The best sound design workflow yet

Quick modulation editing

Single-click visual modulation just got easier: you can now simply click and drag your modulation source to its destination, and quickly adjust its depth by hovering over the parameter.

Quicker feature navigation

LFO presets

For when you need a quick and simple modulation, Pigments’ LFOs now come with 6 familiar waveform presets, from sine to random.

FX & Seq bypass

If you need to focus and check the synth engines, you can now quickly bypass both the FX and Seq sections from the Synth and Play Mode views.

New sync modes

Create dynamic rhythmic ideas by blurring the lines between straight, triplet, and dotted sync within Pigments’ modulators.

MTS-ESP microtuning compatibility

Pigments is now compatible with ODDSound’s microtuning software MTS-ESP, designed in conjunction with Aphex Twin.

Enhanced engines

Take Pigments’ multi-engine voice further with additional creative features.

Wavetable engine

Sprinkle some warbling tremolo movement and metallic character by swapping frequency modulation for the new Ring Mod feature, and harness a new Pulse Width mode for the Phase Transformation section.

Harmonic engine

Uncover new harmonic territory and pitch alterations with Phase Modulation, and give your patch a subtle organic edge with the option to randomize the phase of the engine’s partials.

More Unison options

The Unison control is now uniform across all engines, with the addition of a Unison Phase control for Wavetable and Sample voices.

Modulator Oscillator

Go deeper into the dedicated Mod Osc with Ratio options and an extended hertz range from 0.100 to 20,000.

New effects & filters

Throw additional colors into the mix with more choice than ever.

MS-20 Filter
