Crackling on percussive sounds
« on: May 18, 2021, 02:54:13 pm »
Hello,
first of all: Pigments is a really great synth with a huge sound variety.

Unfortunately there is a crackling on extreme percussive sounds, especially on "state-of-the-art" Pluck bass sounds. The sound itself can be programmed really good and if you extend attack/decay then the crackling is gone - but the percussive character is gone, too.

I checked this programming technique on other "new" wavetable synths - and there is no crackling.

Can provide more info via PN  :)

Hi,

Where do you have the state of the art preset from? I don't have it, so i can't check it.
Can you name a factory preset that have the crackling issue?

When i hear crackles and it's about Pigments, then it's about the output level is over 0 db or about an added effect like the bit crusher or something like that. Have you checked things like this?

Hello,
I am creating those sounds on my own. The output level is not about zero and the crackle definitely is caused by extreme short decay times especially in the filter section. I am using the envelops to modulate several parameters to get the pluck character. I can sent you a sound example via PM.

Hi,

Do you know i'm a user, and that this forum is'nt Arturia support?

If you wan't me to have a look at a preset example, then feel free to post a simple example that does'nt have to be kept a secret in this thread.
Perhaps others wish to chime in.

If you wan't to contact Arturia support to find out, if they can confirm an issue, then you can do so through your Arturia account.
