Coming soon on patchpool: Palette for Arturia Pigments 2

[Sampleconstruct]

Palette for Arturia Pigments 2 contains a broad range of colors for composers and music producers who seek inspirational sounds beyond the ordinary. All patches have the four Macros and the modulation wheel assigned, many patches also use aftertouch. In many patches tempo-synced modulations of amplitude/filter/pitch can be dialed in, the granular engine was used prominently when incorporating samples.

Enrich your music with lush pads and beautiful musical beds, with dark drones and cinematic soundscapes, with acoustic and electronic percussive sounds, expressive bells and mallets, electric and acoustic guitars and other sampled string instruments, polyrhythmic, meditative and punchy sequences, smooth and evocative vocal sounds and some otherworldly sound effects.

You can view/download the PDF for this sound library including the license agreement, installment instructions and a detailed patch-list here.

All demos below were produced entirely with Pigments using only patches from Palette, no post-processing was applied apart from a limiter on the outputs and some volume automation, if several instances of Pigments were used in a track.




Video playlist:

[Sampleconstruct]

A polyrhythmic sequencer patch from Palette for Pigments which uses HANG drum accents with 5x round robin (finger articulation). Macro automation and modulation wheel action recorded in LogicX.

[Sampleconstruct]

A granular Pigments patch (flutes/sax - multisampled at 4 pitches) from Palette - automating the 4 assigned Macros and the modulation wheel in Logic X.

[Sampleconstruct]

EDM in odd time signatures. Two Pigments 2 patches from the sound library Palette. Automating the 4 assigned Macros and the modulation wheel in each patch in Logic X.

I'll be deploying a first batch of 30 patches to all customers in a minute.

[Sampleconstruct]

A single patch from Palette for Pigments 2 which uses samples of acoustic guitar played with chop-sticks - both engines run in granular mode. Automating the 4 assigned Macros and the modulation wheel in Logic X.

[Sampleconstruct]

Improvising live on video with a hybrid patch (granular/wave-table) from Palette for Pigments 2 - a short patch description is embedded in the video itself.

[Sampleconstruct]

Two demos, each one with a single wave-table patch from Palette for Pigments.

Bright Yellow Glass


Glacier Pad

[Sampleconstruct]

4 patches from the sound library Palette for Pigments 2 in a digital tribal crossover fusion whatever track. Automating many of the assigned Macros, aftertouch and the modulation wheel in Logic X, some volume automation.

[Sampleconstruct]

A single vocal patch from the sound library Palette for Pigments 2 - a short patch description is embedded in the video itself. Automating the 4 assigned Macros, modulation wheel and aftertouch in LogicX.

[Sampleconstruct]

Improvising with a single patch from Palette, automating the 4 assigned Macros and the modulation wheel in Logic X in a second pass, aftertouch was played live in the first pass.

Re-synthesized/wave-tabled music box in E1, granular music box snippet in E2 (volume control M3). M2 shifts filter routing towards tuned BP in F1, M4 adds modulator oscillator in E2, MW adds filter modulation (Function 1, speed modulation via LFO1).

[Sampleconstruct]

Improvising with the patch Vibra Pearls from Palette for Pigments 2. Automating some of the assigned Macros and the modulation wheel in Logic X in a second pass.

short description:

E1 (routed to F1): Vibraphone octave accents, sampled at two pitches (C3/C4), granular octave tremolo in E2 (volume control M1), VEL controls sample speed/start in E2, detune amount in E1 and LP cutoff in F1. M2 adds FM in E2 (via Function 1), MW adds quantized pitch modulation in E1.

[Sampleconstruct]

Video demo for a hybrid patch (granular/wave-table) from Palette for Pigments 2 - a short description is embedded in the video itself. Automating the 4 assigned Macros and the modulation wheel in LogicX.

[Sampleconstruct]

Improvising with a single granular e-bow patch from the sound library Palette for Pigments, available on patchpool.net. Automating the 4 assigned Macros and the modulation wheel in Logic X in a second pass, aftertouch was played live in the first pass.

Short patch description:

Each engine carries two e-bow samples, granular mode, split point E1: C3, E2: C4 (M2 for volume control) - M1 sets sample start and adjusts modulation depth (LFO1) for grain position accordingly, AT increases LFO speed and alters various granular parameters, M3 adds FM/RM modulation, M4 shifts focus to modulated HP filter in F2.

[Sampleconstruct]

New age ambient whatever featuring two patches from the sound library Palette. Automating some of the assigned Macros and the modulation wheel(s) in Logic X.

[Sampleconstruct]

A vocal sequence patch (overtone singing) from Palette for Pigments 2 - a short description is embedded in the video. Tweaking the 4 assigned Macros on the fly, modulation wheel action was recorded together with the Midi notes.
