Arturia Pigments 4 has landed

Are the presets included in Wavelengths Bundle NKS compatible? I doubt so based on the spec.

I can't see any previews for them in the preset folder, so looks like they aren't.

[aMUSEd]

Any preset can be saved as NKS though

yeah I noticed the 3 for $20 special but it wasn't easy to purchase it though. Finally got it, and worth the money, nice patches...

Hey there to all the Pigmenteering Humans !

Is there a way to delete modulation assignments other then with the special window for it ?
Wouldnt a hotkey combination / key + click combo be insanely useful to delete them on the fly while trying them out ? Without the absolute need of opening the assignment window ?
I mean it has its place too, i dont want to get rid of that of course. But this little extra could actually streamline it quite a step more.

What are your thoughts on that ?

When using the new drag and drop method, you’ll hear a preview of the modulation before releasing the mouse button. And if you hover over a modulation target, those new modulation pizzas pop up. You can double click them to quickly remove the modulation without opening the assignment window.

Very cool update. I was not super interested in pigments other than it's mpe implementation and the low price. I'm very glad I grabbed it, it's one of my favorite current synths and the free updates keep being amazing.

We don't agree with you, the interface and buttons and design of Pigments 4 is superb, modern, fresh and tempting! A jewel of synthesis and current and modern design! If it is not the best current synthesizer engine, it passes it by a millimetre...

i really like the GUI in pigments, but still... who is 'we'? didn't you mean 'i'?

" We, because it's me and my pet 'Dexter'...

Does anyone have Pigments 4 & FL Studio 21? Might be wrong, but 99.9% sure that the 'Burn MIDI to' function used to work for me in Pigments 3 & FL Studio 20. Just tried to do it for the first time since the updates for both and I can't seem to get it to work. Can someone else try... or correct me, if it never did work with the previous versions? Cheers.

Not everybody is convinced by Pigments:

No, actually it is great. But my old macbook can't handle it, CPU wise.

[Fannon]

Dune 3 and Hive 2 have the reputation to run well on older hardware with less CPU needed. But I wonder, @Stan Navi if that trade is realistic, as Pigments is clearly cheaper to get than Dune 3.

Hive 2 is currently much discussed on KVR. It seems it's a heavy competitor to Piggyments.

[Fannon]

I demoed it a little bit. If I had old hardware or the need to have really MANY synth instances at the same time, I'd seriously consider using it instead of Pigments. It's not as versatile and complex as Pigments, but that seems to be on purpose. I'm sure it can do plenty enough and it also comes with loads of good and well organized presets.

With Hive 2 currently on Sale at NI / Izotope, you might get it for almost the same money that you can sell Pigments used?

Actually the preset organization system is what really stands out for me, both for Arturia and u-he. I think I do prefer u-he's approach more, though.
