Storm has long since been retired, but now Arturia are returning to their roots with a software synthesizer entirely of their own design. Since then they've successfully moved into the hardware market with synths, drum machines, MIDI controllers and audio interfaces. Their first product was a complete software music studio called Storm, but it wasn't until they began to focus on software recreations of classic hardware synths such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, Roland Jupiter 8, ARP 2600 and Moog Minimoog that the company really took off.

Here we can see LFO 2, in yellow, is modulating Wavefolding Amount and Filter 2 Frequency Shift.Īrturia built their reputation on software recreations of classic synths, now they're back with one of their own.Īrturia have been in the virtual instrument business for 20 years. To show off the new features, our team of heroic sound designers have created hundreds of breathtaking new sounds for you to explore and use in your tracks.Pigments isn't just a pretty name, it makes excellent use of colour to differentiate modulation sources. What would an update be without little improvements here and there? New interface, MPE capability, new undo/redo functionality and enhanced modulation bar await you. We've added the iconic sound of the Buchla Easel low pass gate and a space-age tape echo to Pigments' sonic arsenal, for some seriously nice warping, contorting analog flavor.

The in-built sequencer now lets you apply randomness in a non-destructive way, letting you always return back to where you started, perfect for live performance and improvisation.

Loop, edit, and bring them to life with Pigments' modulation abilities.Īdd another level to your sound design by transforming samples into granular synth patches at the touch of a button, adjust density, envelope, size, and exciting randomization parameters. This is Pigments, and it's going to change the way you make music.Įxplore hundreds of samples, import your own, load them into one of 6 different slots with 6 playback modes. An immensely powerful wavetable and virtual analog software synthesizer, 20 years in the making.
