Still, it's a cool addition, and the new utility stuff means I don't need to sacrifice an oscillator to play a transient anymore, or waste it for analog to get a sub oscillator out, legit useful stuff whenever I'm designing a sound in Pigments.Have you ever wanted a synthesizer plugin that’s capable of producing sounds using every type of synthesis that’s ever existed? Well, I’m pretty sure that doesn’t exist just yet, however Arturia’s newest iteration of Pigments comes pretty darn close as they announce version 3 of their powerful software synthesizer plugin.
Maybe it being free is also why I don't try too hard to learn the new engine, but I haven't really had much interest in harmonic mangling personally. I'm fairly sure it's a free update to anyone who owns it. The cherry on top of a well balanced cake - I got this for free, seeing as I was a Pigments owner already. It's kinda similar to NI's Prism if you're familiar with it. There's a lot of new presets that make use of it and I notice it's really nice for bell-type sounds, but of course it can be good for anything else. The harmonic engine is a very cool idea on paper, and it might be in execution too, but whenever I try to use it, it is admittedly hard to get a nice tone out of it.
This update basically adds a new engine - the harmonics engine, and also a new Utility tab, featuring two noise oscillators (they're playing back a sample so you can totally just use regular samples), as well as a simple sub oscillator. I'll keep this one short - if you need more detail or thoughts, everything from my Pigments 2 review carries over to this, 100%.
