Time Splitter

by headhunterz for FX Grid

Category: Utility

Bitwig Version: 5.1.6

Discord Avatar of headhunterz
dummy patch

Processing in The Grid is sample accurate. This is especially useful when working with steep modulation envelopes, like with transients. Envelope modules outside of The Grid also have a minimum attack time of 1ms, which makes them unsuitable for razor sharp editing. This patch allows very accurate isolation of a fragment of the incoming signal for separate processing. The dry and wet signal are separated in an FX layer nested in Post FX. All essential controls are mapped to a remote page.

Here's a sample accurate signal splitter I use for FX processing on specific fragments of (in my case kicks) the incoming signal. Envelopes outside of the grid have a minimum attack time of 1 ms and especially when working with fast transients, accuracy becomes important.

Steuert die Lautstärke nicht in db sondern prozentual. Einfacher für Automatisierungen

Percentage based volume control. Instead of dB it ranges from 0-100% while keeping the maximum loudness at 0dB. Especially useful for automation. I tend to overshoot the 0dB when drawing automation curve. This way it wont happen if you use the macro knob instead.

FX Bypass Layer G

by minortom for FX Grid

Category: Utility

Bitwig Version: 4.4.10

dummy patch

Blendable FX bypass (input stage Mix knob). Your FX go into Post FX -> FX Layer -> layer 1, AFTER the DC Offset. Leave layer 2 alone.

A blendable bypass wrapper for FX / Mix knob for the input stage / device version of the Split module. It's awkward because two levels of nesting, it incurs a small CPU hit because Grid, but it sounds good and doesn't suffer cancellation artifacts like the simpler solution I've tried. Maybe others will also agree this is useful and ask Bitwig to finally do it.

Granular Sampler Template V 2

by pike for Instrument Layer

Category: Utility

Bitwig Version: 4.3.10

Discord Avatar of pike
dummy patch

A template to drop in any sample, enable looping and use the remote controls to affect the grain generation, window size and overall adsr. The release of chords is a little funky if not all notes are released at the same time, might be best to use a multinote for chords and only supply mono note input. Note that bitwig support told me this is basically abusing the midi standard, so expect that the audio engine to sometimes break on v4.3.10 at least, lower rate/density seems to break less.

Updated granular sampler template to work around bitwig simultaneous voice behaviour

Envelope Maintainer

by dyzv0r for FX Layer

Category: Utility

Bitwig Version: 4.2.3

Discord Avatar of dyzv0r
dummy patch

This allows you to crush audio with distortion without losing the original dynamics. Add the effects you want in the Add Effects Here container and use the macros to fine tune. Increase Sensitivity if the incoming signal is too quiet. If things are getting gated too hard you can turn down the Env Blend. Final gain is after the envelope but before the Limiter.

This allows you to add heavy distortion while maintaining the original dynamics. Inspired by MPhatik.

Super Separator Demasking

by Shae (Baphy) for FX Grid

Category: Utility

Bitwig Version: 4.2.2

Discord Avatar of Shae (Baphy)
dummy patch

Performs "The Super Separator Trick" (mirrored comb filters) to de-mask two midrange sounds that are fighting with each other for space and clarity. See notes inside the FX Grid itself for instructions and tips.

De-masker that uses The Super Separator Trick, built by Baphometrix in an FX Grid device. Inspired by a Dan Worrall video showing how he does this trick with some unique features of Reaper. This is a really great way to make two competing midrange sounds share the mid spectrum nicely, and to improve the clarity of both sounds. https://youtu.be/Q7BnT3V7Ua4

OB 6 Chain

by 3unned for Chain

Category: Utility

Bitwig Version: 4.2 Beta 3

dummy patch

I don't know if it can be helpful for someone but I am creating some chain presets to control my external hardware synths so I can add modulators faster and easier. This preset is created on Bitwig 4.2 beta 3, so probably it won't work with previous versions. I thought it was a nice idea to share the link for download. The first I did is for Sequential OB6, and you can find it here: https://mega.nz/file/6xJjHCyZ#G9HWJn79n1uBRVnD8OnFZlwym1hwWHJ8V865BFTTnyw The chain includes five pages with the CC parameters mapped on knobs and buttons, subdivided in "VCA Envelope", "Filter", "Filter Extras", "Oscillators" and "Oscillator Extras". It includes also the "HW Instrument" device, so you can place it on a midi track and hear the audio without needing to add it after. Check the midi channel (in my case it's "2" so probably you want to change it according to your setup opening the HW Instrument device inside the chain). I hope it can be useful for someone, since I plan to do more of them. Have a nice day!

Discord Avatar of x.iso
dummy patch

Change seed value to anything between 0-100% (including decimals) to generate a new set of CC values. Set size also affects seed results, it's like accessing different banks of presets ranging from size of 1 preset to 4590. You can dynamically create new sounds and corresponding effects and get back to certain states as any seed value is it's own 'preset'. There's a number of ways to drop a seed value apart from manual selection.

CC randomizer tailored for Generic Knobs controller script, which randomises remote control values in currently selected device. There are few modes for triggering new random values from note input as well as manual seed selection. 4.0 and up required, virtual midi driver as well to send CC's and then reuse in controller script. compared to previous version I've removed accidentally left over note filter which caused input trigs to not pass above C#1 notes, as well as removed remote controls in favour to just Macro modulators in order to avoid feedback loops when device itself is becoming target for randomization. additionally there's a keytrack option for manual seed selection mode, so you could choose seed based on note

Based on an idea by TÂCHES

I made a preset based on sample slicing, it quantises the values so assuming that the loop has a sensible division, everything will be in sync. and instead of the randomizer has bars where you can draw the steps... Drawing a random pattern is almost as fast as pressing a button, and there is no need for the lock buttons.

Rhythmique

by TÂCHES for Poly Grid

Category: Utility

Bitwig Version: 3.2.7

Discord Avatar of TÂCHES

This is a 16 step sample reararranger used to create Microhouse drum patterns from any sample you load into it. Using the individual and group step selector knobs, you can choose what snippet of the sample to assign to each step or step group (downbeat kick, offbeat hat, clap and the 4 weak beats). You can turn steps on or off with the buttons and minimally affect the decay of the hits. Works BEST with the Groove settings on for that rolling Microhousey vibe.

Really proud of this unusual drum sampler for the Grid! Great for making Villalobos style drum patterns 🙂

Micromanager

by TÂCHES for FX Grid

Category: Utility

Bitwig Version: 3.2.7

Discord Avatar of TÂCHES

A handy little device for creating tighter drum rhythms out of loops. Set INPUT to an appropriate level for the Envelope Follower to pick up the transients and then dial in ATTACK and DECAY to taste. The LOW CUT knob will remove unwanted low frequencies, helpful for making top loops out of any loop. The CLAP and HAT knobs let through notes with longer delay on every other downbeat and every off beat respectively to add some longer hits even if you have the whole loops sounding tight as hell. SPACE adds a small amount of reverb to glue it all together a little.

Here's a nifty little tool that will help you create those tight, clicky microhouse/ Rominimal drum patterns a la Ricardo Villalobos/Rhadoo/Petre Inspirescu/Raresh out of any drum loop you slap it on.

7D MPE modulator designed for Sensel Morph (but it should work with other MPE instruments). Apart from standard MPE modulators it has 3 additional modulators for capturing acceleration levels of pressure, timbre and pitch. These values will be bigger the faster you slide or press/release keys. All of them are bipolar, to allow to react to both directions different ways. You can also use additional 0/1 modulator indicating fast key release. This preset is intended to be used as copy-paste template or as a starting point for making MPE enabled devices.

Vinyl Noise to drop onto any track with controls go mix incoming audio signal with noise. Amount blends the "record noise" with the pops and crackles. Audio adjusts the level of the incoming audio signal, and Noise adjusts the level of the noise.

It sounds pretty good, imo. Has a few controls two blend the two noises, and the volume of the incoming audio and the noise as a whole (although there is simply a Mix knob on the FX Grid anyway 👀)
