Making beats with Arturia Pigments' new sample engine (granular synthesis sound design)
Музыка
Arturia just released a major update to their flagship wavetable synthesizer, Pigments. This update includes a brand new sample engine (with granular synthesis capabilities), an improved sequencer and overall performance improvements.
In this video, we make a beat only using Pigments since you can now load samples directly into the sample engine.

4 years ago, I recorded samples that I created on a couple of synths that I owned before I sold them. Then I forgot about those samples until I saw this video which reminded me that Pigments has capabilities for loading samples. So after watching this video I loaded one of my samples into Pigments which I labeled "Brutal Saw". Man, it sounds like a Trance monster synth. Absolutely useable. Thanks for the reminder.
Automating the attack is a pretty badass sound design trick, but the button "Att Curve" below the attack knob does the same thing except easier and with more control and visual feedback :) Dope video though, can't wait to learn everything about this synth!
Great video, very inspiring! I've had Pigments for about a year now and I've got to say, it's a fantastic synth! The depth of this thing is amazing. The sample editor alone is really powerful and then stack wavetables and analogue style synths on top? Just, wow.
Really great overview for the granular synthesis segment of pigments. Fire beat too!
Dope Content as always, Nick.👌
This gave me so many ideas. Thanks!

Hahaha yesssss
Omg, Arturia got me. They dropped a free VST effect for Christmas, the Plate Reverb. Of coarse that's what drew me in so that Pigments could catch my eye. Well played Arturia! After playing with the demo for 3 hours, I knew that I was going to take advantage of the discounted holiday price. Maybe I'm honeymooning? But this is one of the best synthesizers I have ever used, which includes Massive and Serum. Omg Pigments is beyond amazing!

Nice to know you appreciate Pigments!
Beautiful, sounding sampler! Very well produced video. Thank you so much for sharing!🤓
been using pigments 2 for a few days ..I usually use halion 6/kontakt 6 for sampling but I think ill try using pigments now thanks for this vid
Is it just me or does Nick actually seem very excited to play with the new update
Dope sounds
Everybody wants to make generic pop. You've got probably the most versatile sound making technology here and nobody ever wants to go Throbbing Gristle with it.
Great granular Overview on pigments..! :)
amazing. thank *YOU*
Awesome, súper handly.
the drag and drop feature isnt working with my wav samples in studio one 4
Dope !!!
!!! did anyone see the ghost appear by STUDIO door @1.16 and disappear @ 1.18?. SOME SPOOKY ARTURIA STUFF
Siiiiiick!

Hey splice can you make a video on mastering
10:55 I would have used "Attack curve" there
No key detection in sample mode.
What drums are those? That kick is banging!
Push 1 or 2?
Nice Track. What is the name of the control pad you're using?

What kind of pad are u hitting...the hardware is that something by pigments??
I can see the sampler feature (A-F)... I´ve tried to find the answer, but im wondering if the sampler can form 'transform' to the sequencer, IE make the sequencer into a drum-machine?

@@nyrrard Whatever sound is loaded into the sampler engine, is what the sequencer uses to trigger notes. This seems like basic function, maybe I don't understand your question properly. Also this is years late.
Do you really need a new instance for each hit?
Bro when he played that sample at the start I was waiting for slim shady to spit some bars
I notice in Ableton you've got quite a few instances of Pigments. I can't imagine you've loaded so many as it would kill the Cpu..? How have you done it please.. Great vid by the way. Thanks.

richard irons I've got a quad core i7 and 16 gb of ram. (2016 15' mbp). Cpu will vary from machine but I've found this update to be better. Also I'm only using one sample engine on most of the instances.

1:16 Hi
Great review! Perhaps someone (if not the uploader) can explain why he moved the snare sample slightly to the left? Was that to make it sound less "midi-ish?"

Thanks! Yes, moving the snare slightly ahead can give a more humanistic groove!

Pigments is part of a series. The rest of the Skin Faults pack include Moles, Nose Warts and Tonz O’ Freckles.
I wonder if the update is still a CPU hog.

@@Lucie-R2R_Happiness Haha walk through? Mate you'd need a guided tour, it gets deeeeeeeep. Depends on your DAW, your work flow, your plugins, your sound card, your buffer size, what else is running in the background, internal controls shuttling information packets about (USB controllers, PCI controller, Sata ect.), chip instruction sets, instruction sets of the software you use (is avx512 really a good thing?). Also depends on what you are doing. Is 16 cores relevant for most music people? Depends. Are you running a few channels with a high cpu overhead? may want to get less cores with a higher clock speed. Doing orchestral mixdowns? Get some cores behind you. 😊 welcome to the rabbit hole.
this is actually a flume synth tutorial 7:15 lol

When we can do such things easily in ableton sampler and simpler why pigments?!

Why anything? If all you want is basic sampler functions then yeah, stick with Ableton stock. If you want anything Pigments has to offer then, err.... get pigments?
