Two new synthesis engines have been added: the Harmonic Engine and the Utility Engine. This synth, which comes in plug-in and standalone formats, offers a robust feature set-expanded in some significant ways in Pigments 3-and a variety of synth engines to mix and match. And Arturia is even including three new sound banks for free - Bass Thermal, Trap Chemical and EDM Kinetic.Arturia describes the newly released Pigments 3 as a “Polychrome Software Synthesizer,” meaning, according to the simple concept, that Pigments produces a wide range of synthesis colors.Īs soon as I heard some of the demos Arturia posted on the Pigments 3 Resource Page, and then got a chance to play it, it all made sense. If you haven't picked up Pigments yet, now is a pretty good time to, since it's on sale for $99 until January 6th. Pigments 3.5 is available now as a free upgrade for current owners. Lastly, Arturia made some tweaks to the UI that should streamline the workflow, including one-click sample preview. It has 16 different modes with built-in filtering for creating everything from the germanium fuzz of classic guitar pedals, to extreme digital wavefolding or even the soft saturation you'd get from a vintage preamp.Īnd if that's not enough new sound design options for you, there are dozens of new wavetables being added too, plus over 150 new presets that show off the power of the new features. While there have been options for adding dirt in Pigments before, this is a lot more versatile of an option. Arturia also fleshed out its comb filter which has three new modes (LP6, BP6 and HP6) that cleans up certain frequencies excelling at plucks and bowed sounds.Īrturia also added a new distortion module to the effects section. You can use either engine one or two as the mod source and dial in results that range from subtle weirdness to full on sonic freak outs.
The biggest change to the synth engine itself is probably the addition of a cross modulation feature.
