Chapter 14. Advanced Device Concepts
We have talked about and dealt with devices throughout this document. As we have seen, it's quite possible to operate devices in all the normal ways without delving into their advanced functionality. In this chapter, however, we'll explore device capabilities that are deeply powerful and generally unique to Bitwig Studio. The aim of this chapter is not to educate you on any particular device or its parameters. While we will examine a few devices here in detail, our purpose is primarily to investigate concepts that are relevant to many devices. A separate reference section on the Bitwig devices themselves can be found at the end of this document (seechapter 15 <>). In this chapter, we will investigate nested device chains, we will examine Bitwig Studio's uniqueUnified Modulation System (and the modulator modules that it supports), and we will take note of some of the advanced VST plug-in options provided. Congratulations; we've made it to the deep end of the pool. Now take a big breath.
