Achieve classic analogue style sounds or come up with something completely new, the choice is yours.Ĭheck out Noisegate’s own Tristan putting Pigments through its paces below. Arturia’s first software synthesiser that isn’t a vintage emulation, Pigments brings an incredibly flexible wavetable engine, modulation matrix and arpeggiator/sequencer to a clear interface that makes complex sound design a breeze. Pigments was released in December 2018, to much critical acclaim. Both are very good synths and you could make good music with either. Serum can load samples but in a much more basic way and the results are not that impressive. Pigments has the ability to load samples and also has a granular engine if you are into granular synthesis. There's thousands of third party packs available, some of which are free. Splice also gives you a convenient 3-day grace period if you decide the plugin doesn’t work for you. If you like to use presets, Serum is a good choice.

We’ve seen a number of manufacturers dipping their toes in this service, Pigments joins the likes of Xfer’s Serum synth, iZotope’s Ozone mastering suite and Output’s Movement fx unit. So it’s very welcome news that Arturia’s latest software synthesiser Pigments, is now available to purchase via Splice‘s rent-to-own payment plan. The second can be found found in the FX section of the plugin, without the real-time visualization. The main one has over 50 filter types, with superb real-time visual feedback. Saving for gear and software sucks, nobody likes the waiting game. In comparison, Serum has 2 distinct filter sections.
