@alisynthesis yes! That would be super cool. There’s lots of lighting possibilities too.

Maybe an album cover?

@alisynthesis put some dim, red lights in the box and a spy hole at the other end and call it a "View of the Creepy World!"

A@ambientspace.cloudisland.nz.ap.brid.gyOct 11, 2026, 5:52 PM

@alisynthesis are you sure that is not part of your upcoming #Halloween decorations?

@ercanbrack Vital, or Osirus/OSTirus are my go to non #Bitwig synths that I look to on #Linux. Both are free.

A@ambientspace.cloudisland.nz.ap.brid.gyOct 11, 2026, 4:47 AM

I'm using the free version.

So, did you know that #Vital is available for #Linux? An interesting exercise to build the horn patch in #BitwigStudio, but why not make it in Vital and run it as a monophonic voice and get a Tuba, French Horn and 3 Trumpets all going at it?

I think this is much closer to what I've been […]

@futurebird I can’t recall there being and time when this would have applied. I loved radio drama and would request various titles around holidays. If I wanted to buy something, then I found ways to hustle and do odd jobs to reach my goals.

I mowed lawns, split and stacked actual tons of […]

This patch needs some work. There’s too much high end activity and it sounds a bit less brassy and more clown horn to my ears. We’ll see if I can bring it to a happier state.

My #BitwigStudio #Brass explorations continue. There is a fascinating #Vital #Wavetable demo for brass synths that I had been messing with a long while ago, and now that I am better equipped I can make it go in Bitwig using modulators.

I need to step away from this for a bit as I in a bit of a […]

@CCirco shared a track on the #BonkBoard where they used the #UheDiva which to my naive eye looks like a #MiniMoog. This led me to finding a YT tutorial on making a Mini Moog in the #BitwigStudio grid.

And now I have a version that is becoming the #AmbientSpace #Minogue #PolyGrid preset. I am […]

#JaronLopez is providing me with a very nice, ongoing grounding in music theory and production. If I wasn’t running a brewery I’d be leaning into making music.

[Health, sensitivity to chillies.] On the other hand, I’ve discovered some very simple exercises that seem to be helping rebuilding my core strength and hip rotators & flexors in particular. I stand on one leg, perform a knee raise with the other, and slowly move my thigh so that my knee […]

[Health, sensitivity to chillies.] I am lying on the couch with cramps and irritated lower GI after a foolish experiment with seeing if I could tolerate mild salsa and nachos (with finely shredded cos lettuce). Two nights in a row. Friends, I feel not good. I have shifted to bland foods, but […]

And it sounds like this.

A@ambientspace.cloudisland.nz.ap.brid.gyOct 5, 2026, 5:13 AM

So I popped on over to #Linux and brought my #SwamHorns samples into #BitwigStudio and their improved #Sampler to see if I could coax a reasonable result.

I am relatively new to using samplers (or at least building my own) and I am pretty freaking chuffed […]

#IamSeeingDots posted a very fun recorded performance for #WeirdsvilleAlternativeOnlineFestiveal 2026.

Live music with #noAI.

While fully synthetic, there is a bunch more colour and character that is present in the Swam Horns. Making this test has revealed that I can simplify my device chains and instead of using a MIDI controller for expression that it also works pretty well to simply use an ADSR for modulating the […]

For comparison, here is the same passage as built entirely with #SWAMHorns and I've used stock #BitwigStudio devices for Compression, Reverb, Chorus and Filtering.
