User 905133 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Descriptions with direct links to the demo, preset breakdown pages. Quote Dystopian Machine explores mechanical rhythmic momentum, the metallic sounds of industrialization, and the echoes of hi-tech gone haywire. These 150 sounds for Analog Lab & Pigments feature glitchy pads riddled with harmonic imperfections, crushing pneumatic basses, gnarled sequences pulsating with distortion, destined for cinematic sound design and video game immersion. Sounds by Konstantin Klem, Aileen Wallace, Simon Gallifet, Kuba Sojka, Hugo Sebastian, and Lily Jordy. Quote Pop Transcendence is your go-to library of ultra-modern pop presets. Featuring 150 presets for Analog Lab & Pigments, it encompasses chrome-plated leads, luxurious faux-brass stabs, shimmering sequences of digital plucks, and much more, inspired by K-pop, hyperpop, and art-pop. Sounds designed by Rob Martland, Maclov Lecalvez, Stewart Walker, Marco Iodice, Adrobski, and Hugo Sebastian. Quote Urban Clouds draws upon the dark, abstract, mesmerizing ambiences that give modern trap and cloud rap that distinct hazy vibe. Fall into a swirling mixture of lo-fi beds of harmony, chiptune melodies, distorted 808s, degraded-tape timbres, and lush R&B keys. 150 presets for Analog Lab & Pigments, designed by Paul Laski, Yuli Yolo, ARC Noise, Victor Morello, and Lily Jordy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Neudorf Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Purchased. I don't need more sounds, but Arturia never seems to discount more than 50%, except with these bundle offers. If there are secret codes that will let me get 10 bundles for the price of 1 though, let me know. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Ewing Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Pigments is my most regretted purchase lately. That thing sounds like $%#@ (in my opinion of course). I don't understand the hype, and I don't understand how Arturia can make a synth that sounds so lifeless (filters, effects section, etc.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the filters are literally the same filters from stand alone products that are well regarded. It has become my go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, just listening to them. There is not a single filter in Pigments that comes anywhere remotely close to their MS-20, mini or M12. The filters in Pigments sound like *****. Worse than ***** compared to anything U-He, or Serum, or Knif Audio, or Massive X, or hell even Omnisphere, although Omnisphere's filter options are absurdly deep. If you want to test how bad it sounds - build a simple saw bass patch in Pigments. Then build one in Repro-1. There is no reason to use Pigments for literally any synth purpose, unless it's the only synth one has, and it's just for very average jack-of-all-trades utility sounds. Which seems to be what it's made for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are entitled to your personal preferences. However, since you just got it, I would encourage you to ask for a refund instead of grumbling that you wasted your money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did once grab a wave cycle from serum and made a simple patch and I couldn't tell the difference. Sorry for your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioschmaudio Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I just bought it. There are lots of really nice presets inside. And the collection seems quite versatile, useful for many different genres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
