Arturia Pigments 6 Review: An INSANE & Easy-To-Use Sound Designing Machine (..But Is It Too Overwhelming?)

Owners of Arturia’s widely popular Pigments VST rejoiced in unison in late January when the revered production company unveiled a new update.
As a synth, Pigments has been around for a while. But, Arturia has done something really unique with its development: they have never actually released a standalone new version, and all updates to it have been free for all who already own it. This update was no outlier: Pigments 6 is available now, and free for everyone who already owns Pigments.
I was not one of those people. I’ve actually never used Pigments, even though I’ve always been interested in giving it a try. At face value, it combines a visual interface (and, for someone who uses Serum heavily, that’s always nice) with a ton of oscillator types (analog, granular, wavetable, etc.) to act as an all-in-one sound design beast. And, with the sixth update freshly released, I figured now would be a great time to dive into Pigments.
The following is my honest review of the entire plugin, as well as a bit of information about what exactly is new in Pigments 6 for those of you who previously owned Pigments 5.

New gear and iterations of existing products roll out in a steady stream of updates that can be hard to keep up with in the production space these days, and to be honest, with how few products actually reinvent the wheel, oftentimes you might not be missing much by sleeping on some of the new synths or plugins being dropped these days.
