You could go ultra analog and use voice stacking with random using the CLAP version of Diva

Good suggestion! Especially that Diva is not that cpu unfriendly anymore.

I don't know about the sound quality... but you can definitely reach the CPU consumption of Diva

The Voice Stacking is a powerful sound design tool. Works well for doing granular stuff in the Sampler... for layering two close but different sounds... stack of two and pan them left and right... great for 2 sequences that offset each other... etc., etc., etc.

The new capabilities in 5.1 for soloing each voice, and the tools for working with each stacked voice in the Grid are impressive.

It opens a new dimension in sound design especially if combinex with the different modulators there.

The only two things (or synths) that I miss now are NI Razor and a good physical modal synth like Objekt. That's why I sometimes use Windows or Mac. It's because of that.

Anyway, I still can use only Bitwig, but I must design my own sounds because what's there aren't that good enough for me, which is a great practice to use as much as I can of Bitwig's abilities in sound design

This drive me NUTTTS in Bitwig. Why? can't you invert the zoom motion??? It would literally be 2mins programming, it's just a switch. I absolutely can't stand it that it is the complete opposite to every other DAW. Another one: Why... oh why... the smart tool works the compete opposite to all the other DAWs. Grab at the top of the clip and select at the bottom of the clip. It is massively pain in the bum when it's in your muscle memory and when using multiple DAWs. And why would they not implement a switch to make this optional? They do everything inverted just for the sake of. Anyway...

Merry Crimbo Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your holidays with family and friends.

Isn't this a Christmas magic? Thank you! If you had a solution for the smart tool as well...

5 underrated DAWs that aren't Logic, Ableton or Pro Tools, and why you should consider switching

...Bitwig is no longer the beginner DAW it once was, but a supercharged creative monster. Some concepts might take a mind shift but are worth exploring for going on tangents you will not have considered...

Bitwig in the same league as Korg Gadge

Live 12 or Bitwig 5.1
