Just remember to let it go... Yeh i realised this pretty quickly last night when i suddenly thought "oh, that was good, now... to get back to that i just... oh...". So i moved it next to the tape recorder and am capturing everything. & there's something about that I like.

The rest of the listing is talking about what that thing can do, and lists the features. It doesn't say anything about the condition, other than it is "as good as new".

  Had to modify the PS to 115V, because Germany and I am an idiot. But it was easy (break one solder bridge and create two new ones). And now I have to order a 12VAC wall wart for the Dark Time, because same reason. But omfg I am so goddamn excited, synth thread.

Your Dead Gay Son posted:Is the big selling point on bitwig just the isolated plugins and environment? Copying my post from yospos: good things: really neat automation and modulation stuff that lets you do stuff super easy that would be a massive pain in other DAWs if you have plugs that take midi/audio simultaneously, bitwig handles those seamlessly, logic makes them a bit of a nightmare interface is way prettier to my taste midi and clip editor ditto, and there's microtonal editing for the builtin devices which is cool as poo poo they are updating it on a ~monthly basis so poo poo is getting fixed and added with a quickness has a clip launcher view that is a lot like ableton's, but works really well as an old-school DAW bad things: no AU support yet (but they're supposedly working on it) various flavors of idiot poo poo with sustain messages seems to max out resources quicker than any of the more mature DAWs, but really only with some plugins (if there's a pattern there I haven't found it) no video support no time signature changes (tempo yes, but not signature) as I say though, they are updating it constantly so it seems like a lot of the actual fuckups will get ironed out soon. i'm guessing the video and AU support will take longer. on the whole, though, I just really like the flow a lot better than logic's - it feels like it gets in the way a lot less often, and has everything you want exactly where it should be. even with the slightly screwy bits i much prefer bitwig to logic. i'm working in logic today, though, because i'm scoring some poo poo to video. it feels like walking in quicksand, creatively speaking

Seriously though look around Youtube a bit for Bitwig modulation tutorials, there are some pretty insane possibilities. The four big modulator devices are LFO, Step Mod, Audio Mod, and Note Mod. The first two are pretty self-explanatory, but the last two slightly less so. Audio Mod lets you use the volume of any audio track to modulate any parameter(s) of any device in any other track. Want to use your kick drum to modulate the reverb on your strings? Two clicks and you're laughing. Note Mod does the same sort of thing with MIDI note data, so you can use the notes coming from one of your tracks modulate parameters of any effect in any track. The level of sonic fuckery that enables is awesome, and the fact that it's seriously just a couple of clicks to do any of that is what really sells it - if you can think about it, you can do it in a couple of seconds. My one complaint about the automation is that some of Bitwig's promotional material seems to imply that you can modulate MIDI messages themselves (velocity anyway). If you really can, I haven't figured out how. That's a bit of a shame, as it would allow an easy way to use step mod plus some randomness to humanize drum tracks in very flexible ways. Presumably they're working on it, assuming it's not just hiding somewhere in the program.

Oh you can also use modulators to modulate other modulators, so you could for instance have the volume of your audio modulate the depth of the LFO that is modulating the volume of your reverb. Or something. I bet you could make an entire FM synth setup just out of Bitwig's builtin modulation system and a single test tone, if you were spergy enough about it.

JamesKPolk posted:God, thats like a dream come true. The per-note expression stuff is pretty amazing too, but it only works with the built-in instruments at the moment. That allows you to, for instance, play a chord and change a whole bunch of stuff about individual notes within the chord while it's still being held. You could start with a C major chord panned center, and while the chord is still playing move the G to a G# and pan it hard right, move the E to a D and leave it in the center, move the C to a B and pan it hard left. You've morphed from a C major to a Bdim and added a bunch of stereo spread in the middle of the chord, which is pretty drat cool. It requires a bit of work if you want to do a whole song like that, but nothing too bad. That's what I was dicking around with when I made this: https://soundcloud.com/danwarren/microtomal I was only messing with pitch though. The main instrument is just an EP with the attack rolled off and the sustain dialed way up. The upright bass bends were done the same way.

I like Bitwig just because I can use 64 and 32 bit plugins at the same time, I don't even mess around with any of the really cool stuff. The workflow is super straightforward, which is nice.

I've been drooling over Bitwig since it was first announced two-hundred years ago, and with all this talk about it together with the 20% discount and free Bazille (a plugin I beta tested and loved)... I went ahead and finally bought it  I know this isn't really the thread to ask, but since we're already talking about Bitwig here.. has anyone made a survival guide of sorts for people coming from Ableton? I love how they just completely copied a lot of the shortcuts (z and x for transposing an octave, c and v for velocity etc.) but I find myself occasionally pressing a button on reflex and messing up the UI. Also, since no one mentioned it, I'll say my #1 thing with Bitwig: multiple screens. I have two computer monitors, and it's very easy to get distracted (not to mention the waste of space for a mixer, etc.). Utilizing both screens and going fullscreen just makes the workflow so amazingly much better.

Just wanted to mention you've been able to do this for years in Renoise. With the hydra module, the envelope followers, and the LFOs and freedom for any modulation source to effect any parameter of any other plugin you can do crazy poo poo. I made some mad dissonant string sounding poo poo by audio rate modulating parameters on that dbtfx FFT plugin, basically auto rate modulating harmonic shifts in a remix I did for Thierry Massad like 7 or so years ago.

You could also do the same thing in FL. Its biggest strength had been in modulation mapping available early on. If it had MIDI worth a poo poo it'd be a juggernaut, imo.
