Ofcourse!

There's a new device called "Replacer". It has a threshold control combined with a generator object.

When the input signal rises over the threshold, the specified note + velocity is used to triggered the instrument (generator). So for example, with a 4x4 kick pattern, it is possible to replace the kick with a tom (or a synth note ...) in real time. With more complex rhythmic sounds this will be very useful.

That's cool, I've never done much of that but it could really come in handy. They are covering a lot of bases.

Another great thing is that the newly introduced ARPeggiator has a chord mode!

How exactly does that work? It just makes a sustained chord play rhythmically? Combined with the sequencing that might be pretty fun.

Thanks, guys.

And whats that flying v button in the bottom?

Oh, to answer my own question, that must be where you choose the pattern of the arp, whether up/down or down/up, etc. Duh.

The arp sequence can be sent to any rack device (synth or drum machine), or 3rd party plugins. It's really very powerful, similar to what's possible in the Logic Environment, but without the headaches ...

For example: by using a layer device to hold multiple synths, the notes from the arp sequence can be filtered according to note + velocity, and sent to specific synths in the layer device. Or multiple synths could play the same sequence all at once. The arp can also be used to trigger the drum machine.

The possibilities are endless ...

Peace,
Andy.

Here is a screen shot of the Arp that was added to the latest beta.

Does that work on plugins also? If so that's pretty cool, I've always loved it when a host has an integrated arp. Sonar blew me away with that one, it was amazing.

Yep, the arp works with 3rd party stuff too. I'm using the Arpeggiator to play U-he's Bazille and I have the MIDI output of Audio Damage's Axon triggering some of the Bitwig drum synths. Lots of fun.

That is interesting. So you can do that with the arp in conjunction with the note effects that you said have been added to the poly synth device? So these note effects are right on the polysynth? Or are they hidden in a confige view like through that gear. And they are just for the polysynth or are they in everything, or at least all chromatic instruments like the sampler? Or are they their own effects?

Well that's one way of doing it. I haven't quite worked out what the Note FX slot in the FM + Poly Synth is for because there appear to be multiple ways of doing the same thing (as you would expect with a properly object oriented design / interface).

It could just be to keep some things hidden so that there's more room for other devices in the main rack view, or I might be missing something.

The Note FX is a dedicated box on the FM + Poly Synth instruments, but oddly enough not part of the sampler - but I don't think that matters for reasons stated above - same thing, multiple ways.

Andy.

Interesting, thank you.

Could it be so you can save it with a preset? I think they said that if you nested fx they would be saved with the preset at some point.

[ZenPunkHippy]

Yeah, I guess that would be one reason ...

you can save presets the other way around with the arp infront of the synth, so my guess is that the note fx insert is a way to keep things neater at the front of the chain, so you see the synth first. which is nice enough. i hope i'm wrong though, and it's for something awesome like mapping note expression data to modulation sources or some shit like that

Thanks Andy, it's this type of stuff that I look forward to. I can do it now but it ain't pretty.

Thanks all for the new info...

Thanks all for the new info...

yep, I'm also lurking within these parts!
moar cat picz!

I feel like Bitwig is just around the corner!!
