Arturia's Augmented Strings is a multifaceted plugin demonstrating two distinct elements. On one side, a complete recorded library of solo and ensemble string samples. On the other, there are four powerful synth engines. Morph between the two with a simple intelligent dial to produce a unique sonic space between these two elements. Furthermore, with up to eight extra custom destinations, the morph control offers a wide range of musical expression options with a single touch without limits to configuration and character.
The built-in sample library of Arturia Augmented Strings lets you delve into realistic and expressive string sounds, rivalling even the most experienced real orchestras. In the recording of Augmented Strings' sample library 22 musicians performed as soloists and as an ensemble with more than 60 articulations across double bass, cello, viola, and violin. Captured with world-class microphones and preamps in various positions, every sample demonstrates lifelike space, detail and energy. You can define the articulation of every sample to find the perfect space, depth and expression to fit into your mix. Make subtle tweaks or drastic changes, from filter sculpting to sample mic blend.
Four distinct synthesis engines provide a range of tonal possibilities, from subtle textures to otherworldly soundscapes. Enjoy virtual analog, granular, wavetable, and harmonic synthesis, each with its own range of parameters. Inspired by the synthesis architecture within the acclaimed Arturia Pigments and V Collection, each engine is a fully-fledged instrument providing everything from huge sub-bass to digital pads filled with harmonic detail.
Augmented STRINGS offers advanced sound design with a user-friendly interface and diverse preset library for quick results. The Advanced panel provides detailed control over sound sources, modulation, performance, and more. Adjust the dual engines within each layer for up to four sound sources, including any combination of sampling and synthesis engines. Easily apply modulation routing and utilize the built-in 16-step arpeggiator to create dynamic acoustic textures. Customize your sound with FX slots, Delay, and Reverb for a polished final product. The command center displays real-time macro control adjustments, ensuring precision during performance and recording.
