The BITWIG Thread

If I don’t make it in will probably wait 2 years to update again. V4 is not really giving me anything worth upgrading for. 3.3.10 is very solid and massive functionality still yet to learn.

Hey Bitwiggers. Bit of an odd one. When using an arpeggiator on a Grid patch, I can hear a high-pitched transient click/pulse whenever I add a Chebyshev shaper device. The click/pulse happens on each new step of the arpeggiator and I can’t make it go away without deleting the Chebyshev. Is this something fundamental about how Chebyshev distortion works or is it a bug? My patch:

And here’s a short random capture of the audio coming out to illustrate what I mean:

Edit: replaced the audio as I realised I was clipping. Anyway, clipping isn’t the issue. It’s still clicking.

Another edit: it’s got nothing to do with the arp. The clicking still happens at the onset of each note even when I turn off the arp and play notes in manually on a midi keyboard.

Yeah, I’m able to replicate that. It seems like Chebyshev clicks pretty loudly at any incoming gate signal. You can test it by just connecting an AD -> Chebyshev -> Audio Out chain and then playing some notes in via midi or put an arp in front of it in the device chain.

Nice one. So I’m not going mad! It’s been happening ever since I first got Bitwig (early v3, I think) but always thought it was related to my envelopes or something. Anyway, I submitted it to Bitwig as a potential bug. I’ll report back here if I get any response about it.

Do you know how this price compares with their typical end of year holiday sales? I think mine expires at the end of the year, so I’m trying to decide whether or not to pick up the renewal now or then.

From last year but not sure where $100 comes from:

Edit: it was the same deal:

Anyone using a Push 2 with Bitwig? Any good? Worth it coming from a Novation Launch Pad Pro Mk3?

Thanks :slight_smile:

I want to know why you are looking to move from LP pro3. Is that not working for you? That’s a piece I’ve been eyeing to use with bitwig.

It’s working great and I really like it. I was curious about the push with the extra encoders and small screen!

There’s a new version of the DrivenbyMoss extension out as well, so I’ll check that out later.

…ha…i renewed two days before that special offer…paid 159 bux…
but hey, it’s worth it, either way…no fuzz…no doubts…

i’m now all in til august 2022…but i can guarantee already i will also stick to all this at least til august 2023… :wink:

i mean…all i’m missing is more direct pitch detection for audio…audio to midi…
not even in realtime…but would be nice, of course…
