I previously wrote about the Expert Sleepers ES-9 a “Eurorack 16-in/16-out USB audio interface, with DC-coupled inputs and outputs that can be used for both audio and CVs”. While it is advertised as having 16 outputs it can be expanded to much more than that. Recently I decided I wanted to expand the ES-9 and I figured I would write […]
Recording CV with Bitwig
Someone recently asked about how to go about rendering CV with Bitwig. For this demo I created an audio track with a HW CV Out device. I put a sine wave LFO on the CV out so that we would have some output for our demo. Note: I did not bother to map the CV Out Output as we are […]
Expert Sleepers ES-9
While getting deeper into modular I realized I needed to better integrate it into my computer workflow, that’s where the Expert Sleepers ES-9 came in. The ES-9 is a Eurorack 16-in/16-out USB audio interface, with DC-coupled inputs and outputs that can be used for both audio and CVs. With it’s balanced 1/4″ main outputs & headphone socket, it’s the perfect […]

Drone Control
When experimenting in the Bitwig grid I will often remove any sort of envelope while trying to build an interesting drone. This generate something akin to the classic Reaktor patch “Space Drone”. I’ve always been inspired by Space Drone but have found it painful to work with because it will generate audio continuously even when nothing is playing. This can […]
Taming Probabilities in Bitwig
Anyone who has been following my blog for a while know I am a fan of probabilities and randomization in my music. While they are a great compositional aid they can become problematic later on in the creative process. It can be frustrating rendering out a piece multiple times in the hopes that the random seed generates something compelling. To […]

Disquiet Junto 0461: Hunting Goldilocks
I helped Kiggler with his current Disquiet Junto project. I mostly provided some textures and arpeggios from the modular and Kiggler expanded it out into a whole universe. His comment on the track: “This project was a collaboration between myself and Schemawound for the Oct 29th-Nov2 Disquiet Junto. This track takes the listener on a journey from outside a solar […]
