- "DRIV is a device that will guide you through an unexpected harmonic journey. A complex sequencer enhanced by multiple independent playheads." Now available in Bitwig Studio as a preset. Something similar i build a few years ago with "fugue machine": • Fugue Machine - using ... You can download DRIV for Bitwig here: bit.ly/4eF7X8p

This has to be possible inside Drambo. What do u think?
Can't wait until the grid gets a UI construction kit. I think that would be the next big revolution in Bitwig development.
Already has one and it works very well.
@@robbmonn What do you mean it already has a UI construction kit? I dont know of anything like that, i would like to learn more.
@@IIgabeIII think they're confusing either the Grid itself or the instrument strip capabilities with what you're asking for.
I hope so. That’s my number one feature request, for sure.
This, along with a lower-level integration of the Grid would surely win over alot of Ableton/M4l enthusiasts.
when he said 'yeah..pretty simple, straight forward' my soul left my body
😂
Converting popular Ableton devices into BitWig is always a nice thing to see! Thanks Polarity !
Holy cow! This is absolutely incredible! I use A LOT of generative music in my workflow and this looks like such a blast to use. Thank you!!!!
EDIT: Seeing how you can route out different channels is absurd. My mind is going crazy with the possibilities. AND this is free. You are truly something else. Thank you again!
You are awesome Robert -- thank you!
the Prometheus giving us light again, thank you Robert so much
As someone brand new to Bitwig, I am so grateful to see what you share. Your grid experience is always so bountiful and insightful. Thank you for your videos!
Absolutely wonderful!!! Thanks!!
Look forward to playing with this when 5.2 get's its official drop.
This is like a fugue machine. Dash glitch covered something like it too. Great job brotha
Also, I know you’re using curve to control the direction but is that attached to an attenuator? Still not sure how you’re getting it to move backward
yea i did a video on fugue 3y ago also. To playback in reverse you just use a reversed ramp (ramp down)
Is there any possibility u can show how to build this in Drambo? Loong shot i know but if u did that would be legendary
@@Pogi-fo1dz it’s actually very easy to do
this is excellent!! thanks so much for making it, explaining it to us, & then offering it to us for free!!
This is awesome man. Thank you for making it.
Hä?!
Hatte dich noch nicht abonniert…🤨
Hab das natürlich sofort nachgeholt!
Danke für den Download!
Thank you very much for the free download! 👍
I'm just glad that we bitwig users do not live in a world, where we pay 700 bucks for our DAW just to be allowed to pay more money on DAW exclusive devices like this one. oh and not to forget.... Reason Rack Extensions, anyone?
good lookin out bro 👊
Great :) Thank you very very much
Great video! I love having more ways to generate melodies.
basically this is the Fugue machine concept. long time ago in vcv rack btw...
Came to the comments to see if this was here. I'm surprised anyone would be excited by DRIV, given that Fugue Machine and apps/plugins like it have been out for years and years.
1) Fugue Machine is iOS only.
2) Not everyone has VCV Rack.
🤷🏻♂️
i mean bach did it 200 years ago, and vcv rack is digital clone of a modular a synth which concepts are around for 60years. Nothing is new, everyone discoversa and re-discovers stuff all the time. Everything we do today was already done in one form or another, every new plugin was already done before in a different way.
@@rollyhustle I Just talk about that is nothing new.
UNREAL
Awesome. Du bist ein meistermind :) Thanks, You rock!!!!
😃
Mega cool 💯🚀😎
awesome
Well done. I might try to alter it to make it work more like an arpeggiator.
this seems to be similar to Fugue Machine for iOS
I was thinking exactly to the same. Not a bad thing anyway. I loved that app when I was into iOS music production.
Awesooooooooooome!
Fugue machine for PC??
I'm still a noob with Bitwig (I have used FL Studio). I never used Ableton and instead I am very much loving the fact that Bitwig's Grid is similar to Reaktor. I'm probably going to be spending a lot of time in this channel gleaming insights.
That being said, I was never too enthusiastic about sequencers inside my sequencer. I always felt like the out-of-box DAW sequencer and automation lanes should be able to take care of everything. I felt the same thing about sequencer based Reaktor modules when I first checked them out. However, there is something to be said about a sequencer hardwired to specific articulations -- sort of psychologically helps organize the sound design. Don't get me wrong, I think it is really cool that this can be done, it simply seems redundant outside of Tangerine-Dream-like ostinatos. Am I bonkers, out of touch, or thinking too much in the box?
It make sense to me. I think this kind of sequencer are good for starting ideas or live improvisation.
When I use external sequencer I usually send the midi OUT to another track and record the notes for further adjustments.
@@Centomila I've never used a DAW as a live improv tool outside of MIDI-sandboxing (maybe I'm behind in my terminology and we're thinking the same thing). I suppose it does make sense if you think of sequencers like the TB-303 or similar drummachine workflows.
However, once I create a repeating pattern in the piano-roll, then I just repeat it x amount of times in the arrangement. Then I feel like I can use automation lanes with broad strokes till my heart's content. If I need to frankenstein a piece of that sequence to another synth, I simply copy-pasta and manage more automation lanes for that different part.
I still think I might be missing something. I'm simply describing how I have a bizarre instinct to try to herd everything into the existing DAW's piano roll by default. One could say: *"you're going to stupendously repeat that pattern block anyways, so what's the problem?"* But I always find myself afraid that I need a fill ( *what-if* mode, and I often take advantage of a piano roll's flexibility to make a quick fill or variation).
@@brianbergmusic5288We are on the same page. What I was trying to say is that I occasionally use this kind of tools to generate the first loop. After I use the Daw sequencer like you described.
In the end, the important thing is having fun and making music. It doesn’t matter if it’s with a piano roll, a plug-in, a tracker or launching a cat on a MIDI keyboard :D
This was made in 5.2 beta - will it work in the 5.2 official release?
Yes. He said that because projects can't be opened with previous versions (Like 5.1). This is a BWPRESET tho. Maybe works anyway.
yes!
i don't know how to fix the issue when you increase the step size to max (to fill whole 16 step pattern) - voice 1 always gets stuck on first note and does not progress.
ill look into it later. fix incoming :D
Nice gem Polarity! One problem: If i stop play in Bitwig 5.2b8 DRIV didn't stop and plays crazy (Free-run is off)
ill look into it. fix incoming soon :)
Is it only for bitwig 5.2+ ?
if it is not then where exactly do you put the preset in windows 11 ?.
I'm currently using Bitwig 5.1.9.
I am due to update my licence next month, some £££ issues this month.
Thanks !
i think the library directory is still in the same place. or drag and drop the preset into Bitwig. And yes it works only in 5.2 upwards.
@@PolarityMusic Ahh ! Thanks for clearing that up.
I thought I was going mad.
I didn't know it would drag & drop. I'll try it again when I've updated my license.
You're a blessing for us Bitwig users : )
@jaderington I'm a novice, imagine how confused I was.
@@unkleskunkyWell most of us are novices compared to Polarity the Bitwig Boffin.
He replied so he's clever and kind.
We might always be a novice....
The Bitwig license is on a sale atm until August, fyi.
Its useful to have !
@jaderington I'm all in. I haven't fooled with the beta. I can wait, I was feeling silly not knowing how to install but turned out it wasn't meant to be on 5.19. Oddly I got no error except when I tried the drag and drop. A question, do presets such as what Polarity gifted us with always go in the library, or does it belong in its own folder?
How embarrassing €29/49 for something you can build in the Grid in a couple of minutes.
What's your problem? Actual thought went into a creative product with nice UI design and programming in m4l is time intensive. Nothing embarrassing about that.
@@touarec I have no problem if people want to throw away money. I just don't indulge greedy business practices. It's really not complicated and wasn't even coded from the ground up. Polarity builds much more impressive stuff.
@@paradoxic1888how much did you pay for Bitwig? It's not exactly a fair comparison.
I understand the sentiment, but let me put it another way: time is money; so is skill. Some folks lack the technical knowledge, and the time to put something together that is an aesthetic afterthought (but functionally performs the same job). Ableton did that for Ableton customers: they created a modular sequencer plug-in that is aesthetically complimentary for their product(s) and can be immediately used by even a braindead guitarist/bassist/drummer (which I can say since I do play guitar,).
It's even less 'embarrassing' due to how Ableton does not have "The Grid" as Bitwig customers do. However, if they are not willing to switch to Bitwig, Ableton can run VSTs. That leaves these three alternative options (than purchasing DRIV) that immediately spring to my mind (I'm sure there are others):
1.) Buy Reaktor (and learn how to use it).
2.) Use VCV Rack (free), which I am not sure how well it can be automated since I have yet to tinker with the Euro-Crack simulation.
3.) Create your own VST sequencer plug-in (which may require C/C++ skills unless you invest the time to learn a high level tool similar to today's version of SynthEdit).
Personally, I've made some purchasing decisions that I've later regretted. Sometimes you also buy tools that makes previous tools either obsolete or redundant. On the other hand: there are also some plug-ins that may be functionally redundant on paper, but the creative process yields some results quicker than out-of-the-box thinking with your existing plugs (time is indeed money). One thing is indeed very clear: becoming "powerusers" with your existing tools is far better than buying every tool with limited time to pressure test each one, and OP is correct to defend such a thesis (which is also what this channel is all about).
That’s a little undermining. Polarity can do it in minutes, we can’t. There’s a lot of work and design that goes into these that you get to reap the benefit from thanks to creators.
And if you are in fact that good at the grid I’d love to see you recreate it from scratch :)
