Pigments is a virtual synthesizer that combines 4 different synth engines as its core sound, coupled with several filters, modulations and effects options in a single environment. I’ll try to keep things resumed, but with something as big as it is, it might be a problem. Pigments is one of those software synthesizers that is powerful enough to produce pretty much anything you might expect when it comes to synthetic (and even realistic) sounds, with a comprehensive and accessible interface that only adds to whole package. In 2018 they’ve finally made the incursion into something other than emulating older gear and creating something entirely new and inspiring – this was the release of Pigments, which has been updated and improved continuously since then. For a long time they’ve been making excellent ports on synthesizers from the past into the VST realm and several improvements were brought to life in pretty much all of Analog V Collection versions.
Which seems necesary becasue it seems to alreasy eating up some CPU and doing more complex signalchain might have killed the project on that front.Arturia is probably one of the most known companies when it comes to synthesizers, both software and hardware.
The strenghts come from fact you have virtual analagoe and wavetable and granular and you can combine them as you prefer and that modulation is very easy, good arp, you have versatile signalflows (compensating for rather rigid audio flow). Also the wave shaping stuff has less abilities than the contour. Its a synth foptimized for people who can not think modular.Įven the massive had some routing, here its just 2 OSC -> 2 Filter -> FX (2 Buses), so in that regard weaker than massive X and dont get me started on phaseplant. Here you have your box (SEM filter with it most important knobs) you can switch it on, off or change it to another filter. It looks pleasent, but clearly its optimized for usefulness: everything you need now is visible and gives you feedback how the value do progress (unlike massive X). it misses a few things the old massive (let alone the massive X) has and its UI is rather pragmatic that beautiful.
