The grid is starting to slowly sink in or maybe I am sinking into the grid lol. Thanks for your patient, clearly explained guides. Following along to these videos has been the best way for me to learn. 🙏💖🙏
In 32 minutes, a beautiful ambient generative piece from scratch. Thanks for all you do. Your tutorials are a godsend for helping me learn the grid. I’ve got a lot of cv modular experience, so the concepts aren’t hard. But i’m not familiar with how it’s implemented in Bitwig so it’s super helpful. 🏆
❤thanxs a lot for diving into bissig for us, I will adopt a few ideas for my own explorations, thank you so much ( by the way I’ll use the lately released mW1 plugin as voice)
Awesome video, like most (or all) of your videos. I recently switched from reason to bitwig and your videos are helping me a lot to gain momentum and retrieve smoothness in my workflow. Still using reason as a rack and the pair is awesome. Now will go deeper in the grid...
Really nice to go from a blank project to a listenable generative project. It seems like there are a few “modules” that are used across projects (e.g., pitch, modulators, Euclidian rhythms). It would be a nice resource to have examples of those on a website or in a focused video.
@@PolarityMusic Yes, right ... and an Db/C# major has an F/E# in it... ;-) I know, I'm a little nitpicky here, but the devil is in the details. Keep up your great inspiring work! 👍
Love all your Bitwig videos and I’m learning a lot . Thank you! wanted to point out the scale you like to use is a Db major without the C so hexatonic scale (6 note scale instead of 7)
polygrid is amazing, im learning bitwig almost everything from you, love to see more polygrid generative patch. im little bit confuse how to use thirdparty synth plugin like u-he diva or NI Massive with polygrid, is it possible? thanks Polarity Music
I did this in some of my videos, cant remember which. I think this live stream, generating techno patterns ruclips.net/user/liveU5bFW9borpY?si=SiX5yX1SJHS4T0_g
Have worked out how to convert the sequencer section into a Note Grid device and record out from there. Good stuff! This video was an excellent intro into the Grid for a new user. Thanks.
Feel like I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around how the S/H LFO and phase stuff works. I've just begun exploring The Grid yesterday. When I messed around on my own I used the Gates module going into the retrigger of S/H LFO. If S/H LFO is set to hold, that generates a new random value on each gate. But to get a repeating sequence, you use the phase in? Does S/H LFO generate a complete "set" of random numbers each time it is retriggered? So by connecting to phase in, you can run through the same set of random values for as long as you want until you retrigger it again? Have patience with me if the answers to my questions should be obvious, I'm a Grid noob lol.
yes you basically got it right. in hold mode, you have a static table of random numbers, that you can access via the phase input. The value of 1,2,3,4,5... into the phase input gives you access to each value cell in the table. it kinda works in the same way as the array module. if you put the lfo back into play mode, the table of values will be updated continously. i guess it works via noise. so noise sampling, putting each value into a cell. if you switch to hold, the noise sampling is frozen.
Can’t you send the s/h signal through the recorder module to be able to capture a signal if you like the melody. Shouldn’t it be persistent between the reloads?
It can. No one stops you from doing this. But im using a sample and hold to persist the pitch while the gate is high. I do this because i dont want to change the pitch while a note is playing, otherwise it would result in small pitch bends on each note... because the pitch changes while the gate is high. I hope this makes sense.
This is easily one of your top 3 grid videos. Fantastic, just so inspring!
🥰
What are the 2 other ones i'm interested to get in the grid now i'm fine with most stock devices i feel i can dig in the grid now
Amazing skills and video. It helped a lot. Thank you!
Amazing.. you are kind to share all this!

Oh my! This is wild! Thank you so much for this! Any way to get in touch with you for a one-on-one talk about Bitwig?
Another great grid(eo) video! Love it ❤
It is insane what you can squeeze out of this grid, keep it coming ;-)

Wow really nice, I really enjoyed how you made with more simple modules. I would loved to see generating some melody to polysynth with NoteGrid
Agreed, there is a wealth of information on the poly grid, but would love more on the note grid.
Thank you for your great work, this video is very informative, I've learnt so much once again!
Ahh, sweet, music to my ears
Hello! your Bitwig content is excellent, thank you very much! of course thumb up everytime, and now I'm channel suscriber.

amazing, i discovered a lot a tools i wasnt aware off, thank you!
So helpful!
Very helpful video, helped me get a lot of new insights grid-wise. Is it possible to record pieces of what i made in the grid, to use them in clips?

This is so good.. Thank you for sharing you great knowledge
🙏
Thank you
@6:57 it is d flat major OR c sharp major.. but never a d sharp minor 😉🙃 Great video! Thanks
Db/C# major has a C/B# in it :D
@@PolarityMusic Yes, right ... and an Db/C# major has an F/E# in it... ;-) I know, I'm a little nitpicky here, but the devil is in the details. Keep up your great inspiring work! 👍

Uh oh, he has a point. According to Wikipedia, "D-sharp minor is a minor scale based on D♯, consisting of the pitches D♯, E♯, F♯, G♯, A♯, B, and C♯."
Another excellent grid tutorial, you are the grid master! How did you manage to figure these techniques out, excellent work :-)
Fantastic video with great results, if I did not already use 2 DAWs you would have sold me Bitwig.
:D what do you use?
@@PolarityMusic Reaper and since a few weeks Ableton Live as well. Bitwig sure looks very good as well.
@@rayderrich just a matter of time 🤷
Reaper and Bitwig is the best of everything

thanks Polarity Music
i wonder if there is anyway that we can trigger the trigger haha so that it changes automatically
I did this in some of my videos, cant remember which. I think this live stream, generating techno patterns ruclips.net/user/liveU5bFW9borpY?si=SiX5yX1SJHS4T0_g
Sounds really cool!
Love it. Gonna try it with Note Grid. How was the piano triggered before you recorded it?
with my midi keyboard :)
I don't think I will ever make sense of what goes in what order!
when this its cool at all but how can i export my song when this thing its well endless in this case
How to record the midi that Grid is making? Great vid, thanks.

Will you ever do a grid course?
all my videos are the grid course :)
Feels like I wasted my money on buying Melody Sauce 2.. nice video!
i feel the same now and then about certain purchases 🤣
And the composition is great btw, do something with it

@@PolarityMusic Thank you! I'm recreating what you did in this video and I've learnt a ton in just the last hour.
Would it be somehow possible to create a synth in the grid with similar sound design and modulation as Moog DFAM ,??
try this (download button below) bitwig.community/preset-DFAM
@@PolarityMusic
I will certainly have a look at this tomorrow.. Many thanks! Really useful interesting stuff you create! Best wishes from London!

Can’t you send the s/h signal through the recorder module to be able to capture a signal if you like the melody. Shouldn’t it be persistent between the reloads?
Ah. With recorder you can only record for one bar, it seems. :(
yes and its not persistent also
@@PolarityMusic oh well. Guess resampling the patterns you like is the only way to save stuff, then. That works, too.
is that a normal thing to follow you as a parrot? or I actually have to understand everything you do?
lost 3 minutes in :(. Could you do a beginner version of this please?
what wen wrong?
At around two minutes 30 seconds I don’t understand why the pitch module can’t go into the wave oscillator? Why do you need gate?
It can. No one stops you from doing this. But im using a sample and hold to persist the pitch while the gate is high. I do this because i dont want to change the pitch while a note is playing, otherwise it would result in small pitch bends on each note... because the pitch changes while the gate is high.
