Pigments 7 courses

Can you recommend any courses on Pigments 7?
I am new to this instrument and sound synthesis in general. So something combining both the newest version of Pigments and sound synthesis would be ideal.
Money is no object :smile:

Thanks and have a great New Year!

I am not sure how ā€˜basic’ you want to start but this guy is pretty good and has a lot of Pigments videos, not only tutorials but sound design.

I would check him out before parting with any cash.

Of course, if money is no object, please feel free to check out my hand crafted patches at:

Thanks! Most of the videos I’ve found wrt. Pigments are demonstrating older versions like 3, 4, or 5. Does it matter, I guess the basics are about the same in all versions, right?

Im many respects, no. The updates to Pigments have been additions and this allows for backwards compatibility. Of course, after learning the basics and features up to that point you will want to ā€œcatch upā€ with new features in later releases. Again, Youtube could help you here.

There is a lot to Pigments. I have used it from the start and still discover new things or techniques which help to keep me engaged. If you are new to synthesis I would try to walk before you can run and soak up all the free videos you can.

To echo and expand on @Funtmaster and his stellar advice there…
It depends on your knowledge of synthesis really.
Pigments is DEEEEEEEP! and i mean DEEEEP by comparison to most other synths. It doesn’t use one kind of synthesis, it uses MANY.

I’d look at simpler synths such as The Jun-6 V and SEM V2 for ā€˜analogue’ synthesis.
The Emulator II V for sampling, DX7 V for FM Synthesis and get used to them before moving on to Pigments.
Of course though, there’s nothing to stop anyone from just jumping in and enjoying the huge amount of library it comes with as ā€˜stock’ sounds.

HTH!

Pigments have many build in Tutorials available in the right panel. (I believe all Arturias synths have more or less.)
