I have everything else that Arturia does and this is not going to be making it into my arsenal. To say I was disappointed wit this release is an understatement. Certainly not as smooth as either Avenger or Serum. The programming of a lot of the sounds has nasty artifacts when the wavetables loop back around. This one is not a straight forward ”make music out of the box” VI and not for us.Īgreed to all and then some. I mean how many VI does a small studio guy need, get some of the great Serum or Avanger expansions instead and make your own presets. Just because there is a new VI released doesn’t mean everyone is gonna have to have it. I could see people who make soundscapes for film And TV etc but both Avenger and Serum is a way better choice with better sounding programming.Īll IMHO of course and some will disagree which is OK Got it from a friend who had several NFR and all I can say is skip this one no matter how good people think Arturias emulations of other synths are. Don't know if an end user can import their own waveforms into the additive engine though.Ĭurrent price is $149 US slated to go up to $199 at some point in the future. The owner of this channel had access to an early version and has put up a couple of videos on it.Īpparently one can import their own wavetables. Would suggest taking a look at some YouTube videos on this. The modulation routing scheme is a bit strange as well. The demo is time limited to 20 minutes at a time and one can't save tweaks to patches. Granted Pigments's second engine can be either wavetable or 3 oscillator additive but still. Now understand that I don't have Serum but have demo'd that in the past (ended up going with Avenger) but the Pigments sound just doesn't seem to have the same sound quality that Serum has. Downloaded the demo and am a bit disappointed.
Looks like it covers a lot of the same ground that Serum does. For the first time Arturia has come out with a synth that's NOT a model of anything that exists or has existed and it's called Pigments.
