The price seems very reasonable.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I upgraded my license for $20

 

Upgrade is free. It's an optional soundset you pay 19$ for.

I love Pigments, it's combined versatility and user friendliness are unmatched in my humble opinion.

I didn't want to believe that covid would make this much of an impact. But clearly it has.

There is a Mac OS version Moria? But not a windows version? I feel like Daria from Beavis and Butthead.

Idk what's going on but those Mactards need to get to the back of the line where they came from.

 

No hate pls.

Cool, I like Pigments, but don't really use it often. I hoped more for another new synth like a software version from one of the Arturia hardware synths or a new emulation, or a completely new product.

Because at first their message, that they have finished a new synths, felt kinda like it's a new product. But Pigments is fine, too.

I hope R2R update their Arturia Products, they still haven't released the latest FX bundle with 3 more modulation effects ;_; VR never really worked for me on the long run.

 

No hate intended, none of my post are supposed to be read into too seriously. They're supposed to lean towards innocent humor more than anything else.

I don't actually mind if someone throws them iMaccos a humorous bone every once in a while. How else will we get to lol @ dem choosing apples? Shoulda, coulda, woulda got yourself a windows machine but those Mac vs PC commercials sure had flashy colors to sell.

 

Actually I love most of what Arturia makes, for me the classic synths they make stay rather rompler like but Pigments gets constant work under the hood and it has come a looong way since it's birth. It's become an antire work horse of a synth, even replacing Serum for some people.

Ever since they added the granular engine, it's had my attention ever since. The thing is a monster now & worth a every dollar of it's purchase. I also love their delays too & reverbs can be cool too. I'm not crazy about their preamps or compressors though.

Does it replace pigments 2 in your previous projects or is it separate? I always get confused with how different developers handle version changes.

 

Replace! It's an update for your system

 

Ohh that's great! Can I assume its the same for all other Arturia V collection plugins(say stage 73 v1 and v2) other than analog labs? I've been holding off an updating only to realize I need to have the older versions too cause I'm running low on space.

 

If you own an Arturia product you can get it for 69€ which is fucking awesome!

 

Pretty CPU heavy

 

Tbh pigments 2 was cpu heavy af. At least for my set-up, which isn't saying much. Upgrading v soon to a desktop - very vague question, but anyone think an i7-4790 or similar could handle a couple instances of pigments (2 or 3, rly)?

 

I think it should be alright, yeah. This would heavily depend on how intensive your patch is though. All presets eat various degrees of ram for me. Most of the patches I make come from the initialized patch so it's not as heavy as premade patches.
