Pigments’ free update takes Pigments to a new level of sound design as it explores the new textures that electronic music producers continue to bring to life, reports Ask.Audio.

For those who haven’t yet explored Pigments, it’s truly a blank canvas. With Pigments, it’s a wavetable synthesizer where we can control and combine multiple sound generators for a variety of results. One generator contains up to over 80 wavetables! Not to mention over 1200 presets of ready-made sounds that Pigments comes with.

So, what’s new with Pigments 3.5?

CrossMod

Introduce cross-modulation between engines 1 and 2. Either engine can be used as a modulation source, with a number of parameters to customize for wild harmonics, unusual waveforms, and extreme sonic results.

New Distortion Module

Pigments 3.5’s new Distortion Module combines 16 modes of distortion with built-in filtering, for everything from bubbling germanium fuzz to jagged wave folding, soft saturation or pure filth.

Expanded Comb Filter

Pigments’ comb filter now comes with 3 new damped modes; LP6, BP6, and HP6. These filter out certain frequencies in the feedback loop for unique sounds like ambient plucks, shimmering bowed leads, and much more.

Apple M1 compatibility

Enjoy native support for Apple’s next-generation M1 processors, ensuring flawless Pigments performance on the latest macOS machines.

New Wavetables

Pigments 3.5 features dozens of new wavetables inspired by molecular structures, mineral textures, and aggressive modern timbres.
