UK Underground – Presets for Arturia Pigments

Garage, Pop, Bass & Breaks – Sound Straight from the Underground

Skippy drums. Warped bass. Soulful textures.

UK Underground dives deep into the evolving pulse of UK music—blending the swagger of garage, the energy of bass, the grit of breaks, and the catchiness of UK-influenced pop. Designed for Arturia Pigments, this pack brings the essence of the scene into one versatile toolkit.

Whether you’re building stripped-back club rollers, emotional pop cuts, or broken-beat pressure, UK Underground gives you the palette to move between moods and styles without losing the vibe.

Next-Level Sound Design for the UK Sound

Sound design in the UK underground is all about tension and texture—bass that moves with pressure, leads that cut with character, and pads that breathe with space. Pigments gives you the tools to sculpt this with precision: multi-engine layering, flexible filter routing, complex LFOs, and real-time macro control all play a role.

In this pack, we’ve pushed Pigments to the edge—using wavetable morphing, formant-shaping filters, and granular resynthesis to echo the grit of hardware, the warmth of vinyl, and the unpredictability of early pirate-era gear. Each preset is tuned to sit right in the mix and stay responsive to your every move.

Highlights:

• Signature Chords & Pads – Dusty organ stabs and lush beds, perfect for garage vibes and emotive breakdowns.
• Heavy Bass Presets – Sub-heavy, mod-warped and dancefloor-ready. Low-end that breathes and growls.
• Catchy Leads & Plucks – Bright, textured, and full of UK flavour—perfect for hooks that stick.
• Break-Inspired Percussive Synths – Sharp, tonal hits and textures with rhythmic edge, nodding to jungle, breaks, and grime.
• Textural FX & Ambience – Vinyl-style noise, filtered sweeps, and internal effects baked into the presets to help glue your mix together.

Why Pigments? Why Now?

Arturia Pigments is the perfect playground for shaping UK sounds—offering a unique blend of modern wavetable synthesis, sample manipulation, and classic subtractive techniques.

This pack takes full advantage of the latest features in Pigments 6, with deep modulation routing, expressive macros, and intuitive performance controls that make these presets not just polished, but playable. From swing to saturation, every detail is dialled in to help you move fast and stay inspired.

Built for Now – Rooted in Legacy
