Bitwig Tips and Tricks: Piano Roll
Channel: Bren the Navigator
Date: 2021-12-16

Bitwig's piano roll has this awesome feature built in that a lot of people don't know about. While it may not have scale presets built in, it has a fabulous feature where you can make your own scales quickly and easily. You don't even need to know music theory in order to make it work! 

I demonstrate the simplicity of making custom piano roll scales here. Later in the video I'll show you how to tweak them as you go along, in case you fancy using a note that isn't in your original scale. 

Keep watching to the end and you'll see how I quickly created a banger of a tune using this method. You'll see how I layer parts with the same scale, add drums, tweak notes etc. It's so easy to write tunes with a feature like this helping with the boring stuff!
