    I enjoy your tutorials. As a retired teacher, I'm well aware of the importance of not over-estimating what your listeners might know and demonstrating the basic things before going on to the more complicated ones. You have that covered!

    It's a really good tutorial, I was trying to understand how this works since I want to make some ambient background music for my video game. Thanks to this tutorial, I now understand that you can use the little arrow (for instance of the ADSR) to modify many parameters for the other modules and it doesn't have to be connected with a cable. I've now been able to make some wind sounds with gust sounds, pretty cool.

    I am instantly wondering, how I could make the patch to produce melodies that would "make sense" melody wise, but still be quite random. I guess these can also be used for some basis, then midi info can be taken and then further compose to pieces later on.
    This patch sounded like some Sync24, or CBL songs, I'm gonna use that same scale for my first experiment as well. :)
    Have a great day, greets from Finland and thanks once more!

    Ive been debating whether or not to get BitWig for generative ideas. I have been using Ableton for about 15 years, and I have VCV Rack, but I am always into trying something new. I spent a lot of money on hardware synths in the past and learned that it's really an expensive hobby to have so software is the way for me. I may give this thing a try.

    Das Bend Modul spielt den Rythmus in ansteigendem Tempo, so wie die Kurve anzeigt...clever das zu modulieren...das gibt dem Rythmus ein wenig random/ swing/ nudge/ shift
    The Grid is awesome.

    Great tutorial. Is there a way for the modulator to change after a number of bars? So every 4 bars or 2 bars, there is a trigger change?

    • @PolarityMusic
      @PolarityMusic  4 роки тому

      which modulator? the random mods on the device?

    • @peterkoval
      @peterkoval 4 роки тому

      @@PolarityMusic Yes, so right now you have the three notes modulated to create movement... is the a way to have it change every certain amount of bars, so example, every 4 bars, the modulator changes the skew differently... or some other way to time it within a timeline. Not sure if that made sense how i described it. Could be random or fixed. Just curious.

    • @PolarityMusic
      @PolarityMusic  4 роки тому

      yes. so the random mod creates new random values continously. and thats a bit too random ofc. to have a repeating pattern, which only changes after a few bars you have to sample/hold the values for a certain time. i think i will explain it in the next episode :)

    • @bci3937
      @bci3937 4 роки тому

      not sure what u mean, but you can just use random modules, also random the randomness probability (modulate modulations)

    • @PolarityMusic
      @PolarityMusic  4 роки тому

      yes, you can exchange the "gates" module for the "probabilities" module. Instead to switching a gate on or of you can define a chance of tiggering.

    I wonder if it's possible to create a generative patch for drum rhythms.

    • @phosfine7793
      @phosfine7793 4 роки тому

      of course! quite easy, actually.

    • @PolarityMusic
      @PolarityMusic  4 роки тому

      its easy to do, yes but its hard to make it sound good/authentic :D

    • @paradoxic1888
      @paradoxic1888 4 роки тому

      The classic four-on-the-floor rhythms would be much easier I'm sure. I've been checking out Beat Map by Reason, and it's very intuitive in that certain maps you upload are specific to a type of flavor or genre, and it's capable of creating some complex rhythms, especially if you load up 4 or more instances of it and mix and match the different maps and rates. I can't imagine how complex it would be to do something similar in Bitwig.

    • @PolarityMusic
      @PolarityMusic  4 роки тому

      @@paradoxic1888 doesn't matter what tool you use making complex patterns is easy but it always lacks purpose or meaning, and as soon you add meaning its not really generative anymore. So sometimes you want random drumhits occurring and sometimes not depend on the context of your surrounding track. The best option is probably to make it half procedural and blend in random drum hits on particular positions in the track.

    • @paradoxic1888
      @paradoxic1888 4 роки тому

      @@PolarityMusic Of course, it's more about speeding up the monotonous work for me. If you can generate some rhythms on the fly, you can start building out your samples in the drum rack, plus I tend to get stuck in the same "loops" (pun intended) and these techniques inspire me to get some new ideas. I've been experimenting with the random modulator in Bitwig such as randomizing hi hats, but it just got me stuck randomizing over and over where it would be quicker just to build your own hat, but I find generative synthesis fascinating. So with regards to that, your videos have been very helpful in getting around the Grid and finding synchronicity between both patterns and creativity.

    oh, you mean pre-CORD, not pre-CHORD... because you were dealing with pitch/keyboard, I thought we were talking about some sort of multi-note programming, but it's just a "pre-patched cord" that doesn't need to be connected... got it now...
