14th Jan 2019
An immensely powerful wavetable and virtual analog software synthesizer from Arturia, 20 years in the making. This is Pigments.
Taking that spark of imagination and transforming it into sound is the most fundamental, exhilarating part of creating music. Pigments makes that process natural, intuitive, and colorful.
Intuitive Lightning Fast Workflow
Powerful Awesome Sounding Architecture
Amazing Legendary Artist Presets
Pigments features a twin audio engine, letting you mix virtual analog and wavetable oscillators to create the perfect starting point for your patch. You can even morph wavetables, or import your own.
What you do next is up to you. Experiment with 3 envelopes, 3 LFOs, and 3 function generators. Assign modulators to animate your sound, and breathe life into it. Add controlled, or totally wild random changes to any parameter with a Turing probability generator. Run it through 2 filters, with any combination of iconic analog filters or modern formant and surgeon filters you want. Process your patch with exciting contemporary effects like wavefolder and multifilter, or vintage studio reverbs, delays, and EQs.
Making A Masterpiece
For 20 years, Arturia have been analyzing, emulating, and refining the most iconic synthesizers ever made.
Working with Dr Robert Moog, Cameron Jones, and many other industry legends, they have built their reputation on creating world-class instruments. They turned the music industry on its head with the release of our trailblazing, affordable analog hardware synthesizer, the MiniBrute.
With multiple awards under our belt, you could say that they’ve done our homework. Pigments combines their passion for vintage FM and analog sound with modern wavetable synthesis to create what is, to them, the ultimate software synth.
