Arturia Pigments 3 Tutorial Ep#9 - Keyboard Modulaton

Arturia's Pigments is a multi-featured, multi-engine synth with almost limitless modulation capabilities. In this series we'll deconstruct it to see how it works.

About me:

My name is Anthony Chisnall. I'm a musician & songwriter.

My channel is these things:

1. A place to share my songs - via various 'Back on Track' video series - in which you'll see each song idea evolve step-by-step, with me (hopefully!) improving my song-writing skills as we go.
2. An outlet for me to discuss all things musical - including technical break-downs of software and tools that I use, as well as more wide-ranging discussions of topics that interest me.

I play the guitar (electric, acoustic, and bass), and record all of my own synth-based sounds myself too, but I can't sing very well (huge understatement!), and so my wife, Pauline, who has a lovely singing voice, has come to my rescue. You'll hear her on all of my songs.

All of my music is written in Steinberg's Cubase.

I try very hard to make my videos PRACTICAL and no-nonsense - if I don't use a feature, I'm not going to waste your time trying to sound like an expert on it! This is the stuff I use day-to-day, so I think that's also what you'd like to hear me talking about.

There are a few subtle differences in Pigments 4. I was able to find the Micro tuning in the Settings menu.

Thanks for these, they're very useful to me.

One shall not modulate volume with velocity. Velocity should be put as a side chain to VCA AMP in Env VCA. Because if you modulate the volume, a tail of low velocity note will be amplified by next hight velocity note.
