Hey man, I just thought I'd say a big thank you for all the effort you put into your Bitwig tutorials. I have learnt so much from you over the years, and I really appreciate it. The sounds you create using the default Bitwig instruments, and the way that you explain the steps, really help a beginner like me. Keep up the good work :)
Used this in conjunction with the resonators bank with key tracking enabled, it adds more acoustic feel to it, sounds kind of like an ethnic string instrument. Also makes sense to use the convolution reverb with a real place impulse response.
I came across your channel by chance. I'm new to Bitwig and of course I'm happy when there are so many tutorials available. I would like to leave you a subscription and a like.
The drift presets in 4.3 sound great I'm new to this sort of stuff so might have to try and deconstruct a few of them it's complicated looking and I'm a newbie so glad i found your channel. Thanks 😊
I know it's a side topic, but that thing about setting the oscillator ratio to 0:1 and then modulating the phase amount is something I never understood! Thanks for the clear explanation!
This is pretty special… the sound you create around 11:00 is just calling for a whole slow ambient track. As always, so much to take away and experiment with, thanks Polarity.
Wow, great tutorial!! Thank you! I already knew the basics a little but you added all the details to make it a really great sound! Didn’t know you can also make bell and flute sounds like this!
you can get some nice discordant scraping effects by using mod wheel or automation to bend the pitch of the oscillator a little but leave the comb filter frequency alone, I've used it in some presets for Arturia, need to see if it works as well in Polymer. Great video as always, I was today old when I understood what setting the oscillator pitch to zero then moving the phase actually does, super useful, thank you. Finally signed up to your Patreon to say thanks, bottom tier because I'm currently poor but it's something for now. Thanks for making these!
2:45 Does anyone else hear the pitch of the note go slightly flat as the damping is turned down? I get this illusion all the time and can only assume it's pscyho-acoustic, but I don't remember ever seeing it explained. The same thing happens if I listen to a song that begins with just the bass and percussion. When the rest of the instruments come in, they sound sharper to my ears, because I was hearing the bass as flat (or is it the other way round? I can't actually remember, haha!)
I don't think it's some sort of psycho acoustic effect. This is just how it works. When damping is down, there are less harmonics, comb filter decays faster and more of the original sound comes through that's not pitched so the outcome becomes less tonal.
@@CuriousPassenger I wouldn't describe it as less tonal. To my ear there's a fundamental pitch that definitely gets lower. As I said above, this also happens with bass when it's on its own in a musical context. What's really bothering me is that I still don't know whether this is a recognised effect that most people experience, or whether there's something odd about my hearing. :)
I recently switched to Bitwig and it amazes me how the devices look so basic, yet a lot of them are much more powerful than stand alone VSTs that sell for over £/$100 each! I initially thought "well these are shit! I'm never going to use these!" But then when you actually dive into them and watch tutorials like this one you're blown away at the things that the devices and Bitwig can do! I do still wish they called it something else though. It's a nice concept of why they called it that, and it makes sense... But it's a bit awkward when someone asks me what DAW i use and i saw Bitwig. They always say "What?"
bitwig makes me lost .. its the most influenced tool for making music since i start making music in 1994 .. great .. great .. go for it and do music ;-)

❤️🙏thx for the kind words 🥰
Yep. Was just thinking the same. Cheers
This guy is some sort of wizard. I'm pretty new to Bitwig but I'm constantly amazed at the depth of the built in instruments and modulators.

I wouldn't be surprised if bitwig eventually brings physical modelling devices in future updates
Awesome tutorial, thank you for sharing! I remember discovering Comb filter in Massive back in the day, spent countless hours experimenting with it.
Loving all the tutorials on physical modeling sound design 🔥
Been with bigwig since the first day. Love it!

this was such fun, I ended up saving some plucked string instruments here today
👌🔥
Very clever and inspirational. 🤙🏴
Very nice approach! Thanks 🌻

Thanks really enjoyed that. 💖
WOW! beautiful string sounds! so easy!
Super useful video. Thanks!
Sounds fantastic!

Awesome and incredibly beautiful! Thank you for your creativity.

Pretty cool.
Thank you. This was extremely useful!
Niiiice!

oHo! It's so easy when you watch a guy WHO KNOWS (;-)))) !just playing around!
I will need some time to get my jaw back up to normal!
