Virtual Riot

Producer, Dj

"Pigments excels at both having a great presets library as well as being a fantastic sound design playground."

Henrich Mueller

Producer (Dopplereffekt)

"After careful scientific experimentation, evaluation and data collection the Pigments application has proven to be quite a powerful and extensive application for deep investigations into new dimensions and possibilities within the domain of sound synthesis. Just as the particle accelerator is essential to atomic physics, Pigments is essential to the physic of advanced synthesis."

Plaid

Producers (Björk, Mara Carlyle)

"We love it, there is a real detail and depth in its sound, the modulation assignment and routing system is one of the best we’ve used, making complex structures clear. Its potential is exciting, we’ve still got lots to discover."

Habstrakt

Producer

"This Pigment update adds so much it’s honestly impressive. The new filter engines sound incredible and add so much texture to everything, I’ve been abusing the RAGE engines and reverb modes. Being able to modulate your filter from your oscillators is straight out of modular playbook and opens up a new world of possibilities."

Vel

Producer, Dj

"I used Pigments on every track of my ambient album. It’s the best plugin I can imagine for creating textures and soundscapes. I love the infinite possibilities it offers through the slightest tweak of its parameters. It’s a beautiful ally for creativity, full of surprises. I can spend hours exploring the interface, searching for new ways to craft melancholia and softness"

Eric Emery

Mixing engineer (Blink-182, Yellowcard, Alice Cooper, alkaline Trio)

"The sounds in Pigments are so inspiring, and the user experience is so intuitive it practically disappears; I stop thinking about the interface and slip straight into making music."

Alix Perez

DJ / Producer

"Pigments is my go to when I'm producing on the road, away from my hardware setup. It offers so much versatility and depth in one. The granular function and modelling tables are awesome and I can cover all ground between beautiful pads to aggressive, analogue sounding bass."

Mylo

Producer

"This is something completely new, an analog/wavetable hybrid beast with the craziest modulation capabilities I have ever seen."

Irène Drésel

"Pigments is really fun to use, being both intuitive and powerful! Its palette of rather “warm” and deep sounds lets you develop a lot of ideas for atmospheric sounds. I'm really using it a lot at the moment!"

Aho Ssan

Producer

"Pigments by Arturia is a true sonic canvas where granular synthesis takes on a unique dimension. Its ability to sculpt textures opens up an infinite range of creative possibilities, perfectly suited to the exploration of completely crazy landscapes."

Kmru

Producer

"The immense possibilities of pigments is mind boggling - in love with the modulation possibilities."

Nicky Romero

DJ / Producer (Britney Spears, David Guetta)

"I love how Pigments sounds so warm, and how easy it is to achieve the result you are looking for with your music. Great job on how the interface is done, all functions are easy to be found, even if you are new to this synthesizer. 5/5."

Forest Swords

Producer

"Pigments is incredible, I love it – it's so easy to use and it's also very easy to pull entirely new sounds together. I've already used it on a couple of songs, which I think are going to make the new album. "

Addison Groove

Producer

"It’s hard to imagine how Arturia could build on the previous Pigments, but the updates in V6 are spot on. The new Modal feature alone is giving me instant inspiration, especially if you’re into synthesising percussion. This is definitely the best-sounding soft synth I have, and it’s been my go-to ever since the original dropped."

SHERELLE

Producer, DJ

"Pigments is my Arturia safe space, so immediately I know I’m going to get good sounds. "

SebastiAn

"Pigments is one of the most impressing synth I tried about the textures it has, the unusual way it moves, the way you can be suddenly surprised of how spacious is the sound when you wander around the software, all the possibilities it can offer. It is really another level of sound. "

Kasper Bjørke

Producer

"The Pigments soft synth from Arturia is really great, especially for sound design projects, and the interface is very intuitive. It is easy to modulate and customise sounds and it really feels like you can create any sound on it - from big pads to powerful deep bass sounds and beyond. One of the most exciting soft synthesizers, one that I am using more and more."

Leon Vynehall

Producer

"Since I've had Pigments, it's made its way on to pretty much everything I've written. The maliable combination of sample and synth makes Pigments a perfect all rounder for me."

Daisuke Tanabe

Producer

"Love Pigments 4. It brings a cinematic layer to the production with a very delicate and present sound."

Sofie Birch

Producer

"I like how Arturias Pigments allow me to create high quality sounds that still have this noisy lo-fi vibe to them. The predesigned sounds have a lot of interesting layers and textures that connect with my taste in dusty woodwinds and rustling organic surfaces."

Andrew Huang

Producer/YouTube Influencer

"Pigments is super deep and super flexible. The layout and visual feedback for modulation routing is the best I've ever seen in a softsynth. "

Marc Houle

DJ / Producer

"Pigments is my favourite software synth - the layout is phenomenal, letting you have an overview of everything that's going on with that great modulation bar. Seeing everything at once inspires new ideas with very unique sounds. The giant preset bank is great for inspiration."

Howie B

Mixing Engineer, Producer (Bjork, Brian Eno, U2, Siouxsie and the Banshees)

"I can very quickly get and create what I hear in my head. Sonically sound and visually a treat use. "

Dem Jointz

Producer (Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Janet Jackson)

"It's crazy, but since I got it, I’ll make like seven beats in a couple of days. So when I can get a hold of that and do something like that, that's definitely going to end up being the go-to. "

Christian Löffler

Producer

"Absolutely loving it. Great work! Love the gentle, atmospheric sounds. Very inspiring presets as well."

Ttristana

Producer

"Pigments 4 is in the top three of my favourite virtual synthesizers. Its clear interface makes it easy to navigate. Pigments allows me to explore my creativity without limit."

INVT

Producer

"Pigments is super versatile, has almost every type of sound from basses to fx to pads and drums. The built in sequencer is awesome. Really beautiful design as well."

Alex Lustig

Producer (Young Thug, Don Toliver, French Montana)

"I love the textures Pigments is able to create. The hybrid synth enables me to create some new different sounds that help me be creative. The layout of Pigments is also super user friendly. Great synth. "

Zaliva D

Producer / Composer

"Its my main weapon for sound design work and music production. I love the Granular synth part so much, it's perfect for my beloved apocalyptic sounds. Love it, Love it, Love it!"

Monty

Producer, DJ

"The combination of wavetable, virtual analog, and granular engines in Pigments is unmatched. It's incredibly versatile, allowing me to create everything from lush pads to aggressive basses with ease."

NxxxxxS

Producer

"The strongest point of Pigments is its interface; everything is visible in a single window. The visual is modern and pleasant to look at, you understand quickly and easily each section and their functions."

Etch

Producer

"An absolute behemoth of a synth, the fact I was able to create a whole track using nothing but it is a testament to what a versatile powerhouse it is - recommend to ANYONE."

Camo & Krooked

Electronic Music Duo

"Pigments is a state of the art softsynth, which combines all classic and modern synthesis possibilities we wished for in one powerful package. The only limitation is your own mind! "

Janus Rasmussen

DJ / Producer / Band Member (KIASMOS)

"It's a very inviting synth. Before you know it, you'll be tweaking your own intricate and interesting presets. Pigments has a good balance between being simple and really deep, which is no small feat for this many features. "

FEMME

Artist / Performer

"I'm impatient, work fast and like stuff to sound great quickly. I found Pigments does just that and I've had a ton of fun playing with the sequencer. It's powerful and hugely flexible, but the controls accessible, easily understood and manipulated. "

Zola Blood

Producer

"It feels like the possibilities are endless without being overwhelming, which opens up a welcomed door to some serious sonic creativity."
