While it was likely created on an analog synth, with a soft synth as versatile as Pigments, we can approximate analog subtractive synthesis pretty well by using the analog engine. A single PWM oscillator suffices to notice that an exaggerated release time on the envelope modulating the filter cutoff helps introduce the sound\u2019s signature timbral shape. Don\u2019t forget the effects &#8211; distortion, compression, and reverb are integral to the pad\u2019s character, making this patch a good demonstration of how important effects can be to a synth sound.<\/p>\n<p><em>Credit on this patch is due to Mitchell Sigman, whose synth patch recipe from \u201cSteal This Sound\u201d helped me get started on recreating this sound.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/plugins\/38677978-pigments-vst-au-by-arturia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Interested in giving Pigments a try?\u00a0Rent-to-Own the powerful synth on Splice for $9.99\/mo.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s take a look at how to recreate the iconic synth heard in the intro of Radiohead\u2019s &#8220;Everything In Its Right Place&#8221;
