Essential Information About Pigments 7 Software
- 6 complementary sound engines (VA, Wavetable, Sample & Granular, Harmonic, Modal + Utility engine) for modern, limitless sound design.
- Visual workflow with color-coded interface, redesigned Play window, and drag-and-drop modulations for faster and better editing.
- Next-generation creative filters and effects, including Filter Rage, Filter Ripple, Reverb Filter, and the new Corroder effect for powerful textures.
- Integrated composition tools: generative sequencer/arpeggiator, performance macros, and ready-to-play presets for all current styles.
What Pigments 7 Is For
Pigments 7 is a software synthesizer designed to create contemporary sounds with unprecedented speed and clarity. From cinematic pads to club basses, EDM leads to granular textures and lo-fi atmospheres, it covers hip-hop, trap, bass music, house, electro, electronica, and music for picture production. Its preset library and simplified controls allow you to start from an inspiring sound and then refine every detail with just a few gestures.
Main Features
Multi-engine architecture, sonic power
Combine two engines in parallel from the
three-oscillator Virtual Analog, the
complex Wavetable, the
Sample & Granular, the
additive Harmonic oscillator, and the
physical modeling Modal. Add the
Utility engine (sub-oscillator, two noises, audio input) and
cross-modulation to sculpt rich and evolving timbres.
Lightning-fast modulation and visual feedback
Assign envelopes, morphing LFOs, function generators, random sources, and combiners via drag-and-drop.
Modulation ranges are now visually displayed for immediate editing, while an
optimized CPU frees up headroom to layer engines and effects. Amplitude envelopes with an
S-curve profile reduce clicks and enhance punch.
Characterful filters and effects
Stack
two filters (16 types, 59 modes) with continuous series/parallel routing, including models inherited from iconic instruments. The new
Filter Rage,
Filter Ripple, and
Reverb Filter open abrasive territories, intense phasers, and thick timbres. On the effects side, 2 insert effect buses + 1 Send/Return bus (3 slots each) and 20 algorithms, from
Shimmer Reverb to
Vocoder and multiband distortion. The new
Corroder ranges from subtle erosion to wide saturation while preserving the signal's character.
Composition, performance, and navigation
The
generative sequencer/arpeggiator creates evolving and polymetric patterns, with an advanced random generator, lock function, and dedicated browser. The
Play window provides audio-reactive feedback (waveforms, envelopes, filters, modulations) to tweak a patch on the fly. Customize your setup with simplified routing, adjustable appearance,
preset playlists, and support for external audio sources.
