Arturia’s Pigments 6 (What's New?)
What’s New in Pigments 6?
Pigments 6 opens the doors to a world of new sound-building potential. The innovative Modal Engine allows for the creation of physically inspired tones, from delicate acoustic plucks to rich orchestral string sections. Additionally, the updated Granular Engine, new filters (Multimode V2, Cluster, and LoFi), and a revamped modulation system push the boundaries of what’s possible in sound design.
Modal Engine
At the heart of Pigments 6 lies the new Modal Engine, which lets you create stunning, physically modeled sounds with ease. Whether you’re crafting soft, resonant acoustic plucks or full-fledged string sections, the Modal Engine makes it possible to achieve a wide range of expressive tones.
Vocoder Effect
Pigments 6 introduces a highly-anticipated vocoder effect, which lets you take your sounds to a whole new level. This versatile effect can inject everything from classic robotic vocal timbres to avant-garde vocal textures, modulated by external audio or internal signals from different points in the audio path.
New Filters
Pigments 6 features an array of exciting new filters:
- Multimode V2 – An analog-infused filter with more creative possibilities.
- Cluster Filter – Designed for evolving, swirling textures.
- LoFi Filter – Adds a vintage, crunchy flavor to your sounds.
These new filters give you endless creative freedom in shaping your tones.
Granular Improvements
The Granular Engine has also been enhanced. You can now scan through samples mid-playback for time-stretching atmospheres, randomize grain playback for each note, and adjust grain sizes to create fluid, evolving textures.
New Modulators
Pigments 6 gives you more expressive power with new modulators, including:
- Voice Modulator – Adds more depth to your patches.
- Envelope Follower – Tracks external audio to shape your sound.
- Revamped Functions – Now capable of generating new curves for modulation.
