The Grid: Tips and Tricks

[bite_me]

Wasn't obvious to me at first, but scrolling left-right and up-down for large Grid structures is Shift-Drag.

And shift-scroll

to me it's easier to just middle-click to pan around, no need to use keyboard.

step sequencer, just an idea / proof-of-concept

dunno what would be the easiest way anyway it finally can by synched properly to the transporter

[x.iso]

For making sequencers in sync with transport it's better to use Transport module from LFO section (and uncheck 'Free-run when stopped') as Phase generator instead of relying on Grid's Phase, also insert Reset from Phase section to the output of Transport module(s) and trigger restart with Transport play state (from I/O section). I also use Phase Counters and also reset them with that.
With that you can more easily make parallel sequences with polyrhythms as well (using different Transport LFO or Phase Counters).

^^^ wow, thanks, much better

I recently went thru the MTurboReverb Videos and learnt a lot about how Reverbs are working internaly.
The Videos explain how Allpass and Combs can be used...Elements that are available in The Grid as well.
Has anybody tried that already?

Please MIND your ears. Feedback loops and Mixers where ale channelsgo in at 0 db can result in noise bursts.

Questions
1.) Is there a pitch shifter device?
2.) Is there a Oscillator Syncer?
3.) Is there a Ring Modualtor?
I think they are probably all there or respectively the "atoms" from which I can build them.

1) There's no Pitch shift module that would simply pitchshift the incoming audio, but there's Pitch Shift device in Bitwig library that could be used in FX chain or elsewhere, sidechained into Grid. Otherwise I think it should be possible to assembly such device from modules of Grid.
2) There are quantizer modules, also near retrigger input there's switch to retrigger on note input.
3) There is in Level section, called AM/RM

Thanks! Damn I should have rtfm
Was asking for a pitch shifter because I was thinking about to building a shimmer reverb. Brian Enos shimmer has a "pitch shift" in the fb loop.

so yepp, always it was my problem with the automation triggering things in BWS

2048 samples, 1/64 bar sliding, 256 samples 1/128 bar sliding

strange, I don't have this issue. using WASAPI drivers with default fixed 448 samples (10ms latency). I've set up instrument track to record notes generated from my Grid sequencer and no notes are skipped, everything recorded perfectly quantized straight from beginning. Did you have this problem with Replacer before Grid and v3?

[xbitz]

^^^ I'm on mac so can't play with the drivers too much now (but have the same issue from BWS 1.0, automation was never too precise/super tight in BWS), anyway I'm on Reason where don't have this problem

so just wanted to mention it (Reason has other issues ... )

Audio Rate modulators are ok, but the MIDI triggering/generating ...

even the CC one

Does someone already tried to make a nice drone grid chain?

Yup... just turn off the env trigger and Osc's are always on...
