What’s new in Pigments 6
Explore the next chapter in Pigments’ evolution, where a powerful new Modal engine meets enhanced filters, modulators, and creative tools for unprecedented sound design freedom.

• NEW Modal Engine Experience physically-modeled tones using beam or string resonators, from delicate plucked strings to richly resonant pads. A bold new dimension in hybrid synthesis.
• NEW Filters Broaden your palette with an analog-infused Multimode V2, the stacked Cluster filter for swirling textures, and LoFi for crunchy, vintage-style coloration.
• NEW Vocoder Effect Inject everything from classic robotic timbres to avant-garde vocal textures into your patches. Modulate it with external audio or with a chosen engine or filter.
• NEW Modulators Elevate expression with new per-voice modulation assignment, audio-driven envelope triggering, and generate new curves with revamped Functions.
• NEW Granular Improvements Scan through samples mid-playback for time-stretching atmospheres, randomize grain playback for each note, and adjust grain size for fluid, evolving textures.
• UX & UI enhancements Refine modulations with an updated drag-and-drop workflow, explore an improved file browser, and enjoy a refreshed layout including a polished light theme!
