In this video I show you how to accomplish shaped (hand drawn) modulation in Bitwig by using Gatekeeper or LFOTool, and I show you a best-practice approach to setting up global modulators on a single track. Finally I demonstrate a little-known bug with Gatekeeper that can mess you up when trying to trigger it with MIDI notes, and the simple way to avoid being bit by that bug.
35:50 - Jump straight to the description of the Gatekeeper bug
Here are links to download three specific presets I describe in the video.
Shaper Mod - Gatekeeper (You'll need to own Gatekeeper to use this):
dropbox.com/s/sfhi57ks3z5dmt1/Shaper%20Mod%20-%20Gatekeeper.bwpreset?dl=0
Shaper Mod - LFOTool (You'll need to own LFOTool to use this):
dropbox.com/s/dctv5o2z2cq7q01/Shaper%20Mod%20-%20LFOTool.bwpreset?dl=0
Super 8 Modulator:
dropbox.com/s/cjargs9mbz2qicb/Super%208%20Modulator.bwpreset?dl=0
Although I don't reference it in this video, here is a link to the "Bitwig Handbook" that it often mentioned in this series. This is an evergreen document that I will continue to expand and improve as I make more Bitwig tutorials.
