In today's exploratory video, we look at using the Note Grid and retriggered, blended and pitched quantized LFOs to generate melodic MIDI that can be sent to any instrument of your choosing. Being able to so easily create these delicious modular moods is the number one reason I love Bitwig. I hope you enjoy playing around with this idea :)

Tip: If the Wavetable LFO isn't passively generating a signal, you need to set the Note Grid's "Voices" to "Mono" from the Inspector Panel
Thanks, that was painful. Plus, set triggers "mute when stopped".
Wow, Thanks! I was stuck on that for a bit.
I probably spent an hour trying to figure this out, and was unable. Thanks so much.
@@citadelo5ricks I think you mean uncheck "Free-run when stopped" ? Anyway that worked for me.
Yes, when you are coming from hardware modular synthesis (where it is expected that oscillators and LFOs are ALWAYS running), the number one important thing to know about The Grid is to set Voices to 1.
God... I love Bitwig so much.
Me TOO!
I would use bitwig but dispite all if it’s features it doesn’t have
Highlight scale mode,
Wtf
U guys got new automation tools, and can design ur synths from scratch.
But can’t highlight scale…
Really glad to see you back
Hehehe thank you brother. Great to be back :)
Really appreciate your presence. Always a refreshing take on things and a relaxed teaching style. Huge thanks, I know it's harder work than you make it seem to put out vids like this
I'm so glad you dig the videos - it is my pleasure to share my love for Bitwig with the wide world! It's definitely a bit of effort creating these videos but I''m trying to develop less of a perfectionist attitude towards so as to keep it up for longer ♥
Just stumbled across this. Really cool and i appreciate the frank and straightforward style. Thank you!
I literally search youtube for a random note generator for Bitwig, thanks to have done the job for me ;-) Always a pleasure to follow you !
OMG you helped me so much! I was being ridiculous and for the life of me I could not figure out how to record my generative patch from the poly grid into the arranger. I was trying to record via midi track but I see you used the Audio Track!!! Thank you so much!!!
You made a ‘think’ with your space bar in the first minute or so that deserves to be sampled as a kick. Love this and love that you’re giving lessons. Thank you!
this one's a gem, cheers Tache
Thanks buddy :)
Dude, the way you think on how to make music is so untraditional, and I love that. Your approach is amazing! Thank you so much!
I appreciate your kind words Rafael! Thanks for watching and getting involved :)
5:40 - I believe this is called Hocketing or at least a form of it. Such a fun thing to do! I always get my pitch scaler and pitch quantizer in the wrong order and it never works right! Quantizer then scaler doesn't work. Never thought about using the post fx for note scale, that's such a good idea!
This is a melody generator of sorts, not hocket, but it could be made into that by distributing the notes over various instruments, in sequence.
"In music, hocket is the rhythmic linear technique using the alternation of notes, pitches, or chords. In medieval practice of hocket, a single melody is shared between two voices such that alternately one voice sounds while the other rests"
Awesome note grid video. I’m inspired to use it more now. Thanks!
Thanks Taches, some real gold in here 🙏
Happy to help! Much love ♥
Nice vid Taches. Love seeing others peoples ideas on the grids.
Glad you enjoyed it! Much love Kenneth :) That was my Dads name
Lots of great stuff in here, thank you.
Great stuff, I thought you were losing your marbles between 30:00 and 35:00 but then the Pitch Quantizer and slowing the whole thing down turned mush into magic
Awesome!
Considered putting projects and devices on Patreon again? These look like pure gold.
That's a great idea! I've just uploaded the Note Grid preset to my Patreon :)
Will do way more of this moving forward!
Really smart & creative approach. V cool.
Fantastic. I would be interested in seeing something like this with chords.
So cool! Thank you a lot :)
I love the note grid, but I still don't know how I can get a modulation source out and pass it to another device or instrument. Is there a trick?
You have to make it mono 🥰
hi, thanks for the content. Very informative and following through. One question, in the early part of the content, when i click stop to stop the transport, if the counter happens to be zero, i get a continous note even after stopping. Why is that and how to prevent? I am using 5.04. Thanks
Wonderful stuff. Gonna try this later.
Can I suggest a follow up? How to generate a random 'top line' melody, with random trigger, different gate lengths and rests?
Bitwig 5's browser is so slow, you are not alone. Kind of annoying this went out of beta with it.
Anyway, thanks for sharing!
I’m having a weird issue where the note going through note grid into polymer juste triggers a short note and then disengages entirely.. What am i doing wrong?
💥 pow! Bitwig 5 tips incoming?
Counter module, I think it starts at 0 so for 4 outputs you need to set a counter to 3?
As soon as I delete the 'Note In' in note grid my lfo's do nothing just flatline in the oscilloscope and no more midi out to polymer. Don't know what the hell is going on
You have to set the poly grid to Monophonic. Otherwise it enables note lifetime management, which means notes are only created if they go through a finite envelope. If they didn't do this you could easily create a million voices without realizing it and kill your CPU.
In Note Grid settings set voices to Mono (True) and check Control and Audio Thru in Routing.
This is a really good one mate. Very well explained.
