Creative Patching Techniques with Bitwig Studio, featuring The Grid

This lecture explores important topics for constructing synthesizers, adaptive audio effects, and other performable structures. Using Bitwig Studio 3's The Grid, we cover fundamentals of The Grid, modular patching ideas that are universal in application, and then a couple examples that unite a technical function with a musical outcome. While we are using The Grid for this demonstration, the concepts at hand are as universal as modularity itself. And if you are using Bitwig Studio 3, please download the session which has timestamped snapshots from the presentation so you can follow along with patches. https://bit.ly/creative_patching 2:20 - What is The Grid?
