Modular Concepts: Polyphony [Bitwig Studio]

Yes, polyphony means we can play more than one note on a synth, but as with many fundamentals, Bitwig takes it further. In this episode, we see polyphony in action and then move to The Grid, where audio signals can last forever, polyphonic audio FX can separately process each note, and Note Grid can go both ways, accommodating note processor and generator paradigms. 🧬🤯
0:19 - Voices exist in instruments… and in Bitwig's Grid devices
2:01 - Polyphony (more than one voice) means voice management
2:45 - "Digi Mono" (two overlapping voices) also manages voices
3:31 - "True Mono" is on all the time. Like electricity. Try to stop it. You can't.
4:22 - Managing polyphony in The Grid
6:03 - Poly Grid as droning, drifting fun
7:02 - FX Grid can make polyphonic audio effects. Woah.
10:06 - A band-pass filter can help isolate voices
12:37 - Note Grid case 1: note processor → polyphonic
13:55 - Using sustain pedal (via CC In) to alter our notes
15:18 - When poly, Chance randomizes each voice
16:56 - Note Grid case 2: note generator → True Mono
18:22 - 2 Triggers + Merge = polyrhythms
19:05 - Logic signal behavior, and how to change it
22:11 - Attenuate to… change rhythmic complexity. Duh.

Please keep making these videos! It’s like the Bob Ross of modular and music experimentation.

Bitwig is crushing competition

[@reptilespantoso]

Cool! Thank you! More long tutorals are welcome.

[@SongOfItself]

The Fountain of Random made my day :-) These videos are a joy to learn from, please keep the magic coming.

[@magicseadog8674]

I really value this both as a learning tool and as inspiration

[@BorisBarroso]

Wow this was really awesome, controlling the beats and generating new rhythmic patterns moving knobs is mind blowing, thanks for this tutorial.

[@marcbrasse747]

Excellent! This is where Bitwig Studio really shows it's depth. Can one also send in questions about how to create a certain solution?

[@mark35mi]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@bigdap100]

I’m sorry I ever doubted you guys.

[@lumipakkanen3510]

Consider adding Screencast Keys to these tutorials. You seem to be doing cool things without using the mouse.

[@mjaa1307]

Maybe it would be nice having the presets to download.

[@pixelwash9707]

Interesting exploration, thank you, it hints at the depth and power of the software, but maybe I am just stupid, for me it was a terrible explanation of how polyphony works in Bitwig, very confusing lol, I'm definitely going to have work all this out with trial and error myself, which is probably what I needed to do in the first place...

[@karamabeats]

Please help about voice recording sound on sound settings

[@drummatik4182]

Hi, the whole bitwig team could you put the subtitle and language translation option on all your videos, Merci

[@davelinnenbank750]

Subtitles are on (and cleaned up) for this video now. Working on the others too. Thanks for the note~ 🥖

1.50 speed, you're welcome

[@mannik2435]

and less voice modulation...

[@DJminiLibra]

kein Untertitel möglich?!

[@davelinnenbank750]

Jetzt gibt es Untertitel. Entschuldigung~

[@heiner_kruse]

great potential in all the bitwig stuff, but somehow the video annoys me at a certain point

[@ramdevgehlot4317]

[@beat_tmc]

Guys please change the theme, something like ableton or studio one. This theme is too tiring.When you change the theme, I'll buy it.

[@mikedurden]

nah, I like this theme.

[@ragnarroeck]

No, you won't :)

[@__Ben777__]

I wish Reaper had this theme

[@ramdevgehlot4317]

plz reply

[@marcobortoletto6742]

I love Bitwig and these video tutorials are very interesting but I can't stand the voice! It's absolutely not professional and boring with all those up and down tones that make me turn off audio and activate english subtitles.

[@Rustyboyyy1]

Same here. Great videos, software etc but that voice............
