Pigments is Origin's alternate universe twin, in that Arturia have cherry-picked many of the best aspects from their various emulations and given them a new modular home that's proudly a software instrument (a hardware version of Pigments would be a compromised user experience). The review of Origin makes for interesting reading for those following the Arturia development journey. A lot of folk didn't get it, as it cost a lot and was powered by virtual synth technology. Origin was basically all of their emulations together as one almighty beast of a modular. Take away the wavetable aspect and the thing it reminds me of most is Origin, Arturia's first hardware synth. I still love Serum, the point I'm making is that Pigments is a something different again. It's so much more than a wavetable synth in the Serum tradition.
