Pigments 7

Harness every shade of synthesis

Pigments 7 is a powerful end-to-end software synthesizer for contemporary producers, combining 6 cutting-edge synthesis engines with a colour-coded interface, effortless drag-and-drop modulation, premium FX, and generative sequencing. 

Limitless sound design

Explore an infinite spectrum of sound with Pigments’ multiengine architecture and deep modulation options. From lush pads and evolving textures to razor-edged basses and punchy leads, a vast preset library and macro controls make complex sounds immediately playable and easy to customize.

Visual, intuitive workflow

Pigments 7 harnesses a redesigned Play View and dynamic visual feedback so you can see sound in motion. Waveforms, envelopes, filters, and modulation all animate in real time, helping you refine patches quickly, understand what’s happening in the signal path, and stay focused on the music.

On the pulse of modern music

From hip hop, trap, bass and EDM to house, electro, lo-fi, electronica, cinematic scoring and more, Pigments 7’s sounds, sequencing tools, and performance-ready macros are tailored for today’s producers. Whether you’re sketching ideas or finishing mixes, it slots seamlessly into any DAW workflow.

Make it your own

Personalize Pigments to your setup with easy audio routing, custom appearance, play modes, preset playlists, and external sound sources. Design from scratch, reshape factory content, or build complete performance setups that respond exactly the way you want.
 

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.
