And this is what I call an awesome Drum Machine tutorial. SUB!
Love that you are using Bitwig now, keep the videos coming.
Great way of organizing the drums with a multisampler. Thanks for sharing 🌻
about the separation, cells can be dropped to the tracks area directly which creates new drum instances only with the cell and its triggering notes, handy stuff
I did not know that... you learn something new every day :)
@@MarulaMusic :) btw. after the separating, the different MIDI clips still can be handled/edited together by dropping them into a group container and clicking on the newly created group/meta clip, so BWS has similar workflow as Cubase/GA ( - shared copies /clips)
A technical criticism: 95% of this video is displaying a white block that is the arranger page covering 80% of the screen. Essentially turning all the action on screen into a 144p demonstration. Zoom the device line!
trying to get more into using bitwig, your videos and music are awesome
Just migrated to Bitwig from Studio One, and this tutorial helped me a lot (even beyond the specific drum machine in question, just getting a better sense of the track architecture of this DAW).
Thanks so much!:)
If you make a "sample selection" remote controls page with knobs connected to the sample selection, you can combine this with the Randomizer extension to play with random kits (it has a button for randomizing all parameters on the current page)
I liked the tutorial, but could you please increase GUI scaling a bit in the future? It's pretty hard to see what is happening on small displays (like mine)
people who have huge monitors seem to have this trouble. His screen is prob 4k or more.
Yup. I see more and more of this. Decreasing the screen resolution before the screen recording will make a video like this a lot more enjoyable.
@@Trk-El-Son Bitwig Studio has scaling solution built-in (right-click on the logo at the top and increase GUI scaling size :))
@@KutAnimus Ah yes! That would make it even easier for the RUclipsrs.
thanks again for the great upload
This was so helpful, thank you!
great video! thank you
Fantastic tutorial! Using the sampler for auditioning samples is genius 👌 please do increase the GUI for future videos 😅
Great info and video. Keep the tips coming. Considering it's a container you can use any samples, like vocals which you can get really creative with. Didn't know about the Sends. Thanks!
Hi, whats also pretty cool is drop an Arpeggiator before the Sampler in a Pad. So you can go pretty strange with one key stutter or something.
Also you can go Tonal and set an Arpeggiator in front of the whole Drummachine, when u drop Tonal Samples into it.
Literally just started watching this but what's nice is you enter notes via piano roll so you can tune all your drums.
Versus audio event and the pitch option
subbed !
Thanks buddy, I've been binge watching your tutorials as well!
There is a plus button on the drum pad to add whatever you want.
I wish the drum machine would let you randomize samples, but I guess then they'd need an AI that can identify the different drum sounds. I found that using the instrument selector made the process much easier to set up. You can literally just drag in the samples and trigger the C1 note using the note transpose device. Set up a macro to move between the different samples. Also it was very CPU friendly even with 100s of samples as I think Bitwig doesn't run the devices not selected.
I wish you could put multiple pads into choke groups at once , instead of having to do them one by one
how to send to/from external plugin signal. for example addictive drums kick - to pad of bitwig drum machine?
I'm not sure you can do multi outs from a plugin to different pads, but you can just load up addictive drums on a single pad and set the root key to trigger the kick.
How can you put an arpeggiator to each individual pad is that possible
Each pad is essentially a channel, so you can put whatever you want on it. Arp, modular grid patches, synths, samples, whatever.
you should mke the gui bigger...
Wow.
The only thing I miss switching to Bitwig from Ableton is Drum Buss and the note repeaters and randomizers. Any equivalents to those?
Drum bua, not exactly... Note repeats are in the note fx section, and its amazing. Randmisation can be done on anything either in the grid or with random s&h modulators.
Busses work a little differently in Bitwig. Just group all your drums, and the container becomes the drum bus.
Also, for a track with just the drum machine on it, if you go into the mixer view, you'll see a double arrow at the top right of the drum machine column. Clicking that opens up every cell of the drum machine in its own column, so you can manage individual volume levels, effects sends, etc. Any return effects you add to the drum machine itself also show up as sends in each drum cell column as well.
Bitwig had loads of note devices that affect midi, just add them before your sample/instrument in the respective pads and they’ll alter the sounds coming out as long as you have the midi coming into the device from a clip or another track.
Also drum buss is nothing but an over the top parallel compressor/saturator, can easily be made in bitwig. If those are the only thing you miss from ableton you’re lucky because that and more is possible here. Bitwig is missing some other basic daw features that can’t be replicated here from other daws in any way, hope those QOL changes are added.
Rick is right music is easier to make becuase of the new tools. Thats a good thing. That is why we have HipHop, those kids could not afford an instrument or music lessons, but a sijmple sample and sample drums from their favorite songs and they made their own bands. Technology is great, go with the flow and dont be resistant to change.
