Key Features
The Arturia Augmented Grand Piano is a powerful virtual instrument blending sampling and synthesis to deliver versatile tailor-made acoustic piano sounds. Transform the classic piano sound into a fresh, innovative experience. From granular sustains that evoke cosmic vibes to felt tones modified with cutting-edge studio equipment, this tool allows you to push your piano's boundaries. Whether you're after a rich concert grand ambience, cinematic platinum textures, evolving metallic atmospheres, or unique hybrid effects, Augmented grand piano adapts to your style effortlessly.
Combining multiple layers of expressive samples and cutting-edge synthesis, Augmented Grand Piano gives you unprecedented flexibility and authenticity to your tracks. Personalize your piano's tonality by utilizing two unique layers, each containing two sound sources, allowing you to create complex textures by combining samples and synthesis as needed. Enhance your piano bass with added sub-depth, amplify your piano chords with striking, attention-grabbing textures, and transform your delicate melodies with discordant harmonic echoes. Augmented grand piano offers four synthesis methods: Virtual Analog, Granular, Wavetable, and Harmonic. Going beyond conventional sample libraries and VSTs, elevate your piano sounds to inspiring new levels.
Presented in a quick and intuitive surface interface with layers of depth beneath it, Augmented Grand Piano gives you the tools to experiment with a unique and evolving sound, the ability to tune in intricate modulation, create dynamic sequences, customise sound sources, and much more.

Built around a multi-layer system combining a detailed library of authentic piano samples and a synthesis engine with four distinct modes, Augmented Grand Piano offers a unique process for producing unique tones that match your track perfectly. Morph between the two with a simple intelligent dial to produce a unique sonic space between the two elements. Furthermore, with up to eight custom destinations, the morph control offers a wide range of musical expression options without limits to configuration and character all within a single touch.
A meticulously curated and built-in sample library is carefully designed to capture the rich sound of the grand piano, alongside a host of weird and wonderful alternative recordings; with felt damping, ping pong balls, a vintage tape machine, and more. Each and every sample demonstrates lifelike space detail and energy. Dial in the perfect sound with a full ADSR envelope, and make subtle tweaks or drastic changes with filter sculpting and sample mic blend.
Four distinct synthesis engines provide a wide range of sonic potentials, from subtle textures to otherwordly soundscapes that can either bolster or transform your piano sounds. Inspired by the complex synthesis architecture found in the critically acclaimed Arturia Pigments and V collection, you'll get access to analog, granular, wavetable, and harmonic synthesis engines, each with the full range of parameters you would expect. Each engine is a fully-fledged instrument providing everything from huge sub-bass to digital pads filled with harmonic detail.
Augmented Grand Piano delivers comprehensive sound design capabilities, granting users detailed control over their piano sounds. With its user-friendly interface and customizable sound engines, users can create unique audio experiences by adjusting various settings and layering sound sources. The built-in 16-step polymetric arpeggiator allows for experimentation with metronomic motion, while multiple FX slots and modulation options provide further creative freedom. Additionally, the macro controls enable real-time monitoring and fine-tuning of assigned parameters for a truly personalized sound experience.
"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." - Portable (Producer)
"It's truly a sound designer's delight, whether you are a piano person or not. Highly customisable and fun to tweak with surprising results just a few knob turns away." - Murcof (Composer/Producer)
