Arturia has released Pigments Play, a free version of Pigments, its flagship multi-engine software synth. Pigments Play follows the same approach the company took with Analog Lab Play, which arrived in 2023 as a free, stripped-down edition of Analog Lab, built around a simplified Play View and a curated set of 100 presets. It also redesigned Pigments’ Play View (the same one you’ll find in Pigments Play) introducing a visualiser that represents the sonic character of each preset, reacting graphically to both sound and parameter changes. Pigments Play would make an excellent introduction to the full version for anyone considering adding the instrument to their collection, but even if you're not curious about Pigments, this is a stellar free synth plugin that's undoubtedly worth downloading. Arturia Pigments Play is available now as a free download for macOS and Windows in VST/AU/AAX formats or as a standalone app.
