Yes, I think it is the attention to detail that really takes the grid to the next level. It is almost as if we are on the Grid V3 rather than it being a first iteration and it is a pleasure to use. I think a lot of people who may not have tried Bitwig before are going to be blown away when they can Demo the Grid in V3.

Yeah... it also breeds confidence in the implementation of other features that someone may want more than the Grid.SLiC wrote: Sun Jun 02, 2019 9:21 am Yes, I think it is the attention to detail that really takes the grid to the next level.

Not yet, but I suspect the devs are aware of the masses clamouring for such a thingpierb wrote: Wed Dec 23, 2020 4:40 am Is it possible to use The Grid to create note effects (midi effects) ?

One of my most wished for features... I suspect it is a fair bit of work to add that.

But there are workarounds. Polarity taught us that trick...

Is there MSEGs in the Grid? I can't find.. I'm trying to replicate a few Tantra patches.

Depending on what you are trying to do, there are various ways to create complex MSEG type modulations...

Give me an example shape...

No obviously? Well.. It's not impossible task to just draw automation

To do that shape in the Grid, use a Gates module set to 16 steps, with a Gate/No Gate/Gate/Gate repeating pattern across the 16 steps. Use the Gates module then to trigger an Env to create the basic pattern. Set the attack to 0 and Decay to taste.SneakyBeats wrote: Tue Dec 29, 2020 3:43 pmShape.jpgpdxindy wrote: Tue Dec 29, 2020 2:50 pm Give me an example shape...

Then you would use a couple Steps (also set to 16 steps) modules to modulate the Env for the individual differences. One Steps module goes to a Multiply Module along with the Env output and the height of each step would control the strength of the Env with each retrigger. The second Steps module all steps would be 0 except 13 which would modulate Env attack.
I was able to reproduce that exact shape.
