This segment from Bitwig's official "Let's Build an Arpeggiator" tutorial focuses on the Pitch Quantize module's Use Note Input mode, which replaces fixed step settings with the notes you're actually playing on the keyboard. Instead of manually selecting which pitches the arpeggiator lands on, the module reads your held notes in real time and uses those as the active steps.
Switching notes mid-performance immediately changes the rhythmic and melodic shape of the pattern, making this a genuinely playable, performance-oriented approach. The tutorial also addresses a subtle but important behavior: LFO retriggering resets the phase every time a note is pressed or released, which can feel choppy. Turning off retrigger lets the LFO run continuously across note changes, giving the pattern a smoother, more flowing feel.
The segment closes with a note on how mono synth behavior interacts with this setup. Because pitch signals are sent one at a time into a single oscillator, the amplitude envelope stays open across held notes rather than retriggering per pitch, which affects how each step in the pattern is shaped.
