![]() The synth now sports a total of 18 effects, with some of them having been updated with improvements for Pigments 4. A Shimmer pitch-shift delay/reverb effect will have you design ambient sounds in no time, and there’s also a new Super Unison module that can double your signal up to 8 times, and detune, modulate and stereo-spread the sound. The considerable collection of filter types sees the addition of a resonant MS-20 filter, great for making sounds scream. The factory library has been expanded with more presets (now at a total of 1,400), wavetables, samples and noises, and the synth comes with an updated wavetable engine (ring modulation and pulse width phase transformation) and harmonic engine (phase modulation and partial randomization), as well as a few new effects. Especially when we're talking about the sort of crisp digital sounds of a wavetable synth or even the harmonic engine.The advanced color-coded modulation system now lets you drag and drop modulation sources directly to destinations, and other workflow improvements include compatibility with ODDSound’s MTS-ESP microtuning, new LFO waveform presets, and bypass buttons for the FX and sequencer in the top toolbar. Those aren't the kinds features that inspire fawning headlines, but they can add a lot of depth and nuance to your sounds. This new third layer to a sound is specifically for adding noise and sub bass. Personally I think the most exciting addition is the utility engine. It also has dual morphing formant filters that can sand off some of the harsh edges, allowing you to get vowel like sounds. ![]() A little bit of detune and reverb can go a long way here. I'm especially a fan when it comes to low bassy growls and drones. ![]() ![]() ![]() The results are often reedy or organ-like. The TL DR version is that it uses a combination of sinewaves at different frequencies to generate harmonic overtones. Harmonic additive synthesis is not a particular common method for sound generation, but it can be quite fun and unique. That harmonic engine is probably the headlining feature of Pigments 3. ![]()
