No, it's FREE. They state on their website: "The latest free update..."

Arturia Software Center shows it as a free update. I'm downloading it now (slowly). Hope there's no catch

There won't be - it's free

They want people to buy the addon presets though (Explorations 5) - tbh I usually do, their preset designers are second only to the u-he team and I think it's fair given the free upgrades

Totally agree

It's always the same issue with every Pigments release. Even if people already have it, they get an upgrade offer from V Collection or a hardware product.

I wonder what advanced means here. But I forget exactly what capabilities version 6 has, since I don't use it that much.

Ah yes, my annual reminder that Pigments kicks butt and I really should get around to using it more. GG Arturia

As written in the review (article), you can now filter FM with engines 1 and 2 or the modulation oscillators 1 and 2. That was not possible with the "classic" filters so far
