Pitch Maze! (Patreon)

Today, I'm creating a Generative Patch using Bitwig's Poly-Grid. I'll walk through setting it up, focusing on pitch generation using feedback and modulation techniques. Here's a brief overview and the main steps:

Overview:

Creating a monophonic Poly-Grid.

Using feedback for pitch generation.

Implementing pitch modulation and smoothing transitions.

Adding effects for a dynamic sound.

Steps:

Setup:

Create a new Poly-Grid in monophonic mode.

Add a sine oscillator set to D#3.

Pitch Down Effect:

Use a long delay set to a quarter note.

Apply an LFO to modulate the delay, creating a pitch-down effect.

Blend the original and the pitch-down signals.

Volume Fade:

Use a ramp signal to create volume fades, reducing crackling sounds.

Apply a sine window to smooth the ramp signal.

Extended Delays:

Implement longer delays for richer textures.

Add another delay to create an octave pitch-down effect.

Triggering Envelopes:

Use disrupted pitch signals to trigger envelopes.

Quantize the pitch signal to fit within a scale.

Rhythm and Feedback:

Create a rhythm by combining different delay times.

Use a stereo split to add slight variations between channels.

Effects:

Apply filters to manage overtones.

Add a phaser and all-pass delay for texture.

Use convolution reverb for space and depth.

Final Adjustments:

Tweak phase modulation and add pitch wobble using an LFO.

Apply EQ to balance the final sound.
