More Unison options: The Unison control is now uniform across all engines, with the addition of a Unison Phase control for Wavetable and Sample voices. Harmonic engine: Uncover new harmonic territory and pitch alterations with Phase Modulation, and give your patch a subtle organic edge with the option to randomize the phase of the engine’s partials. Wavetable engine: Sprinkle some warbling tremolo movement and metallic character by swapping frequency modulation for the new Ring Mod feature, and harnessing a new Pulse Width mode for the Phase Transformation section.

MTS-ESP microtuning compatibility: Pigments is now compatible with ODDSound’s microtuning software MTS-ESP, designed in conjunction with Aphex Twin. New sync modes: Create dynamic rhythmic ideas by blurring the lines between straight, triplet, and dotted sync within Pigments’ modulators. LFO presets: For when you need a quick and simple modulation, Pigments’ LFOs now come with 6 familiar waveform presets, from sine to random.įX & Seq bypass: If you need to focus and check the synth engines, you can now quickly bypass both the FX and Seq sections from the Synth and Play Mode views. Quick modulation editing: Single-click visual modulation just got easier: you can now simply click and drag your modulation source to its destination, and quickly adjust its depth by hovering over the parameter. Light Mode: If you prefer working with brighter interfaces with more contrast, opt for a less nocturnal vibe and enjoy a sleek off-white redesign. New graphical interface: Easier to navigate than ever, Pigments’ design has been totally optimized for quick, intuitive, and enjoyable sound exploration. We also go through some simple sound design tools and show off some of the impressive new presets from Pigments’ new sound banks.

In this video, I explore the new Quick Modulation editing feature which allows you to drag and drop modulation sources onto destinations creating quick and easy modulation routing. With over 400 new presets across 3 new sound banks to explore, Pigments is a deep instrument perfect for sound designers and producers alike. It has been updated with new looks, improved workflow features, a huge number of new effects and enhanced engines. Arturia have released a free update to their self-described ‘Polychrome’ software synth with Pigments 4.
