Pigments 4 retains the same overall appearance of previous versions, but there’s now a choice of two themes: the original dark theme and a new light theme.

(There’s also a third Utility engine that provides a pair of noise generators and a sub-oscillator, regardless of which models are loaded into the other two engine slots). This chameleon-like ability starts with Pigments’ pair of flexible sound engines, each of which can load any one of four different models – Analog, Wavetable, Sample and Harmonic – each encompassing a different approach to generating source tones for the synth.
