‘Tech Dissect’ is an online workshop series presented as part of Saffron Members Club, but non-members who are women, trans, non-binary or gender non-conforming may also purchase a ticket.
Digital Audio Workstations offer so many ways to approach the creative process. From manipulating audio recordings to spontaneously improvising in real-time, there are so many possibilities to explore. In Saffron’s latest series of ‘Tech Dissect’ online workshops, we’ll delve into three entry points to modern technological music creation using the software Bitwig Studio, a versatile DAW that can be used for every stage of music production and performance.
WORKSHOP 3: Software Meets Hardware: Hybrid Performance with Bitwig Studio and Modular
Step into the world of hybrid performance where software meets hardware! In this beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll explore Bitwig Studio’s seamless hardware integration, demonstrating how to integrate the DAW with a modular setup to unlock new creative possibilities for live electronic music.
We’ll cover:
- Channel Setup & Routing: how to configure Bitwig for seamless modular integration
- Signal Flow Secrets: managing audio, CV, and clock signals for a stable and flexible rig
- Performance Tips & Tricks: combining clip launching, modular sequencing, and improvisation
- Hybrid Demo Jam: see it all come together in a short live example performance
Participants will have the opportunity to explore Bitwig Studio for free with a 30-day trial, which can be accessed here. There will also be a discount available on the full version of Bitwig Studio for those wishing to purchase the software. This will be shared with workshop attendees after each workshop.
