Let's build an... Arpeggiator [Bitwig Studio | The Grid]

 

This tutorial builds an arpeggiator. Starting from the idea of cycling thru each note that is held down, we investigate pitch control via signal, domain scaling, pitch quantization techniques, building a change-detection circuit, and tweaking phase and timing for a stereo arpeggiator. Approach building in The Grid like any sound design task — start with a known target and find unique ideas in the journey.
