I was wrong about Polymeters (Patreon)

In this Bitwig Studio tutorial, I demonstrate creating polymeters using different methods. Here's a summary:

1. Using Node Grid and Transport Module:Start with a polymers synthesizer on an instrument channel.
   Create a node grid in monophonic mode before the synthesizer.
   Remove node inputs, add a gates module and a transport module.
   Set the gates' step count to an uneven number (e.g., 10).
   Match the transport length to the step count for synchronization.
   Use a dropdown to adjust triggering speed.
   Address phase offset issues with a reset mechanism.
2. Using Counter and Trigger Module (Suggested by Omri Cohen):This method involves a counter, trigger module, and a gates module.
   Disable the pre-chord and connect the modules.
   Match pattern length in multiple places (e.g., set both to 5).
   This setup doesn't require a phase reset.
3. Advanced Polymeter Techniques:Use a pitch module with transport and reset.
   Match step count and transport length.
   Add triggers module for additional flexibility.
   Incorporate quantizers or step mods for more complex rhythms.
   Combine different settings in step mods for creative modulation.
4. General Tips:Polymeters create interesting patterns and melodies.
   Adjustments often need to be made in multiple places.
   Experiment with reverb, delay, and modulation for richer sounds.

In conclusion, these methods offer varied approaches to creating polymeters in Bitwig Studio, highlighting the importance of synchronization and phase alignment in complex rhythm generation.
