Wavetable mode now has Phase transform now has a “pulse width” mode, which slices the wave in half and stretches the two halves apart, and freq mod section now includes a ring mod option. OSC IMPROVEMENTS: Unfortunately we don’t get a full new oscillator engine this time around, but Arturia have added a couple little features to the existing Osc section. They’ve also made a couple additions to the bitcrusher module adding input and output filters, jitter, and precision scaling (which I’m honestly not 100% sure what this does yet, I’ll update this if I find out)

The shimmer is nice and luscious, and can be pitched both up and down at the same time. Also there is a new Shimmer Reverb, which pitch shifts the signal in the reverb feedback for blooming tones. On the digital side, we get a new “Super Unison” effect which copies the incoming signal and detunes the copies to replicate unison, this can be a nice touch for extra spread and smear, but without the usual chorusing motion, really nice addition. NEW FX: A couple interesting items to note here, first of all, the new MS-20 Filter gives yet another touch of analog character options to pigments.

Answering a question I’ve forgotten to ask in regards to modulation systems, “why not both?”, the New drag and drop system, does not replace the old mode based system.

They’ve added yet another new filter, some minor oscillator improvements, and a couple new effects, as well as various presets and other improvements including drag and drop modulation. You might also notice a new “nueomorphic” stylization to some buttons. Here are some of my thoughts on the update, I’m not going to cover every new feature, but will go into a bit more detail on all the new things I personally found exciting.Īrturia have added a new ”light mode” and “play view”, bringing it even closer to their Augmented line. 0 title change, Likewise, this review will be rather short, though I do plan a FULL Pigments review in the future. This update is a bit smaller than previous ones, but if we include the 3.5 update along with this one, which included new a new filter and many new distortions, it’s enough to warrant a full. Arturia has brought yet another free update to their flagship software synthesizer Pigments.
