Thanks for watching! Bitwig really does give you a huge amount of flexibility

Look up the Grid stuff

To me it’s Bitwig’s best synth outside of the grid. There’s so many options with modulators, sample select, and automating between warp modes!

These noises are what this kind of workflow tip is designed for 🤷‍♂️ finding cool variation and contextualizing these sounds is the problem it’s designed to solve :)

some stuff still has to be retriggered by midi. just how bitwig works

so sick ty

You can definitely do it this way but I prefer to slice it via the velocity because it all does me to re distribute the slices and change the pitch. Even still. This works too:)

Thank you for watching!

@@Alckemy Yeah I really like your method here for making basses. I'm gonna try it with a plugin I use called samplab. It is normally for extracting midi and editing polyphonic loops like pianos and guitars but I like to use it for sound design as well because it automatically separates the "samples" iit creates by velocity layer like what you're doing in this video. I've gotten some cool results using Bitwigs operators and modulators with it.

You can slice at onsets

You can do it with granular mode as well without having to do multisample :)

@@Alckemy oh YEAH. I don't do granular mode too often. Which modules would you add to the sampler?

Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I hope you love it!

Thank you, I agree!

Ah yeah so this is the slight dilemma, you can’t find slices with this method that detect transients but what you can do is toss a sample into clip launcher or timeline and go “slice to multisample.” You can also do some custom onset stuff before you resample but I’d have to cover that in another video as it would take a while to explain here

This vid shows how to slice to multi sample at transients (“offsets” in bitwig I guess): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMWngaur2KnWoWw.html So assuming that I can pitch samples individually then I could just duplicate the slices and repitch them and get what I want.

@@PatMaddox yep, there’s a lot of options, just not all in one device exactly

Thank you for watching!

That sounds like a sandwich and now I’m hungry

Every story deserves to be told 😂

Dude MRIs have some of the sickest bass noises lol. I remember thinking how dope it would be to sample it while I was in one

@@uirehuigedkahds I thought the same! The interesting (mad/wow) is I've been chatting to a Twitter follower tonight about being in one. Blows my tiny mind. When I was home after MRI. I hit the internet big time, the sounds (the tech) wow.

Thank you for watching!

It’s a first party effect so it only works with bitwig I’m afraid. But you can bounce stuff from all those devices and put samples in to this

Doesn’t bother me personally but you’re not the v only one to say it. You can apply this stuff to ableton as well though. Thank you for watching!

Looks ugly

That's funny, because for me the bitwig UI is the best of all I've tried, wich included flstudio wich was/is just horrible, live wich was even more so, studio1 maschine and mpcbeats wich all looked like shit....and dont even MENTION things like pro tools wich looks like paint from windows 94... Maybe its just because I have not been a UI designer for 2 decades, maybe you could explain a bit more detailed what it is that you find nasty in the bitwig UI?

And also Bitwig's browser is messy and unorganized. The navigation browser just sucks!

Exactly! Bitwig is my choise of daw (after pro tools, qubase, fl studio, reason, ableton etc. Etc.) and it is insane deep with streamlined workflows. But I hate how it looks! Always hated it so much. It's messy and ugly. Remainds me my early 90's tracker time. And you are kind of lost a bit always even when u know well bitwig. And it's browser still not make complete sense to me after these years :D

Thank you for watching!

Just re-watched this vid. Isn't one downside that every time you adjust the velocity to select a different portion of the sample...you're also changing the velocity of each midi note? How do you normalize the velocity after you have the sample portions that you like?

@@monroeja you turn off the knob to the right so velocity doesn’t affect the gain:)

@@Alckemy oh geez. I swear I looked. Thx. I tend to get a lot of pops and crackles due to the playhead jumping around. It could just be my system though. It's not state of the art.

@@monroeja the velocity shouldn’t matter with cracks and pops but you can still adjust the envelope accordingly. There’s a knob over to the right that has a little velocity icon, just drag it to the left to turn it off

Not really. I have both because I make content. If recommend getting something that’s a different workflow or gear as you said

No idea. I’ll take a look

Update it comes with a limited feature sampler

Not sure if you got through the whole video but I addressed a lot of those problems. Bitwig has slice in place or to multi sample and while it can’t find transients without printing the audio the redistribution via loop points is way more efficient for anything non drums. Also, the warp modes are unique in that ableton has 3 different samplers (sampler, simpler, granulator) where bitwig can alternate between all three modes and be automated. Simpler can’t automate any warp features. Plus, bitwig is the only sampler out there that can granularize 128 different samples at the same time. I’d encourage you to spend more time with it! Preferences are definitely fine but for these reasons I prefer bitwig. :)

@@Alckemy I hear you. But the things you are using bitwigs sampler for in your examples are more sound design options. I really just need a basic sampler playback engine within the DAW. Trigger samples/multisamples. And the ability so save a preset without "noise", hence the crop function (when I find the perfect sample loop or sample playback option). The workarounds in bitwig is a bit cumbersome for my taste.

You can do all of that in Bitwig...but in Bitwig fashion.

You can set slice parameters and truncate in the sampler and then jump from slice to slice on your own or randomize

Stay hydrated!

@@psysword I'll never go back!

As in you love bitwig? Me too^^

The process of being able to cycle through such varied samples at an extremely high efficiency rate is what this video is about:)

@@Alckemy heheh cool. definitely awesome sounds. sorry for leaving a cranky comment! :-X

@@Alckemy I guess it might be helpful to have a demo with 2~3 sections in the underlying sample so that it's easier to follow? Anyway, I am not initiated into the "neuro bass" production at all, so it's a bit of an out-of-context-problem for me. I came in as a bitwig initiate looking to learn about more about the sampler, and I am definitely taking away a lot of info about how capable it is and some specific things to try. Thanks!

You can use slice to multisample or slice in place instead, or distribute sample offset by setting it to the velocity. There’s a ton of easy workarounds!

@@Alckemy automatic non-destructive treshold slicing?

Processing 🤕

@@Alckemy Thought so. I'll just watch later ;)

1080 is ready, 4K will be a while

Thank you!

Over powered

Yes. The one sampler to take over the world. And raum

@@Alckemy MUAHAHAHA. I love bitwig.

Broken is a modern gaming term for something that is Overpowered/busted/cracked/OP, Though I understand where you're coming from :)

@@Alckemy Yeah I know what ‘broken’ refers too. Be careful is all I’m saying

I’d say you haven’t given it a fair shot. There’s a toggle button to turn off the automation follow lol.

I`m start pick up Bitwig Demo in last 3 weeks . And as ableton users since ver 4 , I can see that Bitwig offer some features which nice to have in Ableton . 1. Operators for anyone who prefer to write midi notes and get more control about randomness 2. Midi thru function without making another track to listen other midi VST tools like scaler or riffer etc , 3. Plugin crash sandbox . Ableton several times makes me redo project from start because the backup can not be restored . And it happen in front of clients ! 4.And the big one for me is easily to swap different Midi controller configuration on The fly without restarting the program . 5. The generic midi with knobs controller which came from bitwig instalattion smartly mapping your 8 knobs into any devices and fx s without bothering doing manual mapping . And the great thing the also showing you the name of parameters, where device macro positions, so we dont too much guessing, especially if you have encoder knobs/pots . Very useful if you`re doing live sound mangling - editing in Live show 6. The lists will go on But I agree about UI especially the theme and color . If they someday releasing the dark theme with monotone icons that will be awesome . Another things is not easy to find Bitwig tutorials which not talking about mangling and glitching and pure randomness . Check XNB or taches teaches , they have cool ways to blend the power of bitwig but still usable in "normal" project wise . And yeah just like the name Simpler in Ableton for chopping vocals etc seem more easy to grasp
