The new sample based engine is a great add on to an already great synthesizer.Ī very musical instrument. Late last year Arturia updated the synth to a V2 with a sample engine featuring a granular synthesis option. There is some build in quality effects like Wavefolder, Compressor, reverb, and delay Pigments update It has lots of filters like Moog, SEM, and matrix 12 from V Collection plus some new ones.Ī dual-engine synthesizer with two filters, an effects section and a sequencer/arpeggiator. Compared to Massive X this is an easier synthesizer with a simpler GUI. Pigments is a modern digital analog synth build on Arturias V3 Host system. Two wavetable synths with an analog synth sound and lots of features.

Arturia Pigments and Native Instruments Massive X.

I can only say that this is just maybe one of the most 'all-good' (GUI, presets, preset browser, sound and sound engines, visualization, tutorials.) synths out there.Two Interesting new software synthesizer from 2019Ī quick look at two plugins from 2019. And as you are doing presets for yourself the included bank bundle (which I bought separately for the intro prize while I was lucky to get the upgrade with no cost) might not be that tempting too. That wont give you any useful info Nick, sorry about that, but I think your knowledge in sound design is so far away from mine I just wont be able to give any worthy advise on this. Aliens landed ? Where ? What ? Feeling: lost in space. Not that GREAT, One-of-a-kind GUI like Pigments but: at home.īut really: 'ugly' for Hive 2.1 ? Biotek 2 is very special (love the GUI or hate it), I agree with MSoundFactory (IF you call that a GUI and not a visualized command line.) and for me the REAL contrast is just Massive X. Now: the only other synth that comes to my mind with same impression is: Hive 2.1.

I just tried to find the right words to impress how 'friendly' the GUI appeals on me, just feeling home and comfortable. Click to expand.Great how different peoples impressions are.
