This is part thirty-seven of the tutorial series 'How to use Arturia Pigments'.
In this video we discuss and learn how to use the Sequencer and Arpeggiator tab in Pigments 4.
The sequencer and arpeggiator share many of the same functionality, which makes it fast and intuitive to use either one. It is really easy to make great sequences, especially using the random feature.

Great set of videos. Thanks for doing them. I knew the basics but you throwing in all of your techniques is incredibly helpful. Also, nice to see some metal-influenced music for a change. I've always loved metal before IDM and its nice to see what metal-influenced sounds you can get out of the program. Thanks for this awesome resource!

Damn, I'm 7 mins into this tutorial and I am absolutely blown away by how great it is and how I am starting to make some calls on the sound just before you make those changes yourself. Love this. Gonna join your discord today. Just bought myself a Bass Station 2, so can play around in Pigments and also with a hardware synth too.

That's so awesome man!! It seems like it's really starting to click for you!! And the coolest part is that 99% of it all transfers to other synths as well

Thank you for you efficient tutorials! I wonder how to tie a note to the following note. Pushing the gate value to the maximum kind of simulate "tie" but I'm not totally convinced.

@jonaudio 3 ай бұрын

what you could do is turn on legato mode, that will smoothr out the gate lengths. Make sure the gates are at least 100%

@Nykronds Ай бұрын

what about if i want to change the root note in the sequencer on the scale, always is C it is posible to change it for other root note?

@M_Catch Жыл бұрын

so some of the house edm are random sequence regen + gate + swing + 1/16. Massive attack and reverb maybe..?

@jonaudio Жыл бұрын

You could definitely do that. That's what makes pigments really cool, because you can cool sequences and by using regen on stuff it makes it fresh the ears as the sequence plays. Sequenced can sound super repetitive after a little bit, so regen helps tremendously with that.

This is great considering that for some reason Arturia skipped this feature when making their tutorial videos

That's interesting 🤔, I didn't know they skipped this section.

@robmlisanti Жыл бұрын

is the sequncer only in the key of C? im confused on how it works in Key what if I want the sequencer in "A Minor" ?

@jonaudio Жыл бұрын

great question, so the sequencer is not only in the key of C. It's more of a visualization of the notes, if you want the sequencer to play in A Minor, in the pitch section where by default it says 'Chromatic', select that and change it to natural minor, select your notes in the sequence and make sure you play an A note. then it will be A Minor. If you decide you like the scale but want to change the key, you can always play a different note and it will be a minor scale in whatever note you pressed.

Does the drums come from the same Pigments preset?

@jonaudio Жыл бұрын

No, for this example I'm just using stock drums in FL. However you can definitely make great sounding drums in pigments

@M_Catch Жыл бұрын

uh the velocity thing does not work for me, is it because i use a keyboard key, turned off velocity triggering in FL?

@jonaudio Жыл бұрын

Yeah if you're using the keyboard, it will register all notes at 100% velocity. You could always draw in the notes and manually adjust the velocity in the piano roll

Is there a latch function?

Do you mean when you hit a chord once and the Arp keeps going without having to hold down the notes?

I almost watched this. What a shame you chose LIGHT mode instead of dark. Nothing personal, but my old eyes simply can't cope with light mode. I can't see the interface details. Sorry, I have to pass :(

@jonaudio Жыл бұрын

All good my man. I totally get it. After spending enough time with the light theme it started to hurt my eyes too and I switched back, so future videos in the series will be dark themed. The light looks nice but the novelty wore off.
