Let's build... Unusual Envelopes


Since we understand ADSR, it’s time to mix it up. The road to unusual envelopes could involve different note streams, delaying our triggers, firing at note off, or even using the order of notes for different effects. We’ll even see reasons to go MSEG. It’s time to get less predictable and create new sounds with Bitwig Studio. 🧧⁉️

Contents:
0:00 Knowing the rules means we can break them
2:27 Idea 1: Note Sidechain to envelope parameters from a different track
4:37 Flexible note Repeats on the timeline, via Operators
7:02 Envelopes are really just fades, so why not some second-order modulation?
11:54 Idea 2: AHD on Release, for a little drift when notes end
15:07 Or maybe something synthetic when Sampler notes release
22:06 Idea 3: Ramp to animate a Wavetable…
26:01 … or bigger reverb whenever the transport stops #performance
29:25 Idea 4: Five incredible things about the Segments MSEG…
36:37 …including smoothing, for evolving envelopes
38:34 Idea 5: If the first note goes to the oscillator and all notes go to the filter, we’ve made a throat-singing patch 😮
