If you send the MIDI from pigments to another track in Bitwig, you can record the sequencer MIDI. Pretty cool to be able to fuck around and then keep the best parts. Also the non destructive editing of MIDI is super nice to have.
@AlexReidStudios10 ай бұрын
Yes, that makes this very powerful. I believe you can send midi from one track to another in other DAWs too.

When i started on pigments 4 i was like dammm the effects on this thing are amazing for beautiful stereo width and reverbs lovley delays so many cool things then BOOM they dropped it on this free update. Much love to the team at Arturia thanks guys

Many people wanted a Pigments Effects version, but this is basically the same with more steps and easier to program I believe

This update is a marvel!!! Beyond the feature updates, I'm absolutely convinced that they upgraded the sound engine, as the presets just sound so huge and warm. I could actually hear and feel the subass patches on my 3.5 monitors, which never happened with Pigments before. And this one annoyingly thin sounding patch I used in an abandoned song suddenly had more meat and substance, and I was able to quickly make it sound solid with chorus and a stereo wider. Man, oh, man. They made me fall back in love with this synth

Im really glad I got pigments at launch. It was like 50 quid. It's been my go to soft synth, along with Karma FX, a very under rated synth.

Haven't tried that one. Pigments is really something isnt it
@TheDavidPoole11 ай бұрын
@@AlexReidStudios yes, Pigments is the soft synth that I'd love as hardware. I think Waldorf have come closest, but not quite worth a cigar yet. Karma FX is a modular soft synth., but a little different. Not rack based, so you end up with something more like a bespoke normalled synth but can still change things up if you want to. It sounds amazing, but hasn't gotten the exposure that a lot of others have. Likr I say, I think you'd like it. There is a demo version I believe. This was another one that I picked up really cheap on a sale day and am very happy about. No affiliation btw

Great demo. Pigments 5 looks fantastic. An upgraded sequencer that works excellently and also with other synths. Perfect to be able to use sound sources before Pigment and use filters and effects. But I don't understand why the browser has been changed, now it's plotty and difficult to get an overview (frustrating). What I miss most is getting a really good sound, it's too tricky. Reminds me a lot of Analog Lab with millions of sounds, but no "keepers". Cheers.

Yeah, these additions seem small but they expand the usage of Pigments beyond itself as a synth

so if you had to choose, phaseplant or pigments?
