Let's Build a... Distortion [Bitwig Studio | The Grid]

This tutorial builds a distortion. As though at the workbench together, we cover various methods of distorting a signal and then combining them in parallel. We explore pre-gain, Audio Out's clipping options, waveshaping and "Bend"-ing signals, wavefolding and quantization, and splitting signals by frequency and polarity. The options are limitless within The Grid.
