POLYCHROME SOFTWARE SYNTHESIZER
An immensely powerful wavetable and virtual analog software
synthesizer, 20 years in the making. This is Pigments, and it’s
going to change the way you make music.
Taking that spark of imagination and transforming it into sound is
the most fundamental, exhilarating part of creating music. Pigments
makes that process natural, intuitive, and colorful.
Your sound, in living color
Imagine a sound, then create it.
Pigments gives you the finest elements ever found in a software
instrument, letting you create pioneering, exciting, and deeply
personal sounds. Laying everything out before you, Pigments lets you
fully express your creativity in a way that’s never been seen before
in a software instrument.
Pigments features a twin audio engine, letting you mix virtual
analog and wavetable oscillators to create the perfect starting
point for your patch. You can even morph wavetables, or import your
own.
What you do next is up to you. Experiment with 3 envelopes, 3 LFOs,
and 3 function generators. Assign modulators to animate your sound,
and breathe life into it. Add controlled, or totally wild random
changes to any parameter with a Turing probability generator. Run it
through 2 filters, with any combination of iconic analog filters or
modern formant and surgeon filters you want. Process your patch with
exciting contemporary effects like wavefolder and multifilter, or
vintage studio reverbs, delays, and EQs.
“Routing” isn’t a dirty word
Scanning a matrix for the right parameter works, but it isn’t the
only way.
Thanks to its unique interface, Pigments doesn’t just make complex
modulations easy, it makes them fun. This is a new approach to
building sounds.
Making a masterpiece
For 20 years, we have been analyzing, emulating, and refining the
most iconic synthesizers ever made.
Working with Dr Robert Moog, Cameron Jones, and many other industry
legends, we have built our reputation on creating world-class
instruments. We turned the music industry on its head with the
release of our trailblazing, affordable analog hardware synthesizer,
the MiniBrute.
With multiple awards under our belt, you could say that we’ve done
our homework. Pigments combines our passion for vintage FM and
analog sound with modern wavetable synthesis to create what is, to
us, the ultimate software synth.
