What's new in Pigments 7?

• REDESIGNED PLAY VIEW
  Experience a unique, inspiring and clear identity that harnesses Pigments’ visual sound design strengths. Immediately preview sound characteristics before playback and visualize timbre evolution.

• NEW CREATIVE FILTERS
  Explore the brand new aggressive Filter Rage to dial in powerful rumbling textures via feedback loop distortion, experiment with the Filter Ripple for intense phase shifts, and utilize the Reverb Filter to add fat, unique timbre modifications perfect for bass design.

• NEW CORRODER FX MODULE
  Push your sound further with Corroder, a modulation-driven erosion effect. From FM-tinged edges and filtered grain to wide, driven distortion, it delivers controlled grit while preserving the character of your dry signal.

• MODULATION & CPU IMPROVEMENT
  Modulation ranges are now displayed visually for easier editing, while optimized processing delivers extra headroom for complex modulation, layered engines, and heavy FX chains.

• ENHANCED PUNCH & PRESENCE
  Pigments 7 sharpens its default behaviour with smoother, S-shaped amplitude envelopes that reduce clicks and deliver cleaner, harder-hitting sounds—especially in bass-heavy and club-focused production.

• NEW CREATIVE CONTENT
  162 new factory presets, 50 wavetables, 30 samples, and 29 noises, plus in-app, use-case tutorials that walk you through sound designing granular pads, basses, and more.
