Chris Dudley

"Sounds exquisite. Seeing the Morph knob starting to make its way from the PolyBrute into the software with Augmented Grand Piano is amazing. Almost endless possibilities from any preset and, as a nerd about customization, this is right up my alley."

Cian Ciaran

Producer / Band Member (Super Furry Animals)

"Percussive and non piano-like sounds, it gives this instrument a cinemattic appeal as well as a writing tool that it is instant. The effects and the motion elements give it additional appeal with some manipulation of time and space to play with."

"There is NOTHING remotely as deep as this in the world of sound design utilizing piano textures... Augmented Grand Piano opens another magical door into a world that could only be Arturia. Seriously, I'm just blown away!"

Murcof

Composer/Producer

"It's truly a sound designer's delight, whether you are a piano person or not. Highly customizable and fun to tweak with surprising results just a few knob turns away."

Boumidjal X

Guillaume Roussel

"I found the Augmented grand piano a refreshing take on the piano sound, I often use piano in my compositions, so to have an alternative to the classic style,and be able to morph the sound in such a pleasing way was very inspiring to me. "

David Sztanke

Producer

"Very good concept, the sounds are very interesting and allow to go very far creatively. The morphing is very intuitive, a real pleasure to get lost in the possibilities of this beautiful instrument!"

De Grandi

Producer

"Augmented Brass is surprisingly versatile. The advanced panel, the modulations and the effects allows you to truly explore its whole potential. And if you don’t want to tweak too many parameters you can still browse the presets and use the macros and the Morph knob to get really interesting results very quickly."

Sacha Chaban

Composer

"As a film composer, I'm always looking to push the boundaries of sound, and compose music with personnality and character. Arturia's Augmented Brass is versatile enough to allow me to manipulate and customize the instrument to the point of it becoming a truly original sound. The possibilies are endless, from creating a standalone sound, to using it as a layer with a live brass section, adding texture, amplitude, edginess, and/or beauty."

Eric Neveux

Composer

"Already a huge fan of Arturia's synths, I just discovered the Augmented series, awesome for a film composer like me, coming originally from the electronic music scene and obsessed with the hybrid approach. Augmented BRASS is a blast! I am already using it in the new score I'm on."

Olivier Arson

Composer / Music scores

"The Augmented series is a superb tool for creating instant hybrid experimentation between acoustic sources and electronic timbres. The interface feels familiar right away, following the same logic as Pigments and for this Brass instalment, the samples feel really dynamic, never sound harsh and blend extremely well together."

Tusks

Songwriter / Producer

"Augmented Strings is perfect for creating emotive yet interesting textures in a really unique way."

Robert Dudzic

"Augmented STRINGS and Augmented VOICES have the power to add an organic sound quality and transform the sounds into interesting and powerful textures during more subjective design moments. "

Fabrizio Rat

La Machina / Cabaret Contemporain

"An innovative approach to mix acoustic piano sounds and electronic. I particularly love the possibilities of mixing and layering the high quality prepared piano samples (hammer noise, finger pluck, stick attack, paper attack) which are particularly inspiring to me."

Howie B

Paul Haslinger
