Arturia Pigments with Ms Lauryn Hill & The Fugees

[@simbaking6338]

Sigh...I have Analog Labs/Pigments for the past 2 years now but i've never really used them .I;ve obviously been sleeping on this thing.Youve just inspired me to load it up back on my Macbook pro & start exploring ,having fun sound designing...Thanx alot ma bro,

[@SamGutman]

Awesome man! Yeah Pigments is so great to just mess around and make sounds in.

[@bodhibeats8257]

Fun video! Pigments has definitely become my go-to wavetable software synth. It’s pretty similar to Serum or Vital - so there’s a good chance you don’t *need* it. But, I happen to have all three, and Pigments is my favorite of the bunch. 😁

[@SamGutman]

yeah it's very quickly become one of my favorite VSTs

[@zvenx]

I have had Pigments from Day 1, never used them in an actual project.. But this just proves that in the right hands, a craftperson can make almost anything work...

[@furiobisotti8150]

I play in cover bands, we have gigs with 50 or 100 people. We have fun but of course we are not professionals... It is exciting to see what a real pro uses for big venues and tours! Yes, I use Pigments as my swiss knife for a lot of sounds. It can be soft analog for seventies prog rock, or terribly harsh for nineties electro dance. Really flexible and performing. But I don't like Astrolab because it assumes you use only Arturia plugins. They are nice but I prefer to keep a computer on stage and have the freedom to use whatever I want. I rule my live setup with GigPerformer, and it's rock solid.

5:05 😂 man these videos are priceless , Is there any chance you can do a Patreon or something like that with your patches (montage/modx/Arturia)?

[@SamGutman]

I am definitely going to do SOME kind of Patreon-type thing soon. I think I'm gonna set it up through my own site though. When that's ready I'll be sure to mention it in videos. Thanks so much for your support!

[@igotbit9454]

Omg Lauryn. Hopefully I see all u guys live one day

[@SamGutman]

I think there's gonna be another leg of the Miseducation tour so be on the lookout for that!

[@enochroot9438]

great insight dude. Arturia need to comp you every new keyboard they release

[@FirstLast-nr6gf]

I've never heard a Pigments sound on KZbin which I liked. They sound weird to me. I prefer Yamaha MODX or Logic Pro sounds. FM Lab from Steinberg is not bad too, but it is made by Yamaha. Actually I don't do much sound design. After watching this video I plan to try Pigments.

[@djkanyon]

So there's no sound engine\library close enough to Pigments in this synth? I don't get it. Why one still need to use plugin while having pretty awesome synth from the same manufacturer... you know if i have Roland Fantom i don't need Zen Core plugin anymore... maybe there's something that i miss?

[@bodhibeats8257]

Could have this wrong, but my understanding of AstroLab is that you generally need to VSTs to *design* sounds, but once you’ve designed them you can transfer and*play* them directly on the keyboard. I think that’s the idea, but don’t quote me. 😁

[@djkanyon]

@@bodhibeats8257 i think so too, but if i'm buying Astrolab will it have them Pigments sounds or something like that on board? i mean presets. I mean the hardware synth just gotta beat the crap out of plugin or else it's a glorified midi keyboard and VST in the box, right? Dunno maybe i'm wrong

[@SamGutman]

So the way it works is that the Astrolab comes with all the Pigments presets...but you can't really edit them or create your own presets ON the keyboard. For that you have to have the software. But once you have the software you can tweak things, create them from scratch, etc, and then load them right into the keyboard.

[@bodhibeats8257]

@@djkanyon You can certainly make the argument that most any digital synth is “just” a glorified MIDI keyboard and VST. I certainly think that’s what my Hydrasynth is. But…what’s wrong with that? I find it really convenient to have a powerful digital synth like MiniFreak or Pigments or Massive in hardware, with knobs and buttons perfectly labeled and designed (unlike a MIDI controller). Yeah, it’s “just” a VST in a box…but why is that bad? 😁

[@djkanyon]

@@SamGutman ok got it! i was like afraid that there's no Pigments sounds inside... thanks, now the smoke is cleared

[@jasonjayalap]

Does this push out the roli/equator?

[@SamGutman]

nope! I switch up my rig all the time just so I don't get too comfortable. I still play the seaboard all the time and often bring it to shows.

[@bodhibeats8257]

@@SamGutman I enjoy this about you and your videos, BTW! It’s fun that you are willing to explore new gear in high pressure live scenarios, and it’s to your credit as a musician that you are so adaptable! 😁

Love hearing how the sausage gets made.
