Pigments 4 has landed, new MS-20 filter, updated modulation system, improved Bitcrusher, new Shimmer reverb and more.

Displaying four new patches I made with the Beta version of Pigments 4, incorporating some of the new features.

Post

I somewhat knew that it wouldn't be a free upgrade.

Or is it? I'm confused now.

Ah... thanks. :) I was confused because it showed me a price of 99 €, even though I was logged in.

Thanks for the alert Simon.
Seems like the same deal like Pigment 3 update.

Free..

But like I did with Pigment 3 I will buy the add on sounds to show thank you.

Will this ever have a paid update?

I'm afraid to buy this because of possible future paid updates.

Pigments is becoming the Logic Pro X of soft synths, major updates are just free for whenever, whatever. Heck yeah.

Nice. Are there any changes that could alter the sound of presets made in version 3 (I'm guessing not since the update seems to consist of the addition of modular parts)?
Every day takes figuring out all over again how to f#ckin’ live.
