Did anyone try and buy the new soundpack? Worth the 20 €?!

I love the new white theme! It is very elegant. At first I didn't thought I would switch to it from the dark one, but actually I begin to like it much more. It is also match my white Keylab mk ii

Now, Pigments besides ModWave, Icarus, Massive X and Dune 3! Damn! I feel I have the most powerful wavetable synths in history

I bought them and installed them on both my Windows and Mac machines! I paid with PayPal.

Version 3 UI looked better. Maybe they'll come to their senses with version 5

Otherwise really nice update. Mod drag and drop is greatly appreciated.

I was just playing the free presets from the new Pigments soundbanks in Analog Lab - okay, but didn't really light my fire. I did however find a new soundbank I didn't realise was either available or free to me (I'm V8, Pigments, SQ80 and the new CS80) - JSPA. That's great, made by Japanese designers which scratches my old Yellow Magic Orchestra itch.

Still going through it, but I'm rather happy with it. The Cinematic one is really to my taste. LoFi is also nice. Neuro bass isn't my genre, but the patches seem well made, too.
In general, the presets are very high quality and versataile. So I think 20€ for 450(?) presets is a very good deal. But also the new Pigments 4 preset bank is very good. Imho, they stepped up on their preset quality, newer preset banks feel better curated to me.

Thanks for sharing

Sounds good, and seems like a good deal indeed! With many preset packs for other synths you get like 100-150 presets for the same price.

I didn't really need it, but can't complain if it's free for existing users

It seemed to actually drop CPU usage, neat.

Tempted to pick this one up for $49. Don’t need another synth, particularly anything involving ******* wavetables, but still. v4 looks nice, and I suppose it goes with my Arturia hardware and - as of this month, finally - V Collection …

edit: aaaand bought it

Great update on the workflow! The new modulation rocks! That was unexpected. Thanks Artutia.

The effect overview on the left now looks like Baby Audio worked on them. The fx switch button is too close to the fx section selector. Hope this will be improved. I actually already like the new buttons.

I have compared the v3.7 and v4. The quality and CPU usage is same. Win10 here.

Sheesh, everyone on KVR is a graphic designer. Every time a new synth or a new look comes out, everyone piles on saying how awful it is.

Looks absolutely fine to me, and does't for one picosecond affect any ability to work with the synth.

Arturia Pigments 4 has landed
