Why I Returned the Korg Wavestate and Fell in Love with Arturia Pigments

Welcome back to the Five Dot Loft — where the process is the story. In this episode, I’m swapping hardware for software… and I’m not looking back. After returning the Korg Wavestate, I picked up Arturia Pigments, and it instantly felt like home. The interface is visual, intuitive, and surprisingly inviting — the kind of place you just want to be in. Instead of a step-by-step tutorial, this is more of an exploration. I’ll build a patch from scratch, walk through my thought process, and show how Pigments makes sound design feel like creative play. If you’ve ever wondered how much the feel of your tools impacts your creativity, this episode is for you.
