7/19/2023 0 Comments Arturia pigments 2 review![]() Obviously, it’s slightly more expensive than the original, and it’s just slightly harder to use due to an increased number of selectable and customizable settings. I'm confident that if I did not, and would not, already have Omnisphere, I'd buy Pigments 2 very quickly for < $100. The Pigments 2 is the brand-new, upgraded, re-polished version of Arturia’s original Pigments PSS that brings a huge array of new features and benefits to the table. ![]() But I'm even on the fence about buying it for $69 when I already have Omnisphere and some others. I've used Pigments, but not v2, and not intensively. I may be underestimating, but Omnisphere can have something like 48 different layers going at once with up to 512 voices and a total of 300+ modulations simultaneously, plus as many built-in effects as your computer can stand before it's brought to its knees. How do these presets come about? From people designing sounds from scratch. Hats off to Arturia I hope they will continue to develop software of their own design. Yet there is still enough depth and thoughtful, musical features to keep the most demanding sound designer happy. Very intuitive, with great visualization and feedback.Again, Omnisphere is a synth that can use samples and has a lot of built-in effects, and happens to come with a bazillion presets with a bazillion more available for purchase from third parties. Pigments is an absolute pleasure to use and never feels confusing or intimidating thanks to its excellent interface. Two main engine slots with: Analog engine with 3 virtual analog oscillators Wavetable engine Sample/Granular engine Harmonic engine with additive synthesis. ![]() I have never used Omnisphere, but I think it's good to be used with tons of presets it's packed with while Pigments (I use it intensively from it's release date) is great synth to design sounds from scratch.
