We like to think it’s every kind of synthesizer.
Two main sound engine slots can be used at the same time,
and each of these can hold one of four engine types.
In addition, a Utility engine can be used alongside these for even more possibilities.

Pigments is its own instrument and technically not part of the V-Collection.
However, aspects of it draw from vintage synths, such as some of the Filter options
and the three-oscillator design of the Analog Engine .
You can certainly get the sounds of classic synths using Pigments.
But you can get a whole lot more as well.

The main engine tabs can host four types of synthesis:
The Utility Engine has two sampled noise sources (which do a lot more than noise) plus an extra virtual analog oscillator:
- Harmonic
- Analog
- Wavetable
- Sample
- Further chapters in this FAQ detail each of those shown above.

Two identical filters can be routed in series, parallel, or anywhere in between.
Any sound engine can be routed to the two filters in any proportion.
There are filters unique to Pigments, such as the “Surgeon” …
… and emulations of filters from vintage synths, like the SEM, Mini, and Jup-8.
Pigments is one of the most extensively modulatable soft synths ever.
The central strip displays all modulation sources:
The central strip displays all modulation sources:
You can select a mod source and drag targets to it, which creates a pane of parameters for that routing ...
… or start with the target by hovering over it, clicking the + sign, and then setting modulation amounts from one or more desired sources.
Nine in total: Three on each of two insert busses (FX A and FX B), plus another three on the Aux (send) bus.
These can be arranged in any order.

Yes, there’s a sequencer/arpeggiator.
In sequencer mode it offers tracks for pitch, velocity, octave, trigger probability, gate length, and slide.
In arpeggiator mode the pitch track is replaced by a pattern selector.

Yes, 11 world tunings are built in.
You can also load your own .tun or .scl files to achieve any tuning imaginable.

You can create custom curves for velocity response, aftertouch response, and keyboard scaling in this window.
Yes, MIDI polyphonic expression is fully implemented, with settings made here.
