The version 3.5 update brings Pigments into a new era of sound, exploring the colours, textures, and energies current in electronic music production today, from trap to grime to future bass. Here’s what’s new:

  • CrossMod
    Introduce cross modulation between engines 1 and 2. Either engine can be used as a modulation source, with a number of parameters to customise 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 wavefolding, 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 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.
  • Enhanced Sample Engine Browser
    This now features subfolders and one-click sample preview.
  • Streamlined GUI
    A number of subtle menu redesigns and workflow improvements to streamline your sound design process.
  • 150+ New Factory Presets
    Pigments 3.5 introduces 150 new patches exploring the massive potential of new features like CrossMod, Comb Filter, and more.
