Damn, I'm 7 mins into this tutorial and I am absolutely blown away by how great it is and how I am starting to make some calls on the sound just before you make those changes yourself. Love this. Gonna join your discord today. Just bought myself a Bass Station 2, so can play around in Pigments and also with a hardware synth too.
That's so awesome man!! It seems like it's really starting to click for you!! And the coolest part is that 99% of it all transfers to other synths as well
@@jonaudio Yeah will do for sure. I’ll check out some of your earlier Pigments tutorials today as I’m laid up with an injury so will do a RUclips binge for sure.
Great set of videos. Thanks for doing them. I knew the basics but you throwing in all of your techniques is incredibly helpful. Also, nice to see some metal-influenced music for a change. I've always loved metal before IDM and its nice to see what metal-influenced sounds you can get out of the program. Thanks for this awesome resource!
Thank you for you efficient tutorials! I wonder how to tie a note to the following note. Pushing the gate value to the maximum kind of simulate "tie" but I'm not totally convinced.
Thanks Jon, I was still on edge of getting the Pigments but gosh, makes me wish Sytrus had this type of arp. Maybe I'll give the VFX sequencer inside Patcher a whirl. 😅
Playing with this sequencer, is there a way to prevent the sequencer restarting the sequence every time a key is hit? I'm looking for a synced mode (e.g. triplets) which respects the sequencer scale for the current root note but doesn't retrigger the sequence on note change. Maybe I missed it.
You could definitely do that. That's what makes pigments really cool, because you can cool sequences and by using regen on stuff it makes it fresh the ears as the sequence plays. Sequenced can sound super repetitive after a little bit, so regen helps tremendously with that.
great question, so the sequencer is not only in the key of C. It's more of a visualization of the notes, if you want the sequencer to play in A Minor, in the pitch section where by default it says 'Chromatic', select that and change it to natural minor, select your notes in the sequence and make sure you play an A note. then it will be A Minor. If you decide you like the scale but want to change the key, you can always play a different note and it will be a minor scale in whatever note you pressed.
Yeah if you're using the keyboard, it will register all notes at 100% velocity. You could always draw in the notes and manually adjust the velocity in the piano roll
I almost watched this. What a shame you chose LIGHT mode instead of dark. Nothing personal, but my old eyes simply can't cope with light mode. I can't see the interface details. Sorry, I have to pass :(
All good my man. I totally get it. After spending enough time with the light theme it started to hurt my eyes too and I switched back, so future videos in the series will be dark themed. The light looks nice but the novelty wore off.
Great video again. Jon what’s your instagram name? Typed in Jon audio didn’t see you. Maybe try Jon audio usa you made this song great love to see you mix the new style like this with the old classics. Awesome 🙌🏻 cheers ian in Australia 🇦🇺 over the pond and down under 😂👍🏻 cheers mate.

@@jonaudio Nice, that’s great as I already own the Korg Minilogue, Microfreak and a TD-3… which are just gathering dust.
Bust those bad boys out and give em some love haha

Thanks man, and you're very welcome! Yeah there's not too many metal guys into synths. Not too sure why that is 🤔
Thanks!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate it 🙏🙏
Wow I just found your channel and you use all the plugin i use. I’ma follow
That's awesome to hear! Welcome aboard my man! Glad to have you
Brilliant detailed explanation. Thank you.
thank you!!! you're very welcome!!
Really good explanation. Thanks
you're very welcome! make sure to check my pigments 5 update video as a few things have changed since then
Thank you for you efficient tutorials! I wonder how to tie a note to the following note. Pushing the gate value to the maximum kind of simulate "tie" but I'm not totally convinced.
what you could do is turn on legato mode, that will smoothr out the gate lengths. Make sure the gates are at least 100%
@@jonaudio Thanks, I'll try that !
Thanks Jon,
I was still on edge of getting the Pigments but gosh, makes me wish Sytrus had this type of arp.

Yeah I know what you mean. Not sure if you know but pigments is 50% off right now and costs 99 dollars
Awesome tips - thanks!
You're very welcome 👍
yea u watched your luxverb videos man i like your easy to follow presentation style. keep it up 😎👌
Thanks man! That's always the goal, trying to make these pieces of software easy to understand in bite size chunks, even at video #37 in pigments lol
@@jonaudio its a grind fs. enjoy the holidays
It sure it man, you as well 🎄

what about if i want to change the root note in the sequencer on the scale, always is C it is posible to change it for other root note?
so some of the house edm are random sequence regen + gate + swing + 1/16. Massive attack and reverb maybe..?
You could definitely do that. That's what makes pigments really cool, because you can cool sequences and by using regen on stuff it makes it fresh the ears as the sequence plays. Sequenced can sound super repetitive after a little bit, so regen helps tremendously with that.
is the sequncer only in the key of C? im confused on how it works in Key what if I want the sequencer in "A Minor" ?

@@jonaudio thank you 👊😎
Does the drums come from the same Pigments preset?
No, for this example I'm just using stock drums in FL. However you can definitely make great sounding drums in pigments
good job.
Thanks!
uh the velocity thing does not work for me, is it because i use a keyboard key, turned off velocity triggering in FL?
Yeah if you're using the keyboard, it will register all notes at 100% velocity. You could always draw in the notes and manually adjust the velocity in the piano roll
This is great considering that for some reason Arturia skipped this feature when making their tutorial videos
That's interesting 🤔, I didn't know they skipped this section.
great !
hell yeah!!
Is there a latch function?
Do you mean when you hit a chord once and the Arp keeps going without having to hold down the notes?
@@jonaudio yes and/or a looping trigger for the sequencer
Use the midi in your daw as a latch.
@@l.romain6447 thanks, in other words- no- seems an omission- far less featured synths have this
@@jonaudio There is a hold function, accessible from the "play" page only.
