An easy, airy additive synthesizer. There is almost no setting that doesn't work, while you can produce unique, rich and sometimes slightly dented sounds. By default it pulls many stereo tricks and has a very wide image. The rich overtones make it very present, but you can tone it down so it plays nicely in the background.

The overtones create a randomized moving shape, you can change the amount with the Moving knob. The overtones are slightly panned and moving in the stereo image, controlled by the Spread knob. If you turn the Random knob down, the shape of the overtones repeats and becomes deterministic. Turn it all the way up for maximum blessings from the god of Dices.

The main sound-shaping comes from Skew, Fold, Detune and Follow. If you know the Poly Grid these are no strangers to you. Just twist those knobs, you'll get the hang it easily.

Then there is your standard envelope-controlled, key-tracked low-pass filter and a Multinote device playing a fifth for maximum richness.

Change the mode of multiple tracks with one global track. The keys notes C,D,E,F,G,A,B (0,1,2,3,4,5,6) select the mode-shift using Bitwig's Key Filter device. The device Note Mode Output is placed in the global mode-track. It sends the mode via MIDI-CC 20. In the tracks you want to change the mode, you place the Note Mode Input device in front of the instruments. You have to open the chain of Note Mode Input and select the global mode-track.

There is also the Note Mode Shift-preset which allows you to automate the mode-shift locally in one track.

When using the Note Mode devices it is helpful when an octave wraps around, so shifting the mode does not pitch the melody or chord too high. If you are shifting chords, you can think of Note Modulo as inversions.

There is a submodule containing General MIDI Drums. These are converted from a open General MIDI soundfont. The licensing of the orginal work applies.

Get the submodule with

git submodule update --init --recursive
