Trigger gate with lfo, steps or other mods?

[mgru]

Hi everyone

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way of connecting the output of modulators to a gate in of a sampler or synth in Bitwig.

I would like to trigger sounds with an lfo or use the steps modulator as a simple step sequencer.

Can this be done in Bitwig?

source modulator >> dc offset >> audio rate modulator >> target something

Thank you, that's a pretty cool trick, but this only partially helped in my case.

I did what you said, but i can still target only controls, knobs etc. as with other modulators.

I would like to target the midi gate, or trigger the sound in any way.

Don't believe you can... yet...

this is what we can do ...

BUILDING A SYNTH VOICE FROM SCRATCH
Aleksej Komarov
The Bitwig device DC Offset can be used to manipulate sound in many ways. With the use of modulators the DC Offset device can be turned into an oscillator. In this video Aleksej Komarov, also known as Style Mistake, shows you how.

In this no-speech tutorial, Aleksej goes through all the steps of building a basic synth voice, with key tracking, amp envelope, and even a noise generator.

Not really what you are asking but you can use note probability (the Polarity Music preset) on a stream of midi data. If you set an arpeggiator to run at a high speed with a long held note, then modulate the percentage on the note probability you can approximate getting your lfo / sequence to trigger notes. The problem with this is it will never be truly random in terms of timing since the arpeggiator is locked to the grid. You can also do the same sort of thing off grid by using note echo instead of the arp, set to ms. values.

This is the closest you can come in Bitwig to a sort of open / cv / gate kind of triggering, but its a decent technique I like to use. This note probability preset is incredibly powerful.

Thanks, exactly what i was looking for.

Sounds a bit rough at the moment, but this is more or less what i wanted to achieve:

I am hopeful that some sort of trigger/note generator device enters the fray soon, preferably with wild modulation possibilities. The DC Offset + Replacer combo is becoming quite ubiquitous but still feels like a workaround, give us a sequencer device Bitwig

DC Offset + Replacer has at least 1/64 delay so it not too precise, the best one currently is triggering clips from the arranger > viewtopic.php?p=7233566#p7233566 (which is not generated but at least precise )
