NEW IN PIGMENTS V3.5: New CrossMod
Pigments 3.5 introduces CrossMod, allowing you to create versatile frequency modulation behavior between both active engines. This explosive evolution of Pigments' sonic abilities digs deeper into the metallic, razor-sharp, and straight-up massive sounds of drum & bass, grime, dubstep, and beyond.
NEW IN PIGMENTS V3.5: New Distortion Module
Pigments 3.5’s new Distortion Module combines 16 modes of distortion with built-in filtering for easy access to whatever flavor and degree of grit you desire. Crank or pulverize your patches with everything from bubbling germanium fuzz to jagged wavefolding, soft saturation or pure filth.
NEW IN PIGMENTS V3.5: New Expanded Comb Filter
Pigments 3.5 expands its Comb Filter with new damped modes: LP6, BP6, and HP6. These modes filter out certain frequencies in the feedback loop, giving you expanded control over the Comb Filter's behavior. Elevate your mixes with ambient plucks, shimmering bowed leads, grinding metallic bass, and much more.
Engines to drive any sound
Play with additive, wavetable, granular, and virtual analog synthesis — all in one intuitive plugin. Generate that extra oomph in your track with an additional sub-oscillator. Add noise players, and explore boundless modulation. Whatever sound you’re after, Pigments 3 can help you realize it.
Classic Arturia Filters
Pigments 3 includes dozens of famed filters from Arturia’s V Collection — dead-on emulations of classic hardware filters like the Jup-8, M12, SEM, and Mini — which means you'll be able to produce warm, analog lines that feel both fresh and familiar.
Fantastic FX
Pigments 3 comes loaded with new, highly requested FX like the multi-band compressor, the BL-20 Flanger, and the Chorus Jun-6, taken from Arturia’s Juno-6 emulation. Other FX include: EQ, reverb, delay, overdrive, bitcrushers, phasers, and more.
Pro level presets
Get your hands on hundreds of presets designed by professional artists and sound designers, including Robert Dudzig, Jeremy Savage, Starcadian, Cubic Spline, Mord Fustang, and Jörg Hüttner. Explore presets intuitively and filter your results by genre and type within the preset browser.
Move at the speed of sound
Pigments 3 is easy to understand thanks to its color-coded interface — any tweak is just a colorful click away. With intelligent features like macro controls, chord generation, and poly sequencers, you can mix up an endless variety of sounds without breaking a sweat.
Product Information
- Overview
- Arturia, the seasoned creators of electronic instruments that augment the past with the future, could retire now as legends. Their software and hardware, already considered indispensable by many big-name artists and producers, finds itself at the center of most studio setups and can be heard on countless award-winning records and chart-climbing tracks.
- Pigments is Arturia's newest synth. It's the poly-chromatic culmination of their vision. It mixes their warm, circuit-accurate analog models and effects with the wickedness of wavetable synthesis—the result is a sound that's not tied up in tradition, without being cold or clinical.
- More importantly, Pigments makes sound design feel more like sound painting. The layout is intuitive. Your workflow won't get in the way of your creative flow, and you'll have more room for experimenting which means finding surprising—and surprisingly beautiful—sounds.
