About Course

Unlock a new dimension of sound design with Modulation in Bitwig, a comprehensive course led by producer and multi-instrumentalist Thavius Beck, known for his work with artists like Nas, Nine Inch Nails, and Skylar Grey. This deep-dive into Bitwig Studio’s powerful modulation environment is perfect for producers who want to break free from static sounds and add dynamic movement, texture, and complexity to their music.

Across 20 expertly crafted lessons, Thavius introduces you to the core principles of modulation and guides you through the wide array of modulator devices available in Bitwig. You’ll explore envelope modulation, low-frequency oscillators (LFOs), step sequencers, and XY controls—each providing unique ways to animate parameters and bring your music to life. From subtle rhythmic pulses to wildly evolving sonic landscapes, you’ll learn how to design modulation paths that suit any style or genre.

This course goes far beyond basic automation. You’ll harness advanced tools like audio sidechain modulation, note-triggered envelopes, and voice stacking to produce expressive and engaging sounds. By the end of the course, you’ll not only know how to use modulation in Bitwig, but also why and when to apply each modulator for maximum creative impact. Whether you’re a sound designer, electronic music producer, or simply looking to expand your Bitwig workflow, this course equips you with a rich modulation toolkit to transform your productions.

What Will You Learn?

  • Understand the fundamentals of modulation in Bitwig Studio and how it differs from traditional automation.
  • Learn how to use envelope modulators—both 4-stage and 5-stage—to shape sound dynamics with precision.
  • Explore various LFOs and how to apply different waveshapes, onset delays, and tempo-synced rhythms to modulate parameters.
  • Get hands-on with step modulators and sequencers like Parseq-8 and the Note Counter to introduce pattern-based modulation.
  • Master advanced XY modulation using tools like Select-4, Vector-4, and Vector-8 to assign and control multiple parameters in real time.
  • Discover cutting-edge modulation techniques such as audio-rate modulation, sidechain modulation, velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, and voice stacking to create rich, evolving textures in your sound design.
