Create Per-Voice Offsets With Bitwig and Clap Instruments (Vintage Knob)

I know I can assign a random per voice modulator and set the depth in Bitwig, then assign that to a Clap plugin with polyphonic modulation, but is there a way to create fixed offsets that can be assigned to polyphonic parameters? There's a Voice Index modulator, but couldn't figure that out.

Is this possible? If it can be done, a high-level breakdown of the steps would be appreciated. I'd like to try to create some "Vintage Knob" style offsets that I can assign to various synth parameters, but I want them to be voice-index-based and not entirely random.

Which synth are you talking about?

In general, you can use Bitwig's Step Modulator. Suppose your polyphony is set to 6, then make 6 steps in the Steps modulator. Set Steps modulator to Note Advance mode. So each time you play a note it will advance a step. Put all 6 steps to 100% and then add mod targets. 100% gives you the maximum mod depth. Now you can set the 6 steps to where you want to for each voice.

You can also use ParSeq-8. It has a maximum of 8 steps and also has a note advance mode. The difference with ParSeq-8 is that you could put different mod targets on each step.

ParSeq-8 does the trick. Thanks for this! :tu:
