Pigments’ sound is generated by two Engines which sit top left of the instrument. There’s a handy Master level knob perched top right, just before the MIDI controller configuration view. Further along are the global views - Synth, FX and Seq - to access the different layers of Pigments. Here, you can enter a preset and performance view with minimal visual distractions, or use the drop-down menus to the right to select presets by type or alphabetical order. So, let’s break it down in a orderly fashion.Īt the very top of the instrument are the global controls, as per Arturia’s V Collection instruments. It’s a busy GUI with all manner of waves, colours and shapes poking through. You’d be forgiven if you felt a little overwhelmed the first time you laid eyes on Pigments. Having spent a little while with Pigments, it certainly takes the cake as Arturia’s most impressive all-in-one synth instrument.

Perhaps because it already has a wealth of ‘flavours’ covered in its V Collection series, Pigments is less about mastering a particular style of synthesis and more about giving the modern creative a ridiculous range of options.

So why has it taken this long to develop a software synth of its own creation? The company ostensibly built a reputation on its realistic software recreations of vintage synthesisers, and it’s carved out a name for itself in the hardware synth realm with the Brute collection. Pigments is a surprising first for Arturia.
