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

Learn to create your own sounds and instruments in Bitwigs Poly Grid. I’ll take you all the way from creating the basic components of any synth 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, bicyclic spoke synthesis, pitch manipulation, arpeggiator creation, grid logic and troubleshooting, and much 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 fairly simple and get progressively more complex. They’re all very easy, but I want to challenge your brain a bit. After all, you’re here to learn how to create your own instruments and FX and gain confidence in your abilities.
