Modular Concepts: Synthesis World Tour feat. Polymer [Bitwig Studio]

If you are shaping sounds, you are using synthesis techniques. And lucky for us, the Polymer instrument makes it easy on both sides of our brain. This tutorial runs thru six — SIX! — kinds of synthesis with the assistance of Bitwig's modulator devices. It is Polymer's world; we just live in it.

1:17 - An overview of Polymer
2:54 - Pulse waves are predictable!
3:51 - Stop 1: Pulse Width Modulation
4:46 - Interesting textures, that even get quiet!
6:11 - Stop 2: Phase Distortion
6:54 - Morphing shape and keeping the fundamental!
8:32 - Stop 3: Hard Sync
10:27 - Miami Vice! Hammer time!
12:02 - Stop 4: Phase Modulation
14:50 - Losing the fundamental is nice too!
17:21 - Stop 5: Wavetable Synthesis
18:33 - Ramp modulator to read/loop each note!
19:54 - Stop 6: Unison Techniques
20:30 - Wavetable has its own unison modes!
22:51 - Every oscillator has stereo detune!
23:45 - And Swarm has eight voices of unison fire!
