Arturia Pigments v1.2.1 / v1.2.1.617 WiN MacOSX

Arturia has announced its latest software synthesizer Pigments, a hybrid “polychrome” instrument that features hugely powerful, cutting-edge wavetable synthesis alongside Arturia’s 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:

Scale 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.
Polyrhythmic sequencer with a strong emphasis on randomness, with scale control to remain musical.

At a glance, here are its key features:

Two engines in parallel: the best of both worlds
Virtual Analog triple oscillator engine.
Complex Wavetable engine with morphing and import.
Twin filters: dozens to choose from
Classic filters from V Collection instruments.
Modern filters like surgeon and comb.
Continuous series/parallel routing.
Powerful effects section: an all-in-one solution
13 stunning effects, including wavefolder, overdrive, parametric EQ, and delay.
Insert or Send routing options with drag and drop for easy switching.
All the essential parameters can be modulated.
Advanced modulation system: modulate anything with anything
Graphical editing, source-based or destination-based.
Envelopes, LFOs, Function generators, Random sources.
