This means you can now choose between virtual analog, wavetable, sampler, or additive synthesis. A little NI Razor for Pigments but not that crazy.

From crystal clear bells, organic basses to complete harmonic chaos. The nice thing about additive synthesis is that it introduces a completely new sound palette. Plus odd and even harmonic customization, and various other ways to modulate the partials. Then, you get a dual formant filters section in the middle that offers morphing from A to B, odd. It adds a detailed additive synthesis with up to 512 partials that can be deformed and manipulated in various ways. The big highlight of this 3.0 update is a brand-new additive “harmonic oscillator” engine that you can now find in the oscillators. With Pigments 3.0, Arturia is showing another impressive free update for its all-in-one synthesizer plugin for macOS and Windows Not only its deep engine should be mentioned here but also the brilliant interface which is completely color-coded. Started as a competitor for Serum and others, Version 2.0 added sampler functionalities, granular synthesis, and classic analog-modeled filters, which made Pigments significantly more versatile and complex. Since its introduction in 2018, it has seen many impressive further developments. In Pigments 3, Arturia takes his sound explorers into the deep worlds of additive synthesis paired with a new filter, effects, sounds & more.Īrturia describes its multi-engine plugin as a polychromatic Synthesizer plugin.
