I loved this series of "Let's Play w/Pigments". It's so thought-provoking to watch you go from "default template" to something complex and engaging, and hear your lines of thinking along the way.
You can add your own (noise) samples to be used within utility engine: just find the folder where the default utility samples are stored and copy your own samples into it.
As someone who has recently dived into the deep end of music production, I love these videos and hope you’ll keep making them. Even if I’m not using Pigments specifically, a lot of what you talk about is applicable in general.
Me, after spending 3 hours patch diving through pigments to get an idea of it's scope: "Neat, but pedestrian". Jeremy, after 45 minutes of fucking around with parameters - "this is totally weird and I'm here for it". So am I Jeremy, so am I.
I love watching videos like these. I feel like I've learnt a little more about pigments with every little change you make and how well you explain things as you go. Amazing sounds as always Jeremy!
oh if only words were enough to describe how grateful I am for this video. Not only is the information in this guide amazing but the presentation is superb. I`ve already watched it several times - not only to assimilate everything shown here but because it also gave me so many ideas of how I can use this plugin and what sounds I want to make as well. If there were a 100 videos by RMR on using pigments I`d watch them one after the other over and over as well. Already watched all the videos he made so far and made a special playlist just for them. The first minute of this video alone was enough for me to insta-subscribe and like but Jeremy is really making some exquisite content in general :X Few weeks ago I made the decision to go back to making music after about 7-8 years of doing so (I did F around with hardware but haven`t used a DAW to write music). Back than when I did put out some stuff out there there was basically no info like this on the internet but now I`really want to take advantage of this and this is certainly one of the sources I`ll use.
Would be super cool if synths like pigments could output their virtual control voltage channels (LFOs, envelopes, functions, randoms) as CCs (configure a map in prefs) so that you could drive 3rd party visualisation tools or even modulate other synths.
Love listening to you! Your voice is calming yet grabs my attention. And your vids are extremely useful to me! Learn something from you everytime! Thanks
Man the video itself was so instructive, but the dark Boards of Canada (but more interesting) track you made towards the end was just epic. So much more nuanced and interesting than most of the stuff I see floating around on TH-cam
Your videos are some of the best audio content I have seen on youtube in recent years. Thanks! (would love an exploration session using the additive engine, I don't think I've seen one)
I would really appreciate more of these videos, especially with the 3.5 update. You have a great ability of explaining throughout your demos. Please revisit this series :)
That sound you created from the bird sound is awesome 👍🏾 So much movement, and filter action! Love the sound creation possibilities. Also love how you go into detail. Great vid! 💯
Another great video on using Pigments Jeremy. Yet the best for me on P3 as you show us how simple it is to sculpture an amazing BOC style sound just using simple waveforms, noise and sub effected by Lots of creazy modulation. Love it.
Awesome. Loved every minute of it. I just purchased Pigments yesterday from Sweetwater and I can't wait to deep dive into some of the effects and get some noises like this? Thanks!
Your video has prompted me to revisit the utility engine, which to my discredit, I somewhat dismissed first time around. I love your idea of a single patch song - it's pretty obvious you were having a lot of fun at the end of the video! (and that's a great song / vibe) Maybe others share this view - I sometimes feel a 'bit of an imposter' when creating complex sounds that require just a single note played with lots of macro / modulations. Videos like these say to me, 'nah, just do it, it's all creative, it's all music'.
Great vid man. I like this sort of content so a massive thumbs up here on this sort of caper going forward 👍 Pigments is such an amazing piece of kit but sadly, my laptop hasn’t quite got the legs for me to be able to use the full potential… I can still do some natty sound design shit though so all good for now! Cheers dude, peace ✌️
Reinforced undercarriages are always underrated. 16:17 😱 The number of tracks, plugins, and processing lanes you'd need to do this "traditionally"...or you can use Pigments. As for content, I love these vids, with or without cat.
hello Jimmy! it’s 2 years you upload video about iOS music making. Please, can you make new one? I’m quadruplegic and I can’t move with my fingers (only apple pencil) so something without playing chords. It would inspire me a lot. I love your videos, I appreciate your work. Adam
I love the noise and weirdness. Nice work! I just picked up Pigments 5. Just finished your Let's Play vids and the Utility Engine vid (not all in one day). Still learning without having had a chance to spend much time with Pigments directly so I wanted to ask if it was possible to assign or modulate multiple parameters at once using a single source such as an LFO? The reason I ask is from you using all 3 LFOs and then using the function generator for controlling other parts of the utility engine. For example, could a single LFO be used to control multiple parameters at once? Thanks again!
Not to get too pedantic but at 12:40 if it sounds like "gnomes figuring out a new way to say hooray" than it is more Floydian, as in The Pink (Syd), rather than Sphonglesian.
Your understanding of how LFO works is wrong. You said that it adds a lot of low frequency ("bass") signal, but you can't see any fundamentals in the scope. That's because it doesn't add the LFO to the mix, it modulates some signal, say synth voices. This means that if your synth is currently playing an 8000 Hz signal, and you have an LFO at 50 Hz, applying the LFO will make the main synth voice vary between 7950 Hz and 8050 kHz. There are no fundamentals (or harmonics) added into the main signal. You can't hear the LFO, but you can hear what the LFO does. The synth plays a signal with the same frequency as the LFO when you change its frequency, just to let you hear something, but you won't hear it in the mix because it is applied rather than added.
@@stevenreddie9780 I'll preface this by saying Jeremy definitely knows what an LFO is & how it works. But also a sub oscillator or LFO in this context isn't being used to modulate anything. Sine waves are good for adding lower frequencies or creating kicks, basses etc. so in this context I'd say he's correct in use/terminology.
woah this video was fantastic, really inspirational, I wanna go make some sound effects now. also the sound you started building about 21 minutes in is interesting, it almost sounded like someone running through a maze of a building and you could only hear them sometimes as they went closer and further. and the track at the end was so slick, I am blown away by how much Pigments can do on its own. I think this video pushed me over the edge to learn Pigments more before I consider eurorack. thanks for the weird ass video :)

Thanks for the shout-out
"Let's play a synthesizer" is exactly why I watch your content, for whatever that's worth.
Pigments is quickly becoming the only digital synth I need at this point
I find myself using Omnisphere less and less with each Pigments update.
Same lmao
After watching this I spent hours with my head stuck in Pigments, thanks.
I loved this series of "Let's Play w/Pigments". It's so thought-provoking to watch you go from "default template" to something complex and engaging, and hear your lines of thinking along the way.
Arturia has really turned Pigments into the sound designer's dream VST. It can pretty much do anything now. And the sound you created was crazy 👍
Always appreciate the Pigments videos. It has quickly become my favorite synth!
You can add your own (noise) samples to be used within utility engine: just find the folder where the default utility samples are stored and copy your own samples into it.
thank you
on WINblows10 that would be Program Data\Arturia\Samples\Pigments\Factory\_Noises
My last sound design session I dug into the utility engine and it made the whole synth sooooOoo much more useable than it used to be
I recently sold my soul to Phaseplant, but this was a refreshing sound design video, those bird textures really became something beautiful

2. Yes I do spray a lot.

Great stuff Jeremy, feel free to make more videos like this! :D
This literally have me chills. Wow. Can't wait to get pigments myself!
Really cool! Can you please show us how to make common video game sound effects with pigments, like lazers, jumps, footsteps etc?
thats a cool idea

Been on pigments since version 1. It by far my fav in the box synth.
Just as I finished your previous Pigments videos you upload this. Thank you!

Whoah!! That track at the end was sick
THE DISCORD SOUND AHHHHHH 15:28
And yes I would like to hear more of that kind of stuff
I thought it was on my end :p
Haha we all checked our notifications didn't we?
I did, that's for sure!
Rewatched this after the 3.5 update, and yeah. I now have ideas for Jamuary.
19:13 Gabba Gabba we accept you we accept you you're one of us
Really loved your Pigments videos! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this. I frequently just get lost playing even some the presets that I never seem to take time to explore the whole thing. 😁🎵🎹🎶Play On
Fantastic..and that music at the end..well its exactly what i look to buy and make..truly Awesome...

Did you address Jeremy as Jimmy? You might get a more positive reception if you use his name, or is this some reference that I don’t get?

awesome fun, how about a video on equator 2 and a sound board
More Pigments please!
cool nice werk
Insert Dumb and Dumber "I like it a lot!" meme.
Great tut mate.
more sound design on pigments please!
OTT very non BOC indeed. Nailed it audibly too.
I love this type of content,!!!,😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
YES! We love this weird ass video!
MOAR PLS
Awesome! Keep it up, want more of that :)
So much fun!
Wow that is so cool 💯💯💯😎✌️
Starting 13:00 FSOL vibes from Dead Cities album
Was expecting a different kind of Jungle ;-P
I have had a wonderful day now! Hi dawg.
Jeremy you are a beatiful person 💖
You do realise the d50 did these sounds for movies way back when? ;)
yup! d50 was RAD!
13:57 sounds like the Adams dying sound from Neon Genesis Evangelion
yes more weird ass video please!
pigments has OTT built in now lol
This was fuckin dope.
Because you asked, I like it 😌
Can't wait for the final boss episode off Synthersizer LPs, recreating Pigment patches in Reaktor
e: and the secret ultimate NG+ boss, doing it in C++
I like this kinda weird ass video.
Can you PLEASE! PRETTY PLEASE! Do a tutorial, on how to do the THX sound ?
2:29 What scope?
This was awesome 😎. Are you able to share that last preset?
i'm working on a pack!
