Textural Grains is our first soundbank for Arturia Pigments 4 and it is also available for Analog Lab V. It consists of 40 granular pads with textured colors for adding atmospheric elements in your productions. The base of this soundpack are custom samples taken by our Sympan and Symposium soundbanks.
 
The 40 presets are mainly non playable in terms of a classic synth performance but maybe a good exception of that is the “Grammophone Sound” preset which embraces some distinct sound characteristics of a vintage gramophone.
 
All presets are in Poly 2 mode meaning that only 2 voices polyphony could be played the same time. You could change that in the down part of the Pigments synth and add any voices you like. The play mode was designed with just 2 voices as the soundbank is mainly focusing on creating textural atmospheres that sit beneath the music part of your productions.
 
A nice tip is to sample in your DAW a low register note and then you could transform it into a textural atmospheric low rumble, nice for some techno tracks. This tip could have application to almost all presets of Textural Grains preset pack.
 
The 4 macros are assigned to stuff like delay, chorus, distortion and reverb. MW adds vibrato and Aftertouch pitch modulation.
 
All presets designed with Pigments 4.0.0.2935 (x64) and run best with this or newer edition
 
Analog Lab Edition: Soundbank needs at least version Analog Lab V 5.6.1.2942 (x64) or newer
