I'll venture to guess that you're going to be disappointed. Lots of bog average products get buzz words like revolutionary attached to their marketing materials.

I'm guessing it will be something more evolutionary than revolutionary. Kind of like how Pigments had some interesting ways to display modulations, but isn't in and of itself anything revolutionary.

But then there will be thousands of disappointed people, and it will hurt their buisness. Besides, on the facebook page, they mention a pricetag of 398 euros, which is very expensive for a soft synth, so it needs to be very revolutionary indeed, otherwise nobody will buy it.

That's the list price, your personal offer cross-grade price will never go lower than $199, until it does and you can get it for $99 at some point when the original text on their website will change from will never to probably won't.

Wow, that puts it even beyond the prices of Plugin Alliance and Waves.

I think you misread that. They said that they give away two licenses for the price of $398. So, it's $199 for the synth.

Interesting...I haven't heard of this until today. I will be on the look out for whatever it may be.

Ooops, I made a mistake indeed... Sorry ! It's "only" 199 euros. I don't understand spanish very well. By the way, I wonder why they give the world exclusivity to a spanish speaking site. French or English would make sense but why Spanish?

The desktop website automatically translated the text (badly) into German.

So it's the same price as Pigments 2, which was released in early 2020, a year after Pigments 1 came out...

It's totally just gonna be Pigments 3.

That "revolutionary" doesn't fit then though.

Rather sounds like an emulation of a synth which hasn't been done to death.

"French Wizard"?!?

(ah, FB translation... thought it was the name of the synth...)

Arturia Pigments 3 is out!
