This New Bitwig 6.1 Feature Is Weirdly Powerful

In this video I take a look at the new Sampler features in Bitwig Studio 6.1, especially the new analysis output ports inside The Grid: Onsets, Pitch, and Envelope. These outputs make it possible to use any sample as a source for rhythm, pitch information, modulation, generative patches, glitchy ideas, scale quantization, and even rough pitch correction experiments. I also show some limitations of the current pitch and onset detection, where manual correction would be really useful, and why direct recording into the Sampler would make this workflow much more powerful. 00:00 Intro 00:14 Enabling the new analysis output ports 00:29 Pitch, onset, and envelope outputs explained 00:50 Detecting pitch from a sample 01:28 Recording a sample into Bitwig 02:31 Dynamic pitch detection 02:54 Current pitch tracking limitations 03:58 Onset output and detection issues 05:35 Using sliced mode to inspect onsets 06:10 Why manual onset editing does not persist 07:23 Building a simple Grid patch from pitch and onsets 08:28 Filtering onset triggers with a threshold 09:57 Using the envelope output for volume shaping 10:02 Phase modulating a sine oscillator with the sampler output 11:00 Quantizing detected pitch to a scale 11:48 Quantizing random onsets to the beat grid 13:53 Pitch correcting samples with a second sampler 16:38 Using delay for experimental pitch feedback 18:07 Why recording directly into the Sampler would be useful 19:14 Using loop and spectral modes 22:18 Randomly scanning through the sample 27:07 Combining sampler pitch, scale quantization, and oscillator pitch 27:47 Final thoughts and feature wishes Video transcribed, summarized and Q&A on my Blog (no ads): https://polarity.me/posts/polarity-mu... -- 💕 Support me on Patreon: https://bit.ly/3PgbxZz 💰 donate via Paypal: https://bit.ly/3cae9t8 🎧 my Music: https://polarity.bandcamp.com/ 💾 my Tools: https://polarity.me/posts/articles/20... 💻 my Gear: https://kit.co/polarity/polarity-musi... 👉 Discord:   / discord   👉 Website: https://polarity.me -- 🛒 Buy/Upgrade Bitwig Studio & Support me https://bit.ly/3yQEyDU 🛒 VST/AU Plugin Deals https://bit.ly/3zcvo66
