Pigments is the latest software synthesizer from instrument creators Arturia. Combining the best of two worlds, it features hugely powerful, cutting-edge wavetable synthesis alongside their award-winning virtual analog technology.
After spending 20 years analyzing and emulating the best synthesizers ever made, they have now used their expertise to create an original, uniquely Arturia software synthesizer. Pigments offers exceptional sound thanks to its hugely powerful architecture and lightning-fast workflow that makes complex modulations easy, fast, and fun.
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:
AScale 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
