In the upper-left is a search function to find a preset by its name. A number of template presets are included to help get you started in a certain direction.
There are also several style selections to choose from as well, such as Ambient, Bizarre, Funky, etc. There are many categories available such as Pad, Brass, Lead, etc. Speaking of presets, you can easily browse through them using the browser menu along the top of the display. Also, just like with the other Arturia plugins, the display can be resized to make the best fit with your monitor. Several effects are also on board and over 600 presets are included to get you started. LFOs, envelopes, Random generators and Combinators let you achieve some powerful modulations in no time. Pigments has two filters with several types to choose from using serial or parallel settings. Finally, you can use VA and WT together to get the best of both worlds. There are three ways you can use the two engines: You can have two wavetables (switch each engine to WT) in use at once, or you might want to use a six-oscillator VA type of setup (both engines set to VA). Over 100 wavetables are included and you can import your own as well. The wavetable section has unison, frequency modulation, phase distortion and wave folding. It is based upon a dual audio engine, either of which can use a wavetable-based or a standard virtual analog three-oscillator type. It really feels alive while working with Pigments since there are many colorful and animated sections in the display to give you instant visual feedback. After working with it for this review I felt one reason the word “Polychrome” was chosen was that it features an impressive multi-colored display. It is available in Standalone, VST 2.4, VST 3, AAX, Audio Unit (64-bit DAWs only) and authorization is by way of the Arturia Software Center.Īrturia calls Pigments a Polychrome Software Synthesizer. For this review I will be looking at the new synthesizer plugin called Pigments. Arturia also offers software effects, audio interfaces and hardware synthesizers. These can be purchased separately or in the cost-saving V Collection of music software which gives you over twenty plugins of all types to use in your own productions. Some of their many software titles include CS-80 V, Mini V, Matrix-12 V, DX7 V, Buchla Easel V and Synclavier V.
This new Arturia virtual synth may have just what it takes for you to bring your music to the next level.Īrturia is a well-known music software/hardware company based in France.
