    Nice video! I’ve been playing a lot with Bitwig’s sampler lately too. It doesn’t seem to get as much love as it deserves. It just takes a bit of lateral thinking like this to really get it working.

    • @Alckemy

      To me it’s Bitwig’s best synth outside of the grid. There’s so many options with modulators, sample select, and automating between warp modes!

  • @lawinter1949
    @lawinter1949 2 роки тому +5

    Yo! I just figured out how to make bitwig's sampler have a "slice mode" like Simpler.
    1. Drag your loop into the arrange window to make sure its at the right tempo.
    2. Drag the loop into sampler, turn off sampler's key tracking and set unison to mono in the inspector.
    3. Add the the keytrack modulator to sampler, set it to absolute mode and attach it to the Play offset in Sampler.
    Now midi notes changes where it plays from in the sample instead of changing the pitch. I like to use absolute mode on the keytrack mod because it's easier to find slices in time with the tempo. I also set button macro make it play at half speed. It works pretty well the only thing missing is being able to set slices and play them closer together on the key board but other than that it works great!

      @@Alckemy Yeah I really like your method here for making basses. I'm gonna try it with a plugin I use called samplab. It is normally for extracting midi and editing polyphonic loops like pianos and guitars but I like to use it for sound design as well because it automatically separates the "samples" iit creates by velocity layer like what you're doing in this video. I've gotten some cool results using Bitwigs operators and modulators with it.

    Seems dope, but honestly the sample you chose is so noisy it doesn't serve as the greatest example of what Bitwig can do to it. Where it's supposed to sound mangled and where it's not is hard to determine. You started out with a gnarly bass, tweaked it to a gnarly bass, started it at different gnarly points, and wound up with the same gnarly bass sound. lol

    That’s really cool… is there a way to play chops of drum breaks and repitch them? I haven’t used Bitwig yet so I’m not sure if this makes sense - but what I’d like to do is slice at the main hits, and have it play to the end of the sample (or maybe loop a section). And I want to play a note to determine pitch. I can do either one on any sampler, but not both at once: select the sample and repitch it. The technique you used for bass is close, but with drums you need to be more precise with the sample start.

    • @Alckemy
      @Alckemy  2 роки тому

      Ah yeah so this is the slight dilemma, you can’t find slices with this method that detect transients but what you can do is toss a sample into clip launcher or timeline and go “slice to multisample.”
      You can also do some custom onset stuff before you resample but I’d have to cover that in another video as it would take a while to explain here

    • @PatMaddox
      @PatMaddox 2 роки тому

      This vid shows how to slice to multi sample at transients (“offsets” in bitwig I guess): ua-cam.com/video/b_wNHzsCrq8/v-deo.html So assuming that I can pitch samples individually then I could just duplicate the slices and repitch them and get what I want.

    Imho i think the sampler in ableton is way Better. Slice options with transient. Crop sample within the sampler so the preset is optimised. And Better Warp modes ( stretch algorithms/eleastique). I switched to bitwig some years ago, but still miss the sampler from ableton.

    • @Alckemy
      @Alckemy  2 роки тому +1

      Not sure if you got through the whole video but I addressed a lot of those problems. Bitwig has slice in place or to multi sample and while it can’t find transients without printing the audio the redistribution via loop points is way more efficient for anything non drums. Also, the warp modes are unique in that ableton has 3 different samplers (sampler, simpler, granulator) where bitwig can alternate between all three modes and be automated. Simpler can’t automate any warp features. Plus, bitwig is the only sampler out there that can granularize 128 different samples at the same time. I’d encourage you to spend more time with it!
      Preferences are definitely fine but for these reasons I prefer bitwig. :)

      @@Alckemy I hear you. But the things you are using bitwigs sampler for in your examples are more sound design options. I really just need a basic sampler playback engine within the DAW. Trigger samples/multisamples. And the ability so save a preset without "noise", hence the crop function (when I find the perfect sample loop or sample playback option). The workarounds in bitwig is a bit cumbersome for my taste.

Can't even lock the automations, when I'm chopping audios it follows the automations and it's all over the place. Stock plugins look like they were made for kids. The browser is a mess.

      I`m start pick up Bitwig Demo in last 3 weeks . And as ableton users since ver 4 , I can see that Bitwig offer some features which nice to have in Ableton .
      1. Operators for anyone who prefer to write midi notes and get more control about randomness
      2. Midi thru function without making another track to listen other midi VST tools like scaler or riffer etc ,
      3. Plugin crash sandbox . Ableton several times makes me redo project from start because the backup can not be restored . And it happen in front of clients !
      4.And the big one for me is easily to swap different Midi controller configuration on The fly without restarting the program .
      5. The generic midi with knobs controller which came from bitwig instalattion smartly mapping your 8 knobs into any devices and fx s without bothering doing manual mapping . And the great thing the also showing you the name of parameters, where device macro positions, so we dont too much guessing, especially if you have encoder knobs/pots . Very useful if you`re doing live sound mangling - editing in Live show
      6. The lists will go on
      But I agree about UI especially the theme and color . If they someday releasing the dark theme with monotone icons that will be awesome . Another things is not easy to find Bitwig tutorials which not talking about mangling and glitching and pure randomness . Check XNB or taches teaches , they have cool ways to blend the power of bitwig but still usable in "normal" project wise . And yeah just like the name Simpler in Ableton for chopping vocals etc seem more easy to grasp
