Bitwig Studio 302: The Grid Explained And Explored
Thavius starts by loading up a Polysynth module, which uses subtractive synthesis to generate sound. Walking you through the oscillator system, he explains the signal flow through the module including how to mix the two oscillators, using filters to shape the sound, and using the ADSR envelope section to further craft the tone. Later he shows you how the module works in the wider context of the Grid and in the following videos he explains how to go much further with creating instruments and custom setups in Bitwig Studio.
