[Feature Request] Selectable Modultors

There are moments where i wish to have more Function Generators and more Randoms. An interesting idea imo would be to make it so that we could choose what each modulator does. So, a select option where we can make each modulator an LFO, a Function Generator, and Envelope, or a Random. This would open up the possibility of adding new types of Modulators, too. More Function Generators would make the Envelopes (which only have four points) and the LFOs (which do not go slowly enough for me) almost unnecessary. Yeah double the amount of each modulator would be great but i see why i won’t likely happen (keep the whole synth on one page, maybe it would be a nice option for those who have bigger screens)
Pigments is plenty fun as is.
Wavetable Editor would be nice.

Hi @CrystalWizard and thanks for the suggestion, just tweaked your title slightly, so it’ll be more likely to be seen by The Arturia Devs.

HTH!

Thanks, i overlooked the protocol :thinking:

Hi @CrystalWizard ,

How slow do you need them?

I wonder why you don’t mention the Combinate section. There are 3 modulator modules available there with many possibilities. Any reason why you left them out? They for example even have Envelope Followers that have the option to use external audio as modulator source - or internal audio and other options for that matter.
Just saying - just in case.

An example of this would be how Massive X handles it’s modulators.

Do you mean the same as how they are implemented in newer Arturia synths such a Jup8000v? See screenshot…

If so, I agree. That would be nice to see in Pigments. I find the Voice Modulator and Mod Sequencer very useful. Seeing as it is already implemented elsewhere, it should not be hard to incorporate in Pigments. But I am not a developer - so take that wild assumption with a pinch of salt :slight_smile:

I don’t think it’s possible to choose between for example LFO, ENV and Performer in any slot in Massive X. Like in Pigments there can be module related options in each module.
I think Pigments can have a few more modulators active at the same time.

Pigments Centerstrip and other indicators offer a good way to spot modulations going on.

If Pigments in the future can offer to select any modulator in more slots, while having a dynamic centerstrip showing all the modulators in use, and all user friendly indicators can be kept, and the file size don’t get huge, and without draining the CPU, then i’m all for it.
With even more slots than now, i don’t think that have to be easy or possible at all, - or make sense.
We will see what happens in the future.

Pigments have it’s design ideas and ways to do things like Massive X and other synths have. Then we can discuss, what we like best, and how things perhaps can be better, which might turn out to be in another or a new synth.

Not Massive X’s Performers, or the first ADSR, they’re fixed. For the rest though, you can chose between Modulation Envelope, Exciter Envelope, (Switcher) LFO, Random LFO.

As with the effects you click on the module title to make your selection.

Yes thanks @simon.a.billington.
