This tutorial made me want to get Bitwig LOL. Very nice. I love the way you explained everything in detail and didn't simply just gloss over the small bits. Most would assume folks knew what they were talking about and end up leaving people behind due to lack of detail. You didn't do this! Thanks again for another great post.
Trae McCombs thanks a lot for your kind feedback. Yes, I thought since some of my tutorials are quite advanced and with many topics I wanted to step back and make a more focused tutorial on one device and explain it a bit lighter. Happy to see you!
How to use Bitwig Tutorial - Polysynth Device - The Basics. In this video we explore the Polysynth Device of Bitwig. I explain the features of the plugin and take you through synthesizing some simple sounds. If you are new to Bitwig, you will discover how to make sounds in Bitwig. Polysynth has evolved since previous Bitwig versions, and we now have some serious sound shaping capabilities with things like wave shaper, and osc mix variations....and some FM. ☀ Please let me know if you have any questions or comments on the video. ☀ I want to tailor and craft this channel to bring you the best possible creative production videos and tutorials. Thanks for making this happen! Kindest regards, Mattias Holmgren @ Morningdew Media This video is supported by my AWESOME Patrons.

Been testing Bitwig for about a week now, and ABSOLUTELY will be buying it today from Guitar Center here in Dallas, Tx. Have been using Abelton for a long time, but Bitwig solved the crashing issues with the sandboxing ect.... My only issue is as I am playing with the demo, and I load a 32 bit synth the sound is distorted, but not with 64 bit synths. Not sure what it is, but it didn't crash Bitwig. I'm on a Windows 10 quad core 64 bit machine by the way. Great tutorials as well... I'm ready for the full version. Thanks

This is a great tutorial Mattias. You have. A great way of explaining the complexities of Bitwig and have many hints and tips mended in your videos. Always worth watching these for anyone who is unsure if watching bother Bitwig tutorial. Thanks again Mattias 👍
Hey! 🌞 Glad you enjoy my Bitwig Studio content Iain! Always appreciate feedback on the videos I post! It means a lot! Trying to pack as much goodies into the clips as possible without going overboard. 😋Thanks Iain!
Thanks, Mattias, so nice basics guide! Just thought of returning to play a little more with Polysynth to know it better - and here's your video, in the proper moment :) Thank you!
Hey, wow quite the jump there in Bitwig versions. Yeah, many features were added and I hope you find the 2.4.2 update exciting. Glad to hear you find this little basic walkthrough informative. Thanks for your feedback Chris, see you around!
Boris, indeed it's a very swift synth to get some simple sounds going. And when you start using Instrument Layers and layer Polysynth with samples and the other Bitwig Devices things really start to roll! Happy to see you around, and good to hear from you! =)
I am very grateful for your videos. You said something at 8.29/8.30 about a section. I could not really understand the word you said before you said section. I am sorry, and if possible can you please tell me what you said in your reply. I think it is the button next to the velocity button. I really would appreciate your reply, and your videos have helped me a lot. Many thanks.
Happy to hear you enjoy my videos. In the small buttons: First (left) you have the Amp Velocity (vel input from the keyboard). Second(right) is the overall Gain knob. Then the bigger button below is the master Output (Volume) for the device. Hope the info helps. Thanks.
yet another great tutorial. Thanks!! I have one question, when you have made your sound in the polysynth, how do you save that setting as a new preset?
Hi thanks. Just drag the device over to your browser panel at the right side. A popup will appear where you can enter meta-data. Remember if you want all your sub devices to be saved with the preset, make sure they are "chained", put in the FX slot of the polysynth. I did a video on this because its not that obvious how you get a complete "set" of devices saved in One preset. I also sometimes put them all in a Chain device or instrument layer container depending on what I want to do. Did that work out for you? //Mattias
Hehe, yeah the 3xosc is cool. Sometimes I miss triangle and pure sine in the Polysynth. But then again there are of course other devices in Bitwig handling such, like Phase-4, Organ... and FM-4. A native wavetablesynth like Ableton would be cool. But we got Serum, Omnisphere and Massive for that ;) Thanks for watching David!!!
I dunno, I make music in many keys, it doesn't matter. Some keys work better with my voice though. ;) But I never think about the actual hertz value, except when working with sub-bass / kicks.
At 3:20 you say "So let's first add some notes so we have something to work with while we are exploring the Polysynth." Suddenly I have no idea what's going on. Somehow you create a blue rectangle in the Polysynth track. What is it? How does it relate to adding notes? How is it created? There's knowledge expected here that I just don't have.
I suggest you watch the Bitwig Basics series if you are having trouble with the basics in Bitwig, I created it as a helping course and tool for newbies - ruclips.net/p/PLPJ-00ycrK4DnDlhhb973CuJz_2vDlJ9u
Hi Jesse, 1. Press the device name (Polysynth). Now you get info on the device in the left inspector. 2. In the inspector for Polysynth device set the Voices to 1 = mono. 3. In the Polysynth devcie parameters, bump the glide to 30ms. 4. Press the little "L" button besides the Glide param if you want "Legato mode". 5. Glide n slide. ;)
Yeah Consolidate is a very convenient function to know. It’s merge indeed. ;) Hi again Matt, what’s cooking? Looking forward to see you in the stream today!

I’ve never been able to persuade Polysynth to do anything interesting. But you’ve inspired me to try again! Nicely done!
Dale H. Emery thanks, yeah it’s worth going over a few times. Very fast to work with for basic sounds. Thanks for your feedback Dale!
Thank you so much!!!
You are welcome Dennis!
This is a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world
My pleasure Daniel! Happy to have you onboard my channel!
Very Useful Mattias

Alexey Chernov you know it Alexe. ;) Glad you liked the video! Thanks!
How helpful, I've just updated to 2.4.2 from v1, so this will help get to grips with the new-look Polysynth. Thanks!

Thank you so much, I learned a lot from this clip. You're easy to follow and make learning fun! :)
Thank you Hendrik! Appreciate the kind feedback! The Bitwig devices are really powerful, especially if you dig into the matrix (read: modulation)
I'll keep on digging then! :) @@MattiasHolmgren

Mattias Holmgren thanks so much Mattias, I haven’t seen that Video of you yet. But I will :)
The chain device Flow is explained in detail in this video ruclips.net/video/azd73YmOw2k/видео.html Please comment if it was helpful. 😉🌞
Thanks Mittias. The polysynth intuitively difficult for me. I'm used to 3xOsc from Fruty loops.
Hehe, yeah the 3xosc is cool. Sometimes I miss triangle and pure sine in the Polysynth. But then again there are of course other devices in Bitwig handling such, like Phase-4, Organ... and FM-4.

Hello ! How did you created that midi clip with fade in line ( I can see the midi is not square at the start )? thank you
Hi Szymon, that's not a fade-in on the midi clips. It's probably an "old" design in Bitwig Studio 2. This is one of my older videos from 2018. 🌞
@@MattiasHolmgren Thank you Mattias :) Best regards

Are you able to make your music in a certain hertz ?
I dunno, I make music in many keys, it doesn't matter. Some keys work better with my voice though. ;) But I never think about the actual hertz value, except when working with sub-bass / kicks.
@@MattiasHolmgren thank you for replying I just started my nusic making journey..it is endless and awesome. Enjoy your channel
Happy to have you onboard my Channel. Keep rockring and Let me know if you have further music production or composition questions. Thanks!

Yo, am i blind? How do i adjust mono/legato...i want them slide notes to roll it.
Hi Jesse,
1. Press the device name (Polysynth). Now you get info on the device in the left inspector.
2. In the inspector for Polysynth device set the Voices to 1 = mono.
3. In the Polysynth devcie parameters, bump the glide to 30ms.
4. Press the little "L" button besides the Glide param if you want "Legato mode".
5. Glide n slide. ;)
So consolidate is merge. Noted.
Yeah Consolidate is a very convenient function to know. It’s merge indeed. ;) Hi again Matt, what’s cooking? Looking forward to see you in the stream today!
