Day 101: A much more elegant way of doing the same thing. 😋
February 27, 2025 at 2:04 AM
Day 99 & 100: Yesterday I did a few random things like working on a few patches, studying sounds and presets, etc. It definitely did things yet I didn't feel as productive. Similarly for today, but I did figure out how to recreate Vital's formant warping in the Grid. -w-

Day 97 & 98: I was quite busy both days. I first combined the XY phase-distortion setup with the 4D wavetable patch to make the ultimate 2*XY wavetable patch. On the day after I enhanced my random band pitcher rack to create random wild bass jams.

Day 96: XY phase distortion.
February 22, 2025 at 12:28 PM
Day 94 & 95: Yesterday I played around with the Phasor module and manipulating the phase signal. I also tried doing some math with it. Today I made an XY patch of multiple phase modules and made a cool sample jam with it. Moreover, I've been working on my article on both days.>w<

Day 92 & 93: Yesterday I started writing an article about the math of Phase distortion and made presets with the methods. Today I figured out a better way to formulate the math so I have to rewrite the whole thing 😭. I also played with Phasor and the phase modules in Bitwig. >w<

Day 91: I mathed real hard today.
February 17, 2025 at 12:08 AM
Day 89 & 90: Yesterday I tried reverse-engineering a sound from Euphoria by Ata and got close but I thought the AM needed to be a bit more intense. Today I had a eureka moment: I unlocked the power of phase distortion!

Day 87 & 88: I didn't end up doing much but tried reverse engineering a pad I love but I hit a roadblock, so now this time feels kinda wasted.
February 14, 2025 at 3:51 AM
Day 86: I have a wavetable obsession problem.
<( ̄︶ ̄)>

(Glad I saved the note I recorded the original sample with. -w-)

Day 85: Today I made wavetables again, some of which I am really happy with! They turned out so cool! I tried making a psy bass with one of them and by extension ended up practising making a psytrance beat. 😋

Day 84: I don't remember all the random stuff I did. At least I processed some TTS voice shots, made more wavetables, and randomly made a pluck arp which took waaay too long, but I like it. If someone knows a better way to make clock & pitch arp syncs in the Grid please LMK. xDDD

Day 82 & 83: Yesterday I worked on a track but felt discouraged failing to make the bass I wanted. Today I made some utility patches & wavetables, studied what the "Blur" device actually does, and recreated a preset from this tutorial in the Grid. >w< youtu.be/b-4TkTnnrAM
February 9, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Day 81: I continued working on a project and streamlining my 4D wavetable experience. I am really happy with it! I moreover made some bass jams with it again😋.
February 6, 2025 at 11:38 PM
Day 79 & 80: I made some samples with the 4D wavetsble preset (I'll simply call it 4D instead of "2D positional space" lmao). On the day after I wrote a piano part and tried to make an intro part out of it. :3
February 6, 2025 at 10:25 AM
Day 78: 2D position/frame space wavetables.
February 3, 2025 at 11:44 PM
Day 77: I made a few wavetables, worked on my wavetable tools programme, and worked on an article about wavetable creation and specifications. :D

Day 76: I felt physically rather terrible today so I only experimented with PM-ing basic shapes by vocal samples. While that was cool, I also figured I could try modulating the sample playback speed, which sounds similar to PM. This chain became quite interesting!
