If you have $200 to spend on a synth better go with Zebra.
ARTURIA PIGMENTS PRESETS REDDIT FULL
Honestly I would not recommend Pigments at full price. It's a forum from like from 20 years ago with unreadable captchas and such. I reported the bugs to their forum which is just a hideous experience. These things are not the end of the world, but it's simply not the level of polish I'd expect from a $199 synth in 2020. I know some people like those things but I wish there was a setting to turn them off. I find the colorful animations of the modulators quite distracting. If you turn off the bus the effects still look like they are working, no indication in the UI other than a little on/off switch of the bus.
For example the effects are grouped into buses. It almost feels like they are using a web browser to render the UI. As of right now they are having a sale up until the 7th for 100.
The UI engine is kinda weird, not sure what they are using but it feels kinda laggy compared to other synths. I personally find that Pigments is a great and much cheaper alternative to Spectrasonics Omnisphere at a fraction of the cost. There are also some annoying clicks when playing legato notes in mono. It always renders in low DPI with blurry text and graphics regardless of the window size.
ARTURIA PIGMENTS PRESETS REDDIT WINDOWS 10
For example scaling on Windows 10 with a 4K monitor doesn't work. I played with it for an hour and already bumped into a couple of bugs. The CPU meter on Ableton Live only went up to about 30% so it seems efficient. The modulation options are very nice and powerful.ĬPU usage seems high when opening a single instance, but I did a little superficial benchmark and ran about 50 instances of Pigments. The filter options are great which is something I've missed from Hive. Everything sounds modern, clean, and precise. It's very Arturia, for a lack of a better word. So it turns out I had the $69 offer too so I jumped in and bought Pigments 2.
