    damn that was awesome. I love seeing cool sound design made with bitwig default synths and effects

      Thanks for watching! I wanted to show a process and mindset coming into designing with bitwig

    best FM-4 video
    anytime i find a particular bitwig feature underwhelming, i can trust that you have a video making some face-melting sound out of it

    I love FM-4. For my needs it's much better than Phase-4 which - for all intents and purposes - was meant to supercede and replace it.

      I would love fm 4 if you could change the initial waveform and/or modulate the matrix. The mod knobs are a great alternative but it isn’t the same

      @@Alckemy Sure, that wouldn't hurt. A built-in multi-mode filter wouldn't either. But I guess I've been using Bitwig's synths as oscillators, so if I needed a square I'd use Polysynth with FM-4 in an Instrument Layer or something. I also like FM-4 for it's compact size, negligible CPU footprint and ...the way its looks, too - too few Bitwig devices actually have their own visual characted (the lates + effects are case in point) and I like to see in a glance what's what.

    Excellent video, Alckemy, thank you very much. You've got thumb up and new suscriber!
    One thing isn't clear in my mind are the values (from 0 to 999) in the matrix, I don't understand what these values are meaning (perhaps kind of percentage X 10, but not sure).

      Thanks for watching! It’s just a hz value for how much fm is being applied to the appropriate carrier/modulators

    cool stuff, not slow enough for me but I hung on for a bit. Where did you gather the most knowledge of fundamental synthesis?

    • @Alckemy
      @Alckemy  2 роки тому +1

      Sorry Skunky! My advice would be to just watch as far as your interest will allow (I know it’s long) and then make your own stuff from that. follow along videos always bored me personally but you can always ask any questions you might have.
      I learned all the basics from UA-cam back in 2013 and then got into specialty stuff with my mentors via private lessons

    Great video. dude, which do you prefer FM-4 or phase 4?

    • @Alckemy
      @Alckemy  2 роки тому

      Probably phase 4 for bass. It doesn’t have as much variation for wave forms but has more flexibility with modulating the pm

    Bitwig has many flaws as a DAW but its devices are really top notch

    • @Alckemy
      @Alckemy  2 роки тому

      I like a lot of their devices and hope they improve on a lot as well. Even still, it’s definitely serviceable
