Is it me or have the preset next/last arrows stopped working? (stand alone)

new arturia release and once again no way to access the software center. what a tease. but awesome (free) update!

[abducted]

Has the overall cpu usage been improved in this new version ?

Software center doesn't work, but direct download from website did...

I don't know if they'll be any more reliable than using ASC, but there are direct download links on the Pigments resources page:

Confusingly, there's also this bit:

Now that you're the proud owner of 500 sounds tailor-made for Pigments 3, you just need to install them to unlock its full-color potential and get creative.

which I took to mean that they were giving Pigments 2 owners the Spectrum pack as well as the free upgrade to 3. So I went ahead and downloaded/installed all those too, but of course they don't show up in the Pigments preset browser because I don't actually own them. If it sounds too good to be true...

It's a great update though, for sure!

Where? I've owned Pigments since v1 but not seeing a bundle anywhere, just the individual soundsets in the store inside of Pigments.

Hi Kevin, That's not correct. I own Pigments and I get the message that says I should be able to buy the new preset pack for $19, but the BUY NOW button says: $49 (with $99 marked out) and if I click it, it plans to charge me $49.

I've done that, upgraded to Pigments 3 through ASC fine, but when logged in it just shows me to pay $49 to upgrade to Pigments 3 with free presets rather than this $19 preset offer.

Is this something to do with my original v1 Pigments license being a crossgrade deal that was running for V Collection owners when it first got released?

Jesus, what an update! And all those modulation bugs with the unison has been fixed too! Thank you guys.

I realized I had never even tried the demo of Pigments before. Partly because I've got a ton of other synths but party because of the requirement for the ASC. With the giveaways of the Juno Chorus and Rev Plate effects plugins I relented and installed the ASC. So now no excuse not to demo.

So I did and because of the near no-brainer cross grade deal I couldn't resist and picked up Pigments.

Nothing really ground breaking but it is a very nice synth and for the price there's no room for complaints.

Has the overall cpu usage been improved in this new version ?

Idk if it's just my perception but to me it actually feels worse in terms of CPU. A lot of these new presets are sending FL's CPU meter (yes I know it's for underruns) past 40% and my CPU is decent. I noticed they limited the polyphony on a lot of them.

It does seem fairly CPU hungry on some factory patches taking my i7 8700K near 40% on some patches but I'll see how it does on the types of patches I normally make.

Now that you're the proud owner of 500 sounds tailor-made for Pigments 3, you just need to install them to unlock its full-color potential and get creative.

Same here. I'd swear it said the Spectrum patches were included and I get the same "Now that you're the proud owner of 500 sounds" text as you do.

Installed all the different files but they still don't show up even in "Owned Banks". Can anyone shed some light on the situation?

Anyway I'm off to make some sounds..........

I have Pigments 3 running and just purchased the presets and also the Jupiter-V4 crossgrade on top. But Arturia servers are a mess currently. I was now able to download the V4 directly form the website, but the download button for the presets leads to a "page not found". No chance at the ASC. But that's alright, got plenty to play with for now.

Just one thing... do you guys also have insane CPU usage with the new sound engine?

I had the exact same issue as you (and I also got the crossgrade deal). I just logged out and back in and the price now displays correctly.

Give that a shot.

[killmaster]

starting to become my favorite synth. I was thinking of getting Hive 2 but now I'm wondering what it would offer for sound experimentation that Pigments doesn't!

Thanks Kevin, not working properly in Firefox for me. Tried Safari and seeing the pricing.
