Udemy – Making Music in Bitwig: Sound Design in The Grid

I’ll take you all the way from creating the basic components of any synthesizer to advanced sound design and modulation techniques, covering a variety of topics such as oscillator types, envelopes, filters and flexes, modulation and CV signals, ring and amplitude modulation, phase and frequency modulation, hard sync, bi-loop synthesis, pitch manipulation, arpeggiator creation, grid logic and de-ringing troubleshooting and more.

Almost every lesson has an exercise at the end to help you dig deeper into the concepts discussed. I’ve designed them to start out fairly simple and get progressively more challenging. They’re all pretty easy, but I want to challenge your brain a little bit. After all, you’re here to learn how to create your own instruments and FX and gain the confidence to explore on your own.
