I've been using Bitwig more & more over the last month and I can't be more in love for wayy too many reasons. One of them is it's amazing ARP which allows us to create repetitive yet random grid leads.
In this tutorial, I want to show you this arpeggiator, why I love it and how I use it to create these repetitive yet random sequences.

Enjoy 🙌

Yesss! I've been looking for days how to make these patterns. Thanks thanks thanks thanks!
hey man cool to see that you work with Bitwig. I've had Bitwig for 4 years and come from ableton. Everything is so easy and fast in Bitiwig. I'm looking forward to the next Bitwig video from you.
Totally man, am in love with it!
So far am still slower as am used to Ableton but its solving my problems one by one while opening my eyes on a new dimension of possiblities 😇
Bitwig is rock'n roll big time !!!!
Totally!
I just love this modular approach behind it where basically you have no boundries and everything can modulate everything.
Very nice application of Bitwigs modulation, thanks for sharing this!
I bought Bitwig a few days ago and already doing stuff that would have taken me ages to do in FL studio. I learned alot from FL and going to use it for my black metal/space rock projects but for pure electronic music Bitwig is the DAW now. Thanks for the tutorials. They really help!
Exactly been on it since they started, Once I got the BPM up past 25k and posted it to them lol.
Awesome !
Really, really nice. Taking full advantage of bitwig and serum. Thanks!
🙏🙏
Great - thank you.
Great tutorial. More Bitwig tutorials would be amazing :)
great. thankyou.
so cool
Cool tutorial. I subscribed.
thx 'you are the bast!
This is so awesome, loving the arp now that I have made preset patch of this tutorial. Many thanks. :) \M/
Bitwig's ARP is love, it soo versatile and efficient !
Happy you found my content useful :)
@@olliepsy Really appreciate how versatile this truly is after seeing what you did. Much appreciated!!! :)
Nice vid more bitwig tutorials please😃
There's a lot from where that came from ;)
Nice_one! thaks for ur content... enjoy;))
This is tasty! I have bitwig for a while but have not done much with it.
GO GO BITWIG
Do you know if I can control the arp via MIDI pads where the pads light up?
nice track, did you put it to a record?
Nice tutorial! Any other recommendable sequencers that aren't bitwig native have a similiar functionality?
My issue is always that in order to find nice sequences I will have to freeze/resample and edit quite a lot and apply bandpass automation/lfo at the very end so I can cherry pick from the recorded stuff and manually assemble a sequence. If i put a filter before resampling, i cannot really change the order of the synth shots, because there wont be a fluid transition of the filter positions.
if you're using Ableton live there's FUNK ARP and Randunca M4L devices that are kinda similar to the one bitwig has (without all the modulation possibilities)
Excellent tips, thank you. Just one odd thing to query: when you started randomising the step skip, is that supposed to make a silent beat, or is it literally skipping the step and playing the next one instead? When I was listening it sounded as if every 1/16 note was actually triggering, and I'd expected some to drop out.
yeah it's skipping those steps, moving immediately to the next unkipped step, rather than just holding a silence for that step.
I think this is why OP loses the repetitive feeling he wanted to keep
Yup, actually I've created a whole device that does the exact same thing in note grid and even more, the ARP device is good but clearrly not designed to go this far (The video explaining my device is on on my channel ;) )
Damn you, I JUST bought Ableton 10 😛 BitWig looks really cool, that arp too - love the sound you make as well ..!!
Thanks dude and Ableton10 still rock solide man, maybe in the future you can try out Bitwig ;)
@@olliepsy For sure! Reaper looks very interesting too. But, what I really should do is focus on sound design with my synths and effects. I'm new, so everything is so exciting haha 😁
@@biokode totally man, enjoy making music ;)
Today on Ollie Music: "How to modern Electric Universe"
haha pretty much x)
Bitwig is AWESOME! Switch to Bitwig and I will become your Patreon :D Or at least please make more videos like this, maybe Grid sound design?
haha for sure there will be more Bitwig tuts man, am diving in a whole new world of possiblities in here and I can't not share that xD
This arp comes alive when you program in chords, as it will only ever spit out a monophonic midi pattern but cycles through the different notes like an offset/transpose. Try it !!
And using this technique/method is where the algorithms get really interesting
But in this case you'll create a melodic sequence right ?
Never heard of bitwig. How is the sidechaining to 3rd party plugins? My 2 issues with Ableton are the lack of sequencers and issues with sidechaining (at least in 10.1).
In Bitwig you can do crazy routing and sidechain as well. I came from FL studio and sidechain there was just a pain. Now I feel happy)
Sidechaining is EZLIFE with Bitwig, you can basically sidechain everything with everything as it uses a modurlator device (just like the random lfo I used in this tuto) that will create an envloppe from the incoming audio that you can then route to anything basically, volume, panning, Serum's macros etc....
Pretty much, think of Bitwig as a modular system with an Ableton like sequencer
@@olliepsy Thanks for the reply :) I am very excited to pick up bitwig now. Sometimes just having a different DAW with a slightly different workflow can open up tons of new, creative possibilities.
Nice tutorial ! Ca y'est fini ableton ? :D
haha naan pas encore mais bientot xD
enfin, je vais pas jeter ma licence kmm
I prefer hardware ones myself, such as SQ1 and Keystep.. but whatever works
Am not familiar with hardware sequencers, tho I wanna try sequencing with an MPC for a change!
@@olliepsy i would like to see that!!
Is there a drum sequnecer good for bitwig ?
Is why here or not? Don't want to watch the whole video and find out why is somewhere else.
I know this video is 2 years old but its just a general thing, that is a problem in many youtube videos about music production: Do not use 3rd party vsts to showcase a native DAW feature. In this specific case, using Serum wouldnt even be a problem, if there wasnt 4 minutes wasted on its patch creation. I understand that it is simple and fast but it has ZERO percent to do with arpeggio, arpeggiators, bitwig or at least music theory. It could be taken as a minor introduction into synths in general but for that ALL daws provide MUCH simpler basic synths which would serve that purpose magnitudes better. While not really being a problem its a 100% waste both of your time and those of the viewers. Also the user interface of serum is a terrible mess. That alone would disqualify it for an educational video in my opinion.
Luckly is the digital era bud. You can fast forward in a breeze… Puff 💨
Magic!
wtf are you talking about, according to you why serum is the most used in tutorial videos, why it have surpassed Massive and why its still there.
It because it has the best interface and the most understable interface ever made of all digital synths.
