Bitwig's video: Modular Concepts: Musical Maths Bitwig Studio The Grid

While math is everywhere in sound synthesis, it doesn't always ask for attention. This tutorial looks at three examples: making a patch velocity-sensitive, seeing how low-pass filters relate to amplitude, and using comparators to make a looping envelope. By lifting the veil on a few simple ideas, take The Grid (and any modular environment) to a new level. NOTE: Project file with snapshots and bonus content available here - https://www.bitwig.com/learnings/modular-concepts-musical-maths-88/ Contents: 0:08 - Math: it's all around us 1:10 - Logical functions too 2:05 - Task 1: Velocity as an amplitude control 3:24 - Level Scaler for range 4:03 - Using decibels is nicer 4:32 - Task 2: What is a low-pass filter? 5:45 - LPF makes things slow… 6:22 - …now we can slow other signals 7:20 - Lag is a filter set in time 7:55 - Task 3: building a looping envelope 8:43 - Talk thru how this should work 9:13 - When the envelope reaches zero… 9:48 - …AND the note is still held, retriever 10:39 - Details, like routing feedback… 11:10 - …merge the triggers with OR… 11:57 - …and short logic signals help OR work 12:50 - It loops!
