your story of your father playing exciting things on his guitar and your reaction brings back my earliest memory of music, which may even be one reason for becoming a musician at all (and not a behavioral scientist as was also in my wishlist later on): i must have been four or five years old, when our parents stayed with us in a youth hostel and there was this group of young students - one of them had a guitar and liked to sit in the yard and play a little - i remember that i was utterly fascinated by those sounds coming directly out of this wooden box, unbelievable for me - so when i kept staring, he played some chords extra for me and they had exactly the same effect like you describe here, haha... later songs like "venus" by shocking blue or "my sweet lord" by george harrison became faves just because of their guitar intros! thanx for your little story, much appreciated - cheers from a german coffee junkie 🙋♂️
UVI Digital Synsations also have a great ARP but I cant get it to send MIDI data to other instruments. Do you happen to know if that's possible? (EDIT: found an old KVR thread which says it's not poasible, UVI Workstation is not sending out any Midi data. Too bad)
Once again you are the man! I thought pigments was already in a class of its own but you just unlocked a new realm for me to run free on. Thank you, your a scholar and a gentleman!! 💪🏼👍🏻👊🏻🎸🎹🎼💻🔊
@@VenusTheory hey brother, do I really need Output's Portal Plugin if I already have Pigments? Seems like the granular engine can get me relatively similar results as Portal.
Arturia is one of those companies that inspire with their hard- and software. Would love to see how they brainstorm for finding and developing new ideas.
So I talked to a great customer support agent at Arturia named Baptiste and he helped me figure out how to do this in Ableton: 1. Insert a Midi track with Pigments on it and enable the sequencer. "Midi from" All ins, All channels. 2. Insert another empty midi track with the "Midi from" set to Pigments (in both the first and second slot) and the "Midi to" set to whichever instrument you want to trigger and track in (two slots). 3. The instrument you want to triggers midi settings should be "Midi from" All ins, All channels (two slots) 4. Set "monitor" to Auto on all 3 tracks. Arm all 3 tracks. 5. If you do not want any sound from the Pigments instrument you can either 1. turn off the sound engines in pigments (saves some CPU), or 2. deactivate the track in Live (but make sure its still armed)
Nope. Tried it. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but can’t have 2 different instances of pigments seq routed into a single different synth using your method.
Could you put " "Midi from" All ins, All channels" into a complete sentence so I can understand what you mean? I do not yet see a way to generate and send MIDI from the Pigments sequencer. What am I missing?
I finally got this working in Ableton - to have 3 instances of Pigments Sequencer / Arp feeding 1 other Instrument you need 6 midi tracks - 3 with Pigments and 3 to route the Midi from Pigments to your Instruments (Using the Midi From and Midi To slots) as set out above. The trick to getting it to work was I had to arm all 6 Midi Tracks.
Pigments has also random sample playback in its sampler engine, which can be used in with all other random generating stuff, so it even can create randomly modulated percussions. Pigments has lots of things that can inspire you in exciting ways.
I’ve had Pigments since it was first released and never knew it could do anything like this. Then again, I was using Reason as my DAW, which doesn’t support MIDI routing between VSTs. I use Cubase Pro 11 now, so I’m guessing (hoping) that these techniques will work in Cubase. I love Dune 3 as well, but I can see this being used on other instruments, too, such as pianos and other top layers that can add a touch of sparkle to a piece. Great tutorial, Cameron, as always, and we appreciate the hard work and time you invest in creating these videos, thank you 😊
I also moved from Reason to Cubase a few years ago. This type of stuff is super easy in Cubase, you can send the MIDI receive right on the instrument panel. I use this to sequence my hardware, receive MIDI from Reason Rack players, etc.
Haha well hey glad it showed you something new at least! This will work in Cubase as you can route MIDI stuff there to drive other instruments. Lots of fun to experiment with and add some spicy sauce to a track or get some ideas cooking!
Is there a tutorial on how this setup works in Cubase? I have researched but have not found anything similar for Cubase. Maybe I just searched the wrong way. What is the name of this technique? I would be very happy about a hint.
@@dyka890 here is how u do it in Cubase: Pigements is the Midi Generator ( like he showed all its possibilities) and for the simplicity i used the Steinberg Synth Retrologue to receive these Midi informations. Just tell this track to receive from Pigments. I made a screenshot for you, how to set this up.
Imagine if Arturia released just that part of Pigments, the arp/sequencer with the LFOs and random generators and such. That would be the ultimate arp/sequencer plugin and would actually be super cool to have.
Stepic is pretty similar the Pigments sequencer, and is insane. I actually use that with pigments instead of the built in now, just gives me more control and allows me to switch between presets while keeping the same sequence.
What a great sequencer - and by accident I just bought Pigments today - then RUclips suggested your video. Thanks by the why for your gorgeous toy Noctua!
Super cool! I didn't realize you could use the sequencer of one synth to power another. The idea of stringing 3 together for polyphony is such a great idea. Thanks, Cameron!
VERY interesting & inspiring! I have Arturia's V Collection 8 & a ton of other VSTs that are retro-focused, so I have never felt the need to consider Pigments. However, the more I learn about Pigments, the more tempted I have become. Thanks for sharing a vid that highlights the sequencer/arp & export data functions in Pigments!
It's actually a really ridiculous synth - I slept on it at first, but once I started really exploring it (and with all the new updates) it's always surprised me how deep it is!
I agree…was thinking they should extract the arp/seq as a MIDI effect plugin. Ideally it would still have all the modulation sources and routing as well.
Pigments is the gift that keeps giving! Had no idea about this, thanks for sharing! You made me love Pigments even more which i didnt think was possible :)
Thx a lot! Just bought that synth a few days ago and had no idea that it does so much stuff! Bought it only because it is a wavetable synth but as soon as I started diving deeper I was surprised very positively! Thx for your videos! Very inspiring!
Thanks mate this is absolutely great when I'm lacking for ideas! and on top of this you can then laod what you've got as a smple back into pigments to play around with even more.
Ableton users: Ableton won't let you send midi out of track with an instrument (Pigments) loaded. You need to set up an empty midi track for each instance of Pigments then select "Pigments" under "Midi From" and "Your synth" under "Midi Out". Make sure the empty midi tracks are armed. This works fine with the sequencers. I can't figure it out with the appreciator as the track with the triggered synth needs to be armed. Let me know if you find a workaround.
I'm still unable to get it to work in Ableton. Tried both your method, as well as selecting the "MIDI from" on the synth I want to receive the MIDI info from Pigments, as Pigments and setting the monitor to In. All I get is the first MIDI note that I play with Pigments in the second Synth. It doesn't actually play the sequence. Any tips or workarounds on that? @venustheory?
I have pigments midi from all channels, did what op said to do (turn the sound engines off pigments) then my audio to is set to my audio interface Then on my other track next to it, I have another vst // the midi comes from pigments (monitor is set to off in both) then on that track the audio is set to the same track on the audio interface
11:35 yeah that was super. I've always focused on my hardware sequencers, but this does have some really nice features that they don't. I'm definitely going to try this as a controller for some hardware synths this weekend! Thank you so much for the little tutorial.
I knew that you could use Pigments as a sequencer for other VST instruments; but I didn't know that you could run multiple sequencers with a single instrument instance. That is definitely something to have some fun with; as running them through different instruments/instances to add different layers of sound. If you set each instance of Pigments to a different rhythm but only using the arpeggiator and route them to a string library, you'll get instant system-style string textures. You could add the sequencer too, but that could be a bit much. You could use woodwinds, or several Moog emulations, or whatever you want, up to the limits your computer can handle. Getting that wall of seething, pulsing sound under your fingers can be quite inspiring. I often do this with three or four instruments, then edit the midi to increase the variety between them, or to tidy up any areas where it feels like a little more synchonisation is needed. It needs a fair amount of editing plus mixing to avoid just having too dense a wall of sound; space needs to be created with panning, automating volume levels, EQ, and so on, to give each instrument its due. But it is quick, inspiring, and rather satisfying.
Great video Cameron. I've used these features (apart from the output Routing) months ago but slightly unconsciously, so I'd forgotten about the brilliance of it. This video will help me to remember. Thanks :)
Thanks so much for this. Absolutely eye-opening. I really enjoy using generative players - they are idea starters. Reason's 'Players' are very similar and just as inspirational.
Thanks so much. I've been lokking for this paradigm and doing algorithnic stuff in MAx in this way for years, but this seems better than Stochas, with which i had MIDI problems for too long ! Thanks again. Martin Leduc
One of my favorite things to do with the pigments Arp it to make a really chaotic sequence then use the function generators and combinator to make a trance gate to pull it back into a regular pulse
I'm using FL Studio and I think routing inputs and outputs is done using a plugin called Patcher, where you can model very complex routing schemes. Pigments is my main synth, it's so powerful and fun to use. Thanks for the video, nice as always!
It can be done even in even more simple way in FL Studio - just add as many Pigments instances as You want into the Channel rack. Then (in the plugin window in the Detailed settings->VST wrapper settings) set the midi Output port to, lets say, number 2 on all of them. Now insert the target instrument to the Channel rack and in the plugin window set the midi Input port to the same number. Voila, You got it.
Lovely video! It strikes me that so much electronic composition is largely focused on randomization and unpredictability, whereas composition for live musicians is often focused on trying to get a very precise and predictable result. Which is ironic, since that's totally playing to each paradigm's weaknesses, rather than their strengths...
Wow! Thank you for this video Cameron 😁 I've been in a creative black hole for a while, but this has really inspired me to try something new. I'm going to route it out to my hardware synth and see what happens. Thanks again 😊
These sounds reminded me of Hologram's Microcosm (I use two most often). I'm gonna have to try swapping one out, to then use one with this method. I feel the same, the Microcosm has always felt like having another musician in the room with me who's improving some odd phrases.
interesting bit about the polyrhythm feature is once it's enabled it allows you to scale each line, octave, velocity etc individually....just drag from the side and choose different lengths for each one..... not really necessary if you'r going full random but definitely a useful feature if you want to be a bit more in control
I had to pause this video halfway through, to go and make a retro synth track based on Pigments arp (+ Oddity, impOSCar, PO32). thanks for setting me off in this direction
Just discovered your channel through this video. Thanks for this video. Basing off this video alone, your content looks amazing! Subbed and will be paying attention. - Dowden
1, 2, 3. 1 Your video reminds me on using one plug for this but feed another plug as the source of sound (the modular way). 2 Kept me to have a deeper look at the Pigments sequencer. 3. The same root of interest, let the parametric world in a random / chaos sound and be flashed by it, till you take the control back.. The world of random noise... Thanks..
Hope this gives you all some inspiration to go make some new tunes this weekend! 🤠
Let me know the results! 🥳

I agree…was thinking they should extract the arp/seq as a MIDI effect plugin. Ideally it would still have all the modulation sources and routing as well.
The free HY-MPS2 plugin does pretty much all of that and more. However I don"t know if it can re-randomize every time.
I have never checked out Pigments before, but it looks great, and this video inspired me to have a clother look to Pigments. Great Video 😉
The conclusion is very well articulated.

Learned how to do it myself without any help :) but this video and your guys comments // thanks now I'm learning how to daisy chain properly
Ohhh another useful tip I found elsewhere don't use AUv2 to daisy chain command, you need to use regular vst
i was searching madly for a sequencer w probability, and found out now that Pigments does it all, thank you
The sequencer+arp trick REALLY reminds me of the type of random sequencers you can get in VCV Rack, this is an absolute gamechanger, thank you!
