscillator in Bitwig's Polygrid (the purple inputs).
@@brianbergmusic5288 yeah, i think some synths have a modulateable phase thingy too. and yeah, realistically id just use the grid for any pm/fm business
