Let's Play Arturia Pigments: Part 03 - Wavetable Engine

[@ZlakEdoras]

I have already rewatched the last two parts twice, I have to say, it feels like im rediscovering Pigments with these videos. Thanks for the awesome content Jeremy! Much love

[@Samus10175]

The casual Daft Punk 11:35 makes me really happy.

[@abletonproducer0014]

Watched every lecture on KZbin on this topic but this is the best 🎉

[@johnny5kmusic346]

I'm late, but thank you! 👍🏾 Especially for the random and macro parts. I've owned Pigments forever but never really got deep with it. Time to explore more

[@ClintonJudy]

This is blowing my mind. I got Pigments 2 as my first VST synth with a discount code after getting an Arturia Minilab 2 last Christmas. I didn't realize I was holding onto such a diamond of sound design. Thanks for doing this series Jeremy!

[@BANJOTHEKID]

this has been the most comprehensive guide to Pigments I'd seen, thank you

[@strangnet]

Q: What does this knob do? A: Shit sounds good! Awesome video series. Jumped into Pigments with the awesome Black Friday sale and extra discount for owning Analog lab, and it's the most fun I've had for €69 in quite a while. These videos really highlights everything perfectly.

[@KamilRusiecki]

Jeremy, you are a synth knowledge gold mine for me! Perfect coincidence - I recently bought Pigments.

[@superclaw28]

I am SO glad that this is the next section! The entire last video I saw heavy use of "wavetables" and I kept asking myself "what is this thing and why is it so cool?!"

[@SampathHebbar]

Love this series! RMR you rule

[@kunstbanause]

Dank Puffs 🖤

[@macronencer]

I've created my own wavetables for Pigments using Java code, based on all sort of mathematical ideas. It's a lot of fun if you're into coding! You have to be very careful about handling wave endpoints and avoiding glitches, but once you get past that, it's brilliant. I love this synth!

[@konamax9]

How did you did this? I mean did you create a java file and execute that to output a .wav file?

[@macronencer]

@@konamax9 Kind of, yes. A wavetable is just a big WAV file with all the segments in it in sequence. I made a Java project in IntelliJ and it has all kinds of classes in it that represent mathematical functions, from which I can make wavetables that move in ways I've never heard before. Fractal ones are particularly interesting, but I've also used geometric shapes, binary sequences, Gray Code sequences etc. to generate shapes. I guess if I were the enterprising type I'd sell these as a pack or something! Maybe I should give that some thought.

[@fernandomanqueo8683]

@@macronencer I'm super interested in hear how it sounds, would you mind sharing it maybe?

[@macronencer]

@@fernandomanqueo8683 Sure, when I get some time I'll upload something and come back here and let you know.

[@fernandomanqueo8683]

@@macronencer that sounds cool thank you

[@Oyasoom]

Today I Learned that I could drag a wave file to torture my own wavetables. Thanks! I always learn a small feature or combination I overlooked.

[@matthewallen6183]

11:35 random Daft Punk... love it.

[@BackspinZX]

Alright folks you heard it Jeremy gave us Homework at 11:38 let's get moving.

[@Keroser1983]

Man glad I have came across your channel...

[@joshuamorganmusic]

Yaaaaaas! I really hope you do something with the MPE support and hydrasynth. (Totally buying a hydrasynth today btw!!!)

[@turtlemouth]

You've gotten me fired up. I've got the software. I've got the time. All I need now are the skills.

[@ToyKeeper]

Sounds great and I love what you created, but I was a little surprised when a wavetable video ended up being mostly about FM. Unexpected, but good.

[@Jenghiss]

i didn't know that undo button was there! 😂

[@RedMeansRecording]

Its so good

[@KordTaylor]

Oh YES!!! 🔥

[@nicodemolalli5643]

@2:25 I actually sneezed right before this.

[@docpify]

This synth is amazing. Also, did I hear a few notes of the box in there?

[@mark35mi]

Effing Brilliant. Thanks!

[@kitik7778]

Wow, I've really been under using this plugin 😳

[@zethz161]

12:36 that is a FAT synth sound holy shit

[@blindianajones]

With that envelope 3... Is that how one creates a bouncing ball, big to less bounces as the envelope finishes?

[@gabsauvage]

11:47 lol i now that melodic line

[@chopov11]

Anyone know good video on how to create your one wavetables? Dope series btw!

[@if_dots]

One thing these videos make me wonder is whether pigments is better than vital? I am leaning towards getting a paid version of vital just to support the dev, but should I have both/does Pigments have something extra and special comparatively? They look similar in visuals, and while vital has sounded less good in presets they’re not always ... illustrative. These are all really great videos though!

[@tonogram]

I'd say Pigments comes out on top for versatility alone, but comparing the two isn't really fair.

[@stefjer8725]

haha... 12:37 is JUSTICE time!...

[@papuyonic]

THANKSSSSS

[@miahorg]

ALL GLORY TO THE FSU

[@TerenceKearns]

Shit, that was fun!

[@heavyharris5580]

I did not have a proper respect for the wavetable section before

[@elpaco_2020]

ear-gasm!

[@cptnqusr]

ending jam has once again transported me to 1980's miami, preparing to storm a stronghold for the russian mob

[@nkozi]

omg i know that melody at 11:30 but i can't place my finger on it...

[@elpaco_2020]

Da Funk - Daft Punk baby!
