When Arturia’s Pigments synth launched back in 2018, it was already built on pretty solid foundations. Combining elements of wavetable and virtual analogue synthesis, the original Pigments took much of what the French developer had learned via two decades of slowly expanding and updating its V Collection emulations, and applied it to an original instrument designed to hold its own against ‘power synths’ like Serum or Phase Plant.
Since launch, the capabilities of Pigments have expanded significantly, thanks to a regular stream of annual updates that have, laudably, all arrived as free upgrades for existing owners.
