https://youtu.be/SZd7aoOjnCEIf you are shaping sounds, you are using synthesis techniques. And lucky for us, the Polymer instrument makes it easy on both sides of our brain. This tutorial runs thru six — SIX! — kinds of synthesis with the assistance of Bitwig's modulator devices. It is Polymer's world; we just live in it.
1:17 - An overview of Polymer
2:54 - Pulse waves are predictable!
3:51 - Stop 1: Pulse Width Modulation
4:46 - Interesting textures, that even get quiet!
6:11 - Stop 2: Phase Distortion
6:54 - Morphing shape and keeping the fundamental!
8:32 - Stop 3: Hard Sync
10:27 - Miami Vice! Hammer time!
12:02 - Stop 4: Phase Modulation
17:21 - Stop 5: Wavetable Synthesis
18:33 - Ramp modulator to read/loop each note!
19:54 - Stop 6: Unison Techniques
20:30 - Wavetable has its own unison modes!
22:51 - Every oscillator has stereo detune!
23:45 - And Swarm has eight voices of unison fire!

I guess no Bitwig 3.4 / 4.0 announcement today, because we just got a new video as a part of "Modular concepts" series.

Cool video, I like that they are not using filters. starting from phase-4 I saw how you can get crazy living sounds without even turning the filter on.

In the future, buy an upgrade when it is on sale ($129). You can activate it any time and it only starts counting the year from when you activate.duanosforde wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 8:57 pmPlease no, lol, after I just dropped another $170 on a year worth of upgrades.

Hey Thx, hopefully I can use that strategy in the future. The point I was making was in response to the post earlier - I hope bitwig isn't finished and they don't discontinue development after I paid for another year worth of upgrades (be it $129 or $169). That would suck and be as waste of $$, but would be spot on with my luck lol.pdxindy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 9:03 pmIn the future, buy an upgrade when it is on sale ($129).
