Arturia Pigments Sound Design Explained®

Studio wiz Thomas Cochran presents in-depth Arturia Pigment video tutorials! This plugin is a sound designer's dream, and this course will teach you how to harness its formidable sonic prowess and bend it to your will. Thomas demonstrates many effective concepts and techniques with a series of real-world applications, so you'll be able to put your newfound skills to work right away! These videos are for those who already know their way around Arturia Pigments. If you are new to Arturia Pigments, start with Arturia Pigments Explained® here first.

Thomas welcomes you and starts off by demonstrating how to create several bass patches. First up is an analog-sounding bass stab patch utilizing the analog oscillators and filter models. Then discover how to use amplifier and notch filter modulation to build a distorted bass tone. A chomp bass and a wavetable house bass round out the section, illustrating the use of the function controls and amplifier envelope modulation, respectively, among other tricks.

Next, explore the world of keys and pads with five patches: textured keys (with multiple synth engines), underwater keys (created with two sample layers), ambient pad (utilizing Pigment's sampler), lo-fi synth keys (with several modulations), and synth Rhodes (twisting a one-shot Rhodes sample into a synthetic-sounding keyboard).

Throughout the rest of the course, you'll learn how to create two different lead sounds by using multiple delays, re-synthesizing audio material, and more. By the end, you'll be well-versed in the sound-designing aspects of Pigment and on your way to creating your own signature tones!

This tutorial is great for taking the next step to creating user sound, after learning the function in "Arturia Pigments Explained". Thomas clearly focuses on the parameters needed for the patch. The tempo and language are good and with some breaks I was able to easily recreate the sound in the videos. Some parts of Pigments were not covered, like the Harmonic Engine and the Arp & Sequencer section. But that's okay. Now Pigments is another synthesizer I can start creating sounds with and there are a lot of nice options I could add that don't exist in other plugins.

Mr Cochran's tutorials are a model of clarity and depth. He delivers the key information you need quickly and easily in a relaxed yet focused way without sacrificing anything. I would highly recommend Cochran's tutorials, of which there are some very notable offerings on Groove3. Keep up the good work buddy!

Very in-depth, and simple to follow.
