BITWIG GRID 101

Bitwig Grid 101 is a 9 hour course that will take you from total beginner to masterfully crafting your own evolving, generative patches in no time at all.   

Throughout the course, I’ll be walking you through how to best navigate The Grid device itself, as well as diving into the fundamental concepts that make up modular synthesis.  

Then we will be breaking down all of my favourite utility, pitch, gate, and randomness modules for creating magical soundscapes as well as looking at some tips and tricks I have for keeping things looking neat and tidy.   

Finally, we’ll build a number of more advanced patches, putting into practice all the concepts we looked at throughout the course.   

If you’ve been waiting for an excuse to finally get started with modular synthesis in The Grid then look no further. With Bitwig Grid 101, It’s time to get creating!

What People Are Saying:

There is a lot of content here and it is produced with the high standard of TÂCHES's youtube tutorials, which is very high. He is very clear, and the lessons are easily understood but also convey both a deep understanding of Bitwig and the amazing clarity and consistency of how Bitwig is put together.

I have been watching TÂCHES' videos about The Grid on YouTube for a few years now but didn't have the basics down of how it actually worked. This was an incredibly comprehensive course that sells itself short being called Bitwig Grid "101" as it builds into some rather advanced territory towards the end.

I can't recommend this course enough for anyone keen to undertake the daunting task of learning to use The Grid. TÂCHES is a very gifted teacher and is also quite delightful to listen to.
