Without doubt, one of the exceptional strengths of Pigments is its ability to easily modulate just about any aspect of a sound that you wish. (Image credit: Arturia ) Old and new mod cons Pigments already sounded pretty fruity to us, but these enhancements provide added value to an already classy core. Wavetable now sports Ring Mod, while there have been significant improvements to the Unison operation across all sound engines. Some of the enhancements of Pigments v4 exist through a number of improvements within the sound engine department. You’ll also find a Utility engine, to add further colour, such as White noise. The Sample engine allows basic sample playback, alongside a plethora of granular controls, while Harmonics operates as a highly adaptable additive oscillator, also with plenty of control. Wavetable provides a superb source, with plenty of scope for modulation across several aspects of wavetable operation, from wave travel to morphing, and all with helpful graphics to guide your editing. The next level up from our own ZebraCM provides complex wave structures and modulation routing options at an affordable price. A synthesizer that provides frequency modulation en masse.
