Hi, I'm Polarity and do music at home in my small bedroom studio. I record regularly sessions and publish them here. This channel is about my music, various tutorials about Bitwig and VSTs I use and every now and then a VLOG with rants and philosophical thoughts about the music industry.

AU5 Ultracomb but it's Bitwig
Some people on the Bitwig Reddit wanted to know how to recreate the colorful Ultracomb by @au5music in @bitwig . Since we have an All-Pass device available, we can skip one step. We could also just use the frequency split device, but what do I know.

top Bitwig trick I learned in prison
Переглядів 4 тис.4 години тому
To generate melodies randomly, it doesn't take much in Bitwig. It's basically made for this. With 5.2, we have a new way of recording and generating sequences in the Grid. The Shift Register is made for this task and helps you record and playback sequences in different ways!

The Bitwig Grid is awesome
Переглядів 2,8 тис.14 днів тому
In this video, it's about time-based release or attack times of dynamic processors. Sometimes you want to dial in 1/16th notes of releases instead of milliseconds. It's missing in most compressors. I also use this video to build a grid patch to work around this problem for some nerdy reasons, to learn the grid, and to challenge myself.

It's finally here! - Corpus for Bitwig
Переглядів 7 тис.28 днів тому
Corpus from Ableton Live was one of the most requested features people wanted to use in Bitwig. It never really made sense to me because you can just take any peaking bandpass configuration to create a sense of "real-life resonance," use IR convolution, or use short reverbs to create similar effects. But I guess people just like the comfort of something they know. So you can download the preset...

Bitwig 1.3 - Making Music like it's 2014
Late to the party here but I just wanted to chime in and say this is another example of how nesting 3rd party plugins in a Bitwig container can cause unexpected/buggy behavior. I use the Chain device all the time to save a set of plugins/signal flow, but I've gotten into a protocol of after recalling the Chain preset, dragging all the plugins out of the Chain device, then deleting the Chain device, because I feel like I can't trust nested 3rd party plugins to behave correctly 100% of the time.
thanks for new toy!
"but what do I know" is a very modest approach.😂
Your knowledge and skills are amazing. 🤙🙂🏴
It's must have been hard being locked up with Abelton and FL gang members. They don't take too kindly hearing that there are other DAWs out there. Especially better ones
Well... it's kind of close what Au5 at the end. Method is the same but his result is better. Sorry but it's a truth. But your work is a good starting point for sure!
Hm, I don't seem to have the All-Pass (non-delay) device available in Bitwig 5.1; is that a beta feature?
It is a beta feature yeah
allpasses are so cool
You Sir are an effing legend!
yesyesyes 👍👍
Thanks for explaining how everything was built in the beginning! Very helpful
I thought to re-create it too, but you did it faster! Thanks very much!
Usual excellent standard! One point though *The simple 'delay' (any of the delays) in GRID are only restricted to as low as sample rate if there is a feedback loop patched.
I was going to mention this. But only the long delay is restricted to go only as low as the buffer size and then only when it is in a feedback loop. All other delays will work as indicated, even when they are part of a feedback loop. The thing is that the long delay is the only module that allows feedback routing.
@@AudioDigital Dude we miss your vids! Post vids again.
@@konskift Hopefully sometime soon.
A rare @@AudioDigital appearance. You rock mate.
You are such a blessing to the Bitwig community. Thank you Polarity!
DeadM ........ Au5
Cool! Now let’s do it in Zebralette 3 😅
Thank you so much for doing this!
Cool.
It was only a matter of time 😅 Thanks!
when i saw the ultracomb video yesterday i was going to recreate it in bitwig myself but then i thought: "polarity will probably do it soon enough" lo and behold...
yesss
Great, gonna try this ! (Disclaimer this does not seem to work with the newest beta as they changed the installer.. found the bitwig folder in the WindowsApp folder in program files but you get a bunch of authorisation denied errors)
Glad you out of the prison again, but I doubt it is a good idea to instantly pull the trigger 🤣 But anyway: great video 🚀
the shift register reminded me of the bastl kastle ;)
here midi capture would be nice to keep the melody ^^, (its already on the bitwig wishlist)
Keep smuggling these videos out of the pen and we'll keep your commissary topped up.
what did you do to get sent to prison?
Watch the previous video.
making me want to break out my Future Retro Zillion, which is a small MIDI sequencer based around a shift register. I have serial number 2, the first they sold to the public which is kinda neat :D
This is awesome. I was wondering how to add randomized rests to the sequence?
If you were in an American prison you’d have to join a gang to survive. What would it be for you: Grid Cripps? Polymer Bloods?
Bitwig Hools, FL Banditos
A saw wave may come in handy Robert. 😎
Came for the prison shower stories, stayed for the groovy Bitwig tips!
That title is a sequel from the last video? xD
It Would be great to have an updated 2024 version of this video, stock devices only. Having a hard time emulating classic synths with Bitwigs stock synthesizers. V-Collection is too expensive 😢
i think this is good for recording to separate channel. I created this very unique sequence which i really liked but then poly grid kind of defaulted its state when opening / saving project - you need to record melody AGAIN to actually get the sound working (hard to explain but basically just try to generate something save and close and open the project you will know what i mean)
yes, the data in the shift register is not saved with the patch/project.
Wild development. Was this on the fly? Impressive, both your creativity and the grid's capabilities.
I chuckled.
genius as always, love the simplicity and slickness of shift register recording method
1:28 sounds like a shjte NES game
“You are in prison. If you wish to get out of prison, the first thing you must do is realize that you are in prison. If you think you are free, you can't escape.” ― G.I. Gurdjieff
One day 5.2 will be released ... seems like forever. I'm not putting Betas on my main system any more. I need to fix my #2 system so that I can play with these Beta toys.
Fantastic, I've been looking forward to getting stuck into the Note Grid to make my own custom arpeggiator patterns, and melody generation was going to be next on my list of things to try, and this is a great intro guide, thanks!
I love these tutorials, but also would like to hear the problem statement and practical application up front that these devices solve for. When I watch them I'm always thinking "okay what will this eventually be used for in music making?" But maybe I should also read the description too... 😬
the problem is, there is no problem in music making anymore. everything is solved for years, kinda. Whats left is exploring options, fun, toying around. These video i do, are more like inspiration and ideas how to approach things.
@@PolarityMusic I think we're saying the same things but misunderstanding each other. When I see a device like the melody generator, I think the video would be more effective to viewers if you said at the beginning of the video "One time I wanted a device to generate simple melodies for me in key, so here's how I built one..." I think a new viewer would think it's more interesting because they already know what your goal is. Otherwise new viewers might have a hard time following along with the journey you're taking them on since they don't know where you're leading them, and end up skipping to the end to see what the finished device is first, and then backtracking to see how and why you built it.
I can´t even check out your videos anymore because I dont know what its about and if I click on it and then leave again because there is no info and I leave after 1 min you get bad "watch trough rate" and lower ranking. Therefore I rather not click on it to not spoil your stats.
thats very nice of you 🥰
Same. There's good info in some of these videos that I find valuable, but the lack of topical titles causes me to regularly skip to a few spots for a few seconds, then exit. This is not what a content creator wants their viewers to do. It's objectively bad for the retention algorithm, and I'm not TRYING to have a negative impact on the channel. I'd like to support it overall, but this is not a good strategy. It's like all the garbage I could do with unrelated hashtags, etc. to gather low quality followers on social media. It may boost vanity metrics, so it may seem like it's helping in the short term if you're hawking the analytics, but it actually decreases engagement for the core demographic and decreases brand value overall.
I think jump of rate is more important than engagement of commets etc.
I think the description is pretty clear, no? Anyway as conscientious of you as that is, I would say it's Polarity's problem if he chooses obscure titles and there's a knock-on effect on stats, he seems to be having fun with them so I wouldn't worry too much :-)
Overthinking it much?
loooool :))))
watching this from prison and i'd love to recreate it. sadly, they took my license.
✌🏻🚀😎😍😂
🤣 🤣🤣
title management goes wild 🙂
So good
cool 😎
nice title to get clicks, lol
its also very fun for me to get creative with it 😂
