Sound design features of the Pigments
Pigments by Arturia is the only VST that lets you dive deep into the sound. It offers endless modulation possibilities, you can design any kind of sound. The micro controls and LFOs of this bad boy are also major contributors to its distinctive sound design.
The Arturia Pigments 5 offers 160 wavetables. It also lets the user import the wavetables. With the help of these wavetables you can craft any sound like bass, pads, kicks, keys, leads supporting elements like buildup sound, and much more.
Selection of wavetables
Out of 160 wavetables, the user can choose any wavetable and the user is also able to morph between different types of wavetables to create unique sounds. These wavetables can also be affected by the inbuilt high-quality effects like phase distortion, wave folding, and rich unison & voice controls. So, you can make any inbuilt sound your own.
Sample & Granular
The Arturia pigment plugin also provides a high-quality granular synth. In this synth, we import our synths. This synth breaks out imported samples into many small pieces known as grain in terms of music production. The granular features of this plugin help us to manipulate those grains, and it completely transforms them into something unique and tastier. With the help of this, we can Warp, contort, stretch, and modulate grains.
Harmonic engine
The new feature of the Arturia Pigment 5 is the harmonic engine. This harmonic engine allows the user to create inspiring sounds by using powerful, addictive synthesis. Additive synthesis is a way of designing sounds in which users have to add different waveforms of variable amplitudes. This process may be a little complex, but here comes the harmonic engine of the Pigments 5.
This harmonic engine makes this process very handy by providing visuals of the harmonic spectrum of the signal. This harmonic is the same as the patcher plugin of the Fl studio.
Virtual Analog
The Virtual Analog engine of the Arturia Pigments 5 consists of four sound engines alongside Wavetable, Sample and Granular, and Harmonic Oscillator. These features of the plugin have been award-winning. If you want to emulate the sound and behavior of the old, legendary classical synths, then the features of the Pigments 5 have got you back.
Utility Engine
One of the dancing features of the Arturia Pigments 5 is its utility engine. Sometimes the sound designer needs more oscillators to add another layer of the sound even if he or she has used all the oscillators of the synth plugin, to tackle this problem the utility engine of the pigments is here to provide you the extra oscillators.
The utility engine also lets you add secondary layers of sounds like noise layers or atmosphere sounds to any other sound to make your designed sample sound fuller. Some of these secondary sounds are available in the plugin itself, but you can also add your own. For more information, please visit the official site.
Filters
The filters of the pigments 5 are amazing. They also can be side-chained with other controls of the plugins. The pigments 5 provides 11 different types of filters. Let me tell you some of them.
- If you want to make your sound more exciting, then the surgeon or format filter are best to use.
- If you want to make your sound more wobbly and shaky, then go for the Jup-8 Filter. This filter will bring very small vibrations in your sound and will make you sound like old analog synths.
