E-Kick 2
Added 2023-04-17 16:14:41 +0000 UTCBecause Bitwig is Bitwig, you can replace all kinds of Plug-Ins. Today: Replacing Kick 2 with the Grid and the new Bitwig Studio v5 mseg modulators.

Ok, improvement, I had to disable "smoothing". It sounds great now. Kick2 has better interface for tuning. But access to BW Grid allows for all many more possibilities. I'm going grid. Everything I learn can be leveraged. The investment is always worth it! I found other places where I used MSEGs as envelopes and did not disable smoothing. Much tighter basslines now too. Thanks for reading.

2023-10-02 20:19:50 +0000 UTCI went back and tried again, phew, what a PITA. After all the calculations of BPM to number of grid lines (and finding out that percent is conveniently 10% / octave) I find that even with the WT osc the attack starts at anywhere from 0 to 2 ms. Too much variation! The MSEG "pitch" envelope is causing this timing issue. I have to give up on Kick 2 in BW. Perhaps that video should include these caveats. I am always enjoying your videos, thanks so much!

2023-10-02 19:39:54 +0000 UTCits always the problem with bitwig: you can do it technically, but in the plugins you get a dedicated interface to all parameters. for a sinde which starts at 0 i usually use the wavetable osc with "Standard Four" or the scrawl :). but i actually like to have this click from the off center sine.

2023-09-26 21:18:09 +0000 UTCAfter my enthusiasm, I have to back off a bit. It is just too hard to tune the kick and amplitude through it's cycle within the Grid. Yes, if you get it right, it is tempo sync'd, but it's too tedious. Also note, the sine coming out of The Grid does not start at zero and go up. So if you want that, you have to phase adjust it.

2023-09-25 19:27:38 +0000 UTCI like how you mixed the "click" into the sign via phase to maintain phase coherence. Something Kick2 does not do, but Chop Suey does. These are the details right?
