The free version of Vital is a worthy alternative to Pigments and the inexpensive Cherry Audio synths also support MPE. At minimum, it’d fit the Buchla emulation. Pigments remains the only Arturia softsynth which supports it. What I find the most disappointing, though, is that they didn’t expand MPE to other synths in the lineup.
But they expect that people pay a significant upgrade price every year, which puts the subscription model in perspective (e.g. Yes, Arturia offers steep discounts twice a year (one of those just ended a few days ago). So pricing remains a key issue to keep in mind. Not quite a pricewar but $29 is the new $150. Some major shifts in softsynth and plugin pricing have started.
