The rise and fall options are also a nice touch, which allows shaping of the random waveforms.ġ0. The sample and hold generator is a traditional random generator, but Arturia have added some unusual features, such as the ability to change the impulse source and trigger source. The other is called turin, which can be completely random or locked into loops that repeat every cycle, which can be adjusted and flipped. One is called binary that works with one’s and zero’s, basically an on/off random generator.

Randomisation doesn’t end there, by clicking on the random source tab you will have access to three random sources that can be routed to multiple destinations, making Pigments the ultimate random machine! As well as the classic sample and hold option (with added extras), Pigments has two extra mathematical random sources. So we’ve already mentioned quite a few areas which you can randomise certain elements within Pigments, the ability to randomise some wavetable features, LFO’s, function shapes and sequencer/arp values.

If you like using randomness in your music, you will love Pigments
