A soundbank for Pigments (mostly) inspired by ’80s and ’90s digital synthesis
Diffusion contains 61 patches for Arturia Pigments celebrating the synthesizer sounds of the late 1980s and early 1990s, when a new breed of digital synthesizers – alongside their analog counterparts – expanded the sonic territory for musicians.
For this soundbank I have taken inspiration from the era’s film and TV scores, video game soundtracks and popular music, putting a modern spin on their iconic tones. Touchstones include the music of Jan Hammer, Angelo Badalamenti, Mitch Murder, Koji Kondo, Yasunori Mitsuda and Paul Hardcastle.
Inside you will find punchy basses, crystalline bells, smooth electric pianos, glassy pads, pristine leads, cinematic strings and more. All patches have parameters mapped to Mod Wheel and macros, and NKS patches are included for integration with Native Instruments hardware.
Diffusion is suited to synthwave, vaporwave, synth pop, ambient, video game soundtracks, or any musical project that needs a retro digital flavour.
