Daily Science Corner:
Who among us—other than the Bitwig developers—hasn’t wished for a resettable note counter? Especially in a polyphonic context, where you’d want to count note groups and assign a modulation signal to each group.
The polyphonic part is actually not that hard: just switch the Grid to Mono mode. From there, every incoming gate gets merged, and you can hook it up to a phase counter that drives your sequencer. Periodic resets? That’s solvable with a bit of logic, by exploiting Bitwig’s built-in phase reset on the 1→0 transition.
And modulation? Easy—just push it out of the Grid at audio rate using a DC Offset as the driver. Done and dusted.
Enjoy :)
