The Note FX devices in Bitwig Studio 4.1 can manipulate MIDI notes in various creative ways, generating new musical material out of simple ideas, creating variations and adding controlled chaos to the music. Thavius Beck's new course "Note FX Explored" explains.. The course begins with the Randomize, Dribble, and Quantize Note FX, turning a simple one-bar drum loop into a much more interesting pattern. Moving on from the drums, it goes over the Strum Note FX to make chords more expressive, by fragmenting the notes, somewhat like a guitarist would. Next up is the Ricochet device, which treats notes as balls that bounce and collide in a polygon, affecting panning and timbre. The course continues with other Note FX like Note Repeat, Bend, and Humanize, and also demonstrates different ways to combine Note FX together with modulators, for limitless musical possibilities. Bitwig users interested in the creative possibilities of Note FX will definitely want to check out this new course to get the most out of these cool effects.
