MPE EXPRESSIONS – for Arturia Pigments

MPE-driven sound design built for deep performance expression.

MPE Expressions is a collection of 32 carefully crafted presets for Arturia Pigments, demonstrated and tested exclusively with the Expressive E Osmose.

The bank focuses on playable, dynamic sounds that respond musically to pressure, pitch, and gesture — designed to feel alive under the fingers rather than static or over-programmed.

Preset categories include:

Expressive Pads
Cinematic & Analog-style Strings
Synth Brass
Bells & Textures
Deep & Articulated Basses
Expressive Leads
Modern Techno & Performance Synths

Most presets make full use of all 4 Pigments Macros, allowing quick access to tone, movement, intensity, and performance shaping.

MPE & Non-MPE Friendly

MPE functionality has been tested only with the Expressive E Osmose
Compatibility with other MPE controllers is not guaranteed
Non-MPE users are fully supported: in most presets, key MPE dimensions are mapped to the Mod Wheel, making the sounds playable and expressive on standard MIDI keyboards

Whether you’re performing, composing, or exploring new expressive workflows, MPE Expressions is designed to bring movement, depth, and human feel to Arturia Pigments.
