Learning Resources

Take a crash course on Operators, Comping, Expression Spread and other music production tips.

Check out these three videos from the Bitwig community that we particularly enjoyed – by Polarity, TÂCHES, and Audio Digital.

A quick tour of Bitwig Studio's workflow and possibilities, including sequencers, per-note expressions, controller integration, modulation, a Sampler made for sound design, and a peek at The Grid.

If you are shaping sounds, you are using synthesis techniques. And lucky for us, the Polymer instrument makes it easy on both sides of our brain...

In this tutorial video, Thavius Beck shows the new intuitive Bitwig support for Native Instruments’ Komplete Kontrol S MK2 series...

With the right tools, note editing can be quick and smooth. We'll go from controller setup thru basic editing, including note painting techniques and even display options to focus on MPE and more...

In this workshop, producer and sound designer Venus Theory will demonstrate Bitwig within the context of actual music production.

Each video examines one feature of Bitwig Studio in the context of contemporary production techniques. By pairing each workflow with musical outcomes, the focus stays on real uses and the user.

Für das Imsta Festa 2020 hat Bitwig-Guru Polarity zwei 30-minutige Lernvideos erstellt.

An introduction to, and a deeper look at Bitwig Studio, with Claire Marie Lim.

We’ve recently added support for Maschine MK3, Maschine Plus, and Komplete Kontrol S MK2 series. In two walk-through videos you’ll learn the capabilities of these controller extensions.

Audio clips are the building blocks for arranging music. Learn how audio editing works.

Get a first look of Bitwig Studio 3.3 with our own Dave Linnenbank.

Recording audio in Bitwig Studio works onto the timeline or straight into the Clip Launcher.

Bitwig's Clip Launcher is a realtime companion to the Arranger, but it can also create arrangements in its own right.

Each modern DAW has some kind of linear Arranger and a free-form clip Launcher. What sets Bitwig Studio apart is how the two sequencers can be used together.

A walkthru of Bitwig's flagship equalizer, featuring quick gestures, visualization of reference tracks, and even sidechaining. See your new go-to EQ in action.

Making an audio repeater is so interesting and fun that we build it once in The Grid and once with standard devices.

It isn't always a "happy accident," but when feedback is done intentionally, rich and changing sounds can be found.

Cultural modes, historical tunings, artistic visions, or just reshaping the keyboard — the Micro-pitch device and its included presets unlock worlds of possibilities.

In this tutorial series, we look at universal ideas in sound synthesis and programming.

From loading your own audio to modulation and using different synthesis modes, this series will get you sampling in no time. Any audio file has a kaleidoscope of possibilities with Bitwig's Sampler.

The Grid is Bitwig Studio's modular sound-design environment, made for fun. Get a first glance, learn some new concepts, or just watch as we build things. Bring your ideas, and maybe some popcorn.

This tutorial builds an arpeggiator in The Grid.

In this tutorial, we examine various pitch controls, see how note pitches are used by Polysynth, and create an FX Grid patch that sets the sample rate of audio with incoming note messages.

Watch the video to learn techniques and tricks using software and hardware together.

Dynamically retune notes, import scales and temperaments, find new modes of expression with the Micro-pitch device.

In this demonstration, Bitwig's very own Fredrik Astevall covers setting up Bitwig with modular CV gear.

This tutorial builds a distortion in The Grid.

This tutorial looks at three examples of math in synthesis: making a patch velocity-sensitive, exploring the relationship of low-pass filters and amplitude, and building a looping envelope.

This tutorial builds a sequencer in The Grid.

This tutorial explores phase for driving step sequencers and animating sound inside The Grid.

This tutorial explores basic control signals, a core building block of patching.

This tutorial constructs a basic synthesizer in The Grid.

This recorded lecture explores important topics for constructing synthesizers, adaptive audio effects, and other performable structures.

Whether using included devices or VST plug-ins, sidechaining can make a mix gel and so much more. See how any parameter can be controlled by audio signal, only in Bitwig Studio.

The VST plug-in support in Bitwig Studio is special, let us explain why.

Learn the basics of Sampler in this video tutorial.

Looking at modulation, playback offsets and freeze in Sampler.

Get familiar with Sampler’s Cycles mode, and use it to create complex, musical timbres from any sample.

Exploring the Textures play mode, putting granular synthesis at your fingertips.

Learn about multisample zones, splits, gestures, layers, and the select parameter.

Explore advanced tricks and features for multisamples in Sampler.

Writer and educator Dave Linnenbank gave a synthesis workshop at Superbooth18, looking at looking at modular, analog hardware beside digital phase-manipulation techniques

Take a closer look at the Instrument Selector and FX Selector, powerful tools to build flexible device chains.

Exploring the concept of per-voice (or polyphonic) modulation in Bitwig Studio.

Expand Bitwig Studio's modulation system immensely by cross-modulation, that is: modulating other modulators.

Envelopes and LFOs are only the start. In Bitwig, our 30+ modulator devices can animate any device or VST plug-in. Get the overview, and start using our program-wide modulation system today.
