Do the new play animations server a purpose or are they just dancing baloney? The old animation was a stylized spectral visualization of the signal. You could see what frequencies were present. It gave you information about the patch. The new animations just seem to pulse when a note is played. I have nothing against making something look good but unless it serves a purpose, it is just a distraction. Unfortunately, we only have an option to disable the visualizer. I really would like an option to bring back the old animation or have some sort of animation that shows what is going on rather than just a bouncy animation that seems to do nothing more than show that a key was pressed.
Hi @Silence
This is one of those ‘subjective’ ones really, some people find the new visualiser quite stimulating, really enjoy it and say it helps to fire their creativity… someone i spoke with in RL spoke those EXACT words to me yesterday.
On the other hand, some find it a distraction, rather than an enhancement, personally, i’m in the latter camp, so i switch it off. I don’t work for Arturia and that is purely my own personal opinion.
I take your point regarding the previous ‘spectrum analyser’ type visualiser, but most, if not all DAWs have some kind of frequency analyzation anyway, so it’s kind of moot in that respect.
Again, personally, i don’t want to be seeing a bunch of flashing lights that aren’t REALLY telling me something, i’m not one for ‘eye candy’ personally, but some people are…
HTH!
Same here - very annoying, so I turned it off. Thankfully I don’t really use Pigments in Play mode much.
