Just to be clear - I'm not looking to argue - I just felt you were under representing its capabilities a bit. When I downloaded it, it honestly bolded me over. I was up till 4am playing with it
I hope you're right thought - and also hope that this is the beginning of a new 'platform' that Arturia expand into the future in an Omnisphere kind of way.
The chances for that are fair - Arturia have developed multiple versions of all their plugins to date; while their 'Lab' environment have also been enhanced significantly over the years.
I was just looking to emphasise that I do think as is, this is a seriously impressive software synthesizer. It's genuinely going to become important in my work. |

Checked it as well and will not buy it, although the UI is among the best I have seen in a long time.
The reason I don't need it is simple: after already using Serum, Synthmaster and Massive (and other wavetable synths), I fail to hear much overhwelming new sonic territory from Pigments. Already using the mentioned synths and Omnisphere, I don't see much room left for something like Pigments in my personal use.
Anyways, to all Pigments buyers: have fun with it! _________________ Kronos 73 - Moog Voyager RME - Moog LP TE - Behringer Model D - Prophet 6 - Roland Jupiter Xm - Rhodes Stage 73 Mk I - Elektron Analog Rytm MkII - Roland TR-6s - Cubase 12 Pro + Groove Agent 5 |

With that arsenal of plugins - you likely do not need Pigments! (I have Omnisphere but the others you mention I don't have but would also love to acquire). Too many to buy !!! |

Kevin, no argument from me that it is an amazing synth on all levels, from sound to polyphony to programming. With my previous post I just wanted to highlight that hardware offering will always be vastly more expensive due to elements such as physical filters and control surfaces. I've yet to buy a physical filter that costs less than $200aud new (and that was for purely the filter, no follower or amp and not including the weirdarse Synthrotek Dirt thing I resently got). My 2-Pole was $350 so I can imagine how much adding 16 2/4 pole stereo filters adds to the cost of the Quantum. There is something about the sound of analogue filters that is unattainable with digital emulations of them and I feel that will drive the continued sale of instruments such as Waldorf's and Sequential's offerings. Maybe
What would be great is if Arturia was to port it to a mobile platform, making it available in far smaller footprint than required for fullblown computers and laptops, processor power requirements permitting. (Though I still love physical noodling, if only it didn't take 15min to set up complex patches with my current work environment!) _________________ Stuff I'm using: Umm right now, well there's a Volca Drum, a Micro Freak, an ADX-1, a Pulse, a Blofeld, a UNO Drum, KeyStep/Beatstep Pro/Keystep Pro (one of each), a Circuit, a LiveTrak L-12 and this nonsense: The Brief-case as it was about a bit over a year ago (the the complete ridiculous GAS monster collection here)and here |
