In this video, I dive into creating unique basslines and custom filter shapes in Bitwig Studio using the Polymer synth and FX Grid. I walk you through how I crafted a classic Drum and Bass reese bassline by combining sawtooth waves, adjusting filters, and experimenting with all-pass filters in the FX Grid to design my own filter shapes. The inspiration came from the versatile filters found in synths like Serum.

Key Points:

I started by setting up the Polymer synth with sawtooth waves, adjusting attack, sustain, and filters to create a monophonic bassline.

I used subtractive synthesis to filter out overtones, resulting in a more interesting bass sound.

In the FX Grid, I combined all-pass filters with the invert module to create custom filter shapes.

I experimented with different all-pass filter configurations to achieve unique effects, like mirror and morph filters.

My approach was inspired by the diverse filter options available in Serum, which motivated me to recreate similar effects in Bitwig.

Creating your own custom filters in Bitwig can be a fun process. It’s also easy and simple. Spice it up with the macro and modulation system, and you’ve got a big pile of options in front of you. In this video, I show some examples with a reese bassline and how you can filter it to get interesting patterns. I’ll probably drop some presets for these ideas soon on my Patreon, so make sure you subscribe there.
