Arturia'sPigments updated to version 3.5Now that I've done it, I'll explain the contents of the update.
The update speed is fast.
What's more, the enhancements are wonderful and I'm really surprised.
WaveTable has also been strengthened, and it has come to make a fairly intense sound.
(Although I haven't gotten to the point of destroying Serum's stronghold yet)
Arturia Pigments version 3.5 update description
New CrossMod
Creating unique sound behaviors and complex tones Cross-modulation with cross-modulation between engines 1 & 2 produces wild harmonics, unusual waveforms, and extreme acoustic results by using one sound source to modulate another. This is the simplest method. Pigments 3.5 introduces CrossMod, which allows you to create a variety of frequency modulation behaviors between both active engines.This explosive evolution of Pigments' sound capabilities digs deeper into metallic, sharp, and straightforward, massive sounds such as drums and bass, grime, and dubstep.
A cross modulation function has been added.
It is now possible to set the modulation on engine XNUMX and engine XNUMX.
When you play the following video, it will be played from the cross modulation function.
I actually tried it.
The setting can be done in the red frame part in the figure below.
New Distortion Module
16 versatile distortion algorithms in one component The term "distortion" has evolved from broken speaker cones and clipped analog circuits.Today, it's a flexible sound design tool, from subtle overtone changes to unrecognizable shattered sounds. Pigments 1's new distortion module combines 3.5 distortion modes with built-in filtering for easy access to any flavor or degree of grit.From germanium fuzz to jagged wave folding, soft saturation and pure filth, you can crank and shatter your patches.
It's good that there are 16 types.
When you play the following video, it will be played from the distortion.
I actually tried it.
This is pretty good!
I think that each character is different and easy to use.
This is like Arturia-san.
New Expanded Comb Filter
Comb Filter, a versatile sound design tool that goes beyond traditional filter behavior, can mimic the natural sound wave behavior of acoustic instruments and create SF-like sound effects with feedback delay adjustments. Pigments 3.5 adds a new attenuation mode to the Comb Filter. LP6, BP6, HP6.These modes filter specific frequencies in the feedback loop, giving you more control over the behavior of the Comb Filter.Improve your mix with ambient plaques, bow-playing leads, metallic basses and more.
When you play the following video, it will be played from the comb filter.
Three new items have been added.
I actually tried it.
This is also good!
Enhanced Sample Engine Browser
Finding the right samples and organizing your library has never been easier with Pigments' sample engine.The browser has been expanded with subfolders so that you can preview all the samples with a click.
I actually tried it.
No, it's wonderful.
Apple M1 Compatibility
Pigments 3.5 has native support for Apple's next-generation M1 processor and has been upgraded to ensure smooth and perfect performance on the latest macOS machines.See the FAQ for details.
Streamlined UI / UX
Pigments 3.5 includes a number of subtle design changes and workflow improvements to streamline the sound design process.Pigments 3.5 is easier, faster, and more reliable with menu tweaks and simplified navigation.
New Wavetables
Pigments 3.5 introduces a number of new wavetables inspired by molecular structures, mineral textures and aggressive modern tones, giving today's electronic music producers an ever-expanding palette.
I made a video of how to access WaveTable added in Ver3.5.
New Factory Presets
Pigments 3.5 introduces 150 new patches created by in-house sound designers and world-class producers, exploring the great potential of new features such as CrossMod, Comb Filter, and new wavetables.
We have prepared a video of how to access the presets added in Ver3.5.
Summary
It's getting a little better.
As for WaveTable, it's still not as good as Serum, but other features are too great.
Moreover, if the sale price is $ 99, it will be one of the top XNUMX recommended soft synths.
The only unfortunate part is the CPU load.
There are many presets that are quite heavy overall, so that's all.
The rest is already highly recommended.
