Another sequenced space ambient tutorial for beginners!

As a beginner, it's important to solidify your foundation as a music producer as much as possible. It's not just about the gathering the right tools, but also the techniques that you use to get the results you're looking for no matter what synthesizer you're using. In this ambient tutorial for beginners, I go over how to make the ambient pluck using Pigments, which is a great choice for nearly every aspect of music production. 

Hopefully you guys enjoy this one! Even if you're further along on your production journey, I'm sure there are some nuggets of information in there that you'll be able to pull from. And if you don't have Pigments, you can always follow along in any other synth of your choice. 

Cheers and enjoy!

I was expecting a video on Pigments and I'm not disappointed. Thanks. It was very instructive

This was great for me. I don't have Pigments, so it was a good peek into the way it works, which helps me in deciding if I need to add it to my collection, or if something I already have can do the same things. Impetus to learn more about what I do have already, which is never a bad thing!

I have those same exact headphones... love em!

Thank you Chris. I can finally use this as a beginner. very good explanation. Hopefully this will be continued.

Awesome instructional video, Chris. It's great to see you dig into Pigments for plucks and pads. Step by step you were clear and concise on how to get there. Thank you!

Been on vacation... just now catching up with the videos. Whatever your frame of mind was when you recorded this, perfect! Staying real. Great information on Pigments. Love watching your mastery of the software.

Chris, for a free running envelope I think you have to use a function. You can set it to LFO mode and it has up to at least 8 stages. Useful for modulating wavetable position with more than 4 stages like the Waldorf M, 3rd Wave, etc.

Superb. I just rewatched after many months of watching your tutorials, and it is even more helpful this time through. Spirals of learning.

More than three years after this was released and after I've done a bunch of other S1gns tutorials, this is the one that kicked me up to a new level. I made a beautiful sequence that sounds like a minimalist electronic string band plucking away, doing call and answer stuff. I sequenced it in stepic and created 5 variations, all played for odd numbers of measures so the patterns shift unexpectedly. For the first time in finishing an ambient project I said to myself, I love this! I'm going to use it to finish my first full track. Thank you, Chris!
