Arturia promises that while Pigments can sound like other synths, no other synth can sound like Pigments. It is truly a 21st century instrument that will become the go-to choice for all producers, sound designers, and synth-fans alike thanks to its extraordinary features and tempting price. Pigments has some colorful tricks up its sleeve. In fact, it can do things other Synthesizers simply cannot do.
These include:
Scale quantized pitch modulations to build complex melodic sequences
Continuous unison controls that can be modulated, with classic and chord modes
Extensive waveshaping options for the wavetable oscillator, with great aliasing control
The usual modulation sources and some more unconventional ones like the Turing and Binary random generators
Powerful gate/retrig handling for modulators. Perfect to inspire unusual rhythmic sequences or self-generating patches
Polyrhythmic sequencer with a strong emphasis on randomness, with scale control to remain musical
Features:
Two engines in parallel: the best of both worlds
Virtual Analog triple oscillator engine
Complex Wavetable engine with morphing and import
Twin filters: dozens to choose from
Classic filters from V Collection instruments
Modern filters like surgeon and comb
Continuous series/parallel routing
Powerful effects section: an all-in-one solution
13 stunning effects, including wavefolder, overdrive, parametric EQ, and delay
Insert or Send routing options with drag and drop for easy switching
All the essential parameters can be modulated
Advanced modulation system: modulate anything with anything
Graphical editing, source-based or destination-based
Envelopes, LFOs, Function generators, Random sources
4 assignable Macros to control multiple parameters at once
Visual interface: understand your sound
Graphical representation of the most important modules
Living, moving waveform to see your sound come alive
Polyrhythmic Sequencer and Arpeggiator: get creative
Create complex, custom and evolving sequences or arps
Extensive factory preset library: learn from the masters
Hundreds of presets from awesome artists and experienced sound designers, including Jeremy Savage, Starcadian, Cubic Spline, Mord Fustang, and Jörg Hüttner Highlighted "notes" to show which parameters are recommended to tweak.
