Pigments is capable of some very rich Pads, here is an example:

I bought it! I had the same "expired license" issue but they straightened it out within a few hours of emailing them.
I can't wait for some 3rd-party presets, especially analogue-sounding ones. I like the analog oscillators but it seems like 90% of the included presets use wavetables and sound a bit digital. That's fine but I think this has the potential to make some great analog arpeggios and basses.

The analog oscillators are are good and can get some traditional, classic analog style sounds.mmoncur wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 5:00 am

Being able to combine the oscillators types can also allow for some unique instruments.

I've trialed about any recent soft synth in existence and I've bought a few, but Pigments is the first one that really does it for me. The GUI + workflow is golden.
I have VPS Avenger which is technically more capable, but I've never liked the GUI/workflow so I rarely use it. When trialing Pigments it became very clear to me: I don't want a synth that can do it all, I want a synth with the perfect usability-capability balance.
Bought it.
(PS, other synths I own: Diva, Serum, Synthmaster, Dune, VPS Avenger - which already is overkill. I think I could live with Diva + Pigments only).

I was going through some of the presets, and the one called Shooting Stars has almost a D-50 Fantasia sound to it. Then later on I noticed in the comments for the preset they mention "remember LA synthesis".

I really really like this synth (really!) There's one little thing somewhat missing and that's a unison option when using the analog engine. I'm able to work around it by:
1. Using the wavetable engine which has unison (but it's not the analog engine which you may prefer).
2. Using the analog engine twice, pan one left;the other one right, configure the 6 oscillators to be slightly out of tune, and enable the chorus effect with 4 voices. I've compared this with a 16 voice Dune unison and it's pretty close.
Still, I would have been easier to just have a unison option in the analog engine. It may have been a CPU usage consideration though.
Nitpicking here: this synth is absolutely great.

Absolutely.
Here's another nickpick, No 'Rate' mode for glide.. Pretty basic stuff but it's not there.

If you have to ask, you can't afford the answer
