Arturia has unveiled Pigments 5, the latest version of its flagship software synthesizer, and the headline feature is an AI-powered sound design assistant called Aria. The assistant allows users to describe a sound in plain English — 'warm pad with slow attack and tape saturation,' for example — and Aria generates a starting patch using Pigments' synthesis engines.
Universal Audio has released LUNA 2.0, a major update to its free digital audio workstation that ships exclusively with UA hardware interfaces. The update has been in beta testing for several months and arrives with a substantially expanded feature set that puts LUNA in more direct competition with paid DAWs like Logic Pro and Studio One.
