Additive & Modal Heaven - Bitwig 5.1b1
Added 2023-10-19 00:43:58 +0000 UTCYo folks, Bitwig just dropped new content yesterday and in this video its about the new voice spread options and how to use voices to create interesting modal and additive syntheshizers.
In today's video we dived deep into the realm of 5.1 voice spread and additive synthesizers using the grid and other devices. We focused on creating different sine partials and discussed multiple ways to spread out these frequencies to create unique sounds.
Key Takeaways:
- Starting with a monophonic sine oscillator, we used the voice stacking feature to add up to 16 voices.
- Explored various methods to spread frequencies like stack modulators, specifically the 'stack spread.'
- Demonstrated how to modulate pitch offsets, resulting in each voice playing a different frequency.
- Discussed several modes such as Golden Prime, Straight, and Random to influence how the frequencies are spread.
- Introduced alternative methods like pitch quantization to keep the sound harmonic.
- Delved into voice control modulators for granular control over individual voices.
- Explained the 'voice info' module to get an index number for each voice, which can then be used for various modulations.
- Showcased ways to manage the volume levels of different partials.
- Presented additional modulation options using step mod and curve settings, enabling more customization for sound design.
Overall, the possibilities are virtually endless, offering you a powerful toolkit for creating a wide array of sounds. Stay tuned for more in-depth videos!
