This is an excellent tutorial/review, Jakub-- first rate...
No-nonsense/low-key/straight-up, much covered with examples, gets to the point, no in-your-face cult-of-personality, and so on. Perhaps it's like as you suggest or infer of Pigments.
Bravo, and thank you.

Been on it since day one… Easily my favourite soft synth. I lose hours sound designing on this thing. Great vid man and I learned a couple of things I’m going to expand upon… Cheers man!

I own pigments since its release and I did not know it had a resonator... That comes in handy for my drone and pad design.

The physical modeling trick is amazing!

This synthesizer is the best buy at the moment. If Arturia continues to delight with free updates, then it will be out of competition.

Great demo Jakub, thanks a lot man! 🙂

really great breakdown of synthesis, sound creation in general, but even better for a pigments owner - I never realised the power I have available in Pigments!

Really helpful, thank you. I've been snapping up synths recently Surge and Pigments and Iris 2 and I guess I've been overloading the engines with all the find stuff rather than thinking of specific sounds to recreate. This helped a lot!

Amazing video! I've found out new synthesis methods, many thanks :)

Thank you, nice tips. Will check back with you. ☺

Really informative video, and definitely inspiring. I like your method of relating the different methods to older synthesizers. I know I'm showing my lack of experience with sound creation, but in the time since Pigments launched, I've used the envelopes on numerous functions, but never thought to use them on the filters. Looks like my day is now going to be spent exploring that and looking at other areas I hadn't considered connecting to the envelopes. Pigments is definitely the best purchase I've made with regards to digital music production.

Thanks a lot for sharing this! Never thought that Pigments goes that deep. So i'll definitly use this synth more often from now.

Thank you very much for sharing. This was certainly helpful. Going to add Pigments 3 to my small collection of synth modules.

Fantastic revue, thank you very much ;-)

[Val_Cla]

Pigments is really great ! Probably my favorite paid VST :) Thanks for the tips and ideas !

honestly, only thing missing now is a wavetable editor and better searching tools + better optimizations. its getting closer to be one of the best soft synths out there.
