Arturia Pigments has slowly and sneakily become my go-to VST synthesizer. It's also the one I reach for when I want to explain synthesis to people in my lessons. In this series, I'll show you how it works, and why I think it's dope.

Part 02 - Modulation (Envelopes, LFOs, and more)

Such a great tutorial this. I get really easily baffled by the sheer amount of options Re: 'modern synthesis'. I started out with Alchemy. I'm now using version 3 of PIGMENTS. (Freely upgradable if you bought version 1!) I also Love the visuals, it's so easy & quick to edit with a touchscreen & a good midi controller. (I recently bought an Arturia Keylab49 Essentials, which at about £160ish is a great buy for somebody interested in a nice solid hands on machine with a decent quality keybed & plenty of assignables & some decent software) I like using this as a standalone. It's so easy to get perfectly & blissfully lost in it. These guides are fantastically helpful, although it should be pointed out to beginners (like myself) that Arturia built in really helpful tips & walk-throughs to allow you to learn how to use the whole synth, so don't be put off if it seems overwhelming. The interface is exceptionally user friendly and contains a few hidden surprises too. (if you click the right button on certain parameters, you can set more fields). It really is an incredibly powerful multi-synth, capable of such a huge array of sounds. More experienced soft-synth users will no doubt become immediately addicted to this beautiful beast. Thanks again for such helpful tutorials on this & many other quality musical softwares & hardwares. All the best & Kindest regards, Simon.

In fact, I think what you say about get Vital as a free option to very nice synthesis; actually it's a must-have as complement since unfortunately you cannot make your own wavetables in Pigments. Really great synth, but is the only thing I miss, although you can import into it. Thank you for the tutorial.

not sure if anyone else mentioned this but i’m pretty sure the matrix 12 is using pole mixing filters, basically you have the separate outputs of 4 or more lowpass poles and they’re added together in various ratios to produce other filters, like bandpasses, highpasses, and weird stuff. i’m not super familiar with the original but i know there are several eurorack modules at least that have 15 different modes using the same concept

sweet man :) if i can make one suggestion, your synth sound is fairly quiet in the video which makes me turn up the volume higher but then your voice is a little too loud. a good solution to this is to sidechain the pc sound with the mic so you can turn keep it at 100% vol and the compressor will duck the synth everytime you speak. even pure obs can do this stock, and when i discovered this, it helped my videos a lot :)

One question I do have, is it possible to route some of this through midi to control a hardware synth? Like route LFO1 out accomplishing through midi what you could do with semi modular or eurorack. Or out to a midi-CV interface.... If the hardware synth supports changing various parameters through midi that is. I'm sorry I did a google search but keep getting interrupted watching the video.
