Modular synths allow us to be free, but often our own thinking can trap us. How many ways can signals function? What are the generic types of modules? An organized way to think about signal function & flow is the difference between luck and intention. Dave Linnenbank from Bitwig invites you to think about how to think, and make sounds… with purpose! ‍➡

Contents:
0:00 We need a schema
3:58 Only 3 signal functions exist Audio, Control, Timing (ACT)
6:39 Let’s examine signal types within Bitwig & The Grid
17:36 Logic inputs are generally Timing, whether for triggers or hard sync
22:51 Phase inputs are also Timing, whether for sequencer timing or synthesis
25:46 With all devices, parameter modulation allows for Control & Timing
29:03 All modules are Generators, Processors, and/or Terminals
30:16 Processors always have "Signal" inputs for further processing (and eventual ACT connections)
36:26 A twist: Thinking freely, the DC of our keyboard gate is a legitimate audio signal
