Arturia Pigments 7

Full Description

What’s new in Version 7

Version 7 introduces new filters, including more aggressive and character-driven options, alongside the Corroder FX for adding controlled erosion and edge. Visual modulation ranges and improved CPU efficiency allow for denser patches without slowing you down, while smoother amplitude envelopes reduce clicks and improve impact. Added presets, wavetables, samples, and tutorials help you reach specific results faster, making Pigments 7 the most focused and flexible version yet for shaping sounds that sit exactly where you need them.

Explore sound without limits

Pigments 7 is built around a multi-engine structure that lets you blend different synthesis types within a single patch. This makes it straightforward to design complex tones that still feel playable, especially when paired with macro controls that keep key parameters close at hand. A large preset library gives you practical starting points, whether you are building evolving atmospheres or tighter, rhythmic sounds. And if you prefer working from scratch, the modulation system stays clear and responsive, helping ideas move quickly without getting lost in menus.

See what your sound is doing

The visual approach in Pigments 7 helps remove guesswork from sound design. Animated displays show waveforms, envelopes, filters, and modulation paths as they react in real time. The redesigned Play View goes further by previewing tonal characteristics before you even press a key. This visual clarity speeds up decision-making, making it easier to fine-tune movement, balance layers, and understand how each modulation source shapes the final sound.

Designed for modern production styles

Pigments 7 fits naturally into contemporary workflows, covering genres like hip hop, EDM, house, lo-fi, and cinematic scoring. Performance-ready macros and sequencing tools support both sketching ideas and refining arrangements inside your DAW. The instrument is equally comfortable delivering subtle motion or more direct, punchy sounds, which makes it a practical choice when moving between tracks or styles during a session.
