A Grand
Reimagining

Open the lid on a totally modernized piano VST experience.

From the authentic to the impossible, unlock premium piano sounds for cinematic score & library composition, immersive game soundscapes, and slick modern DAW production with an intuitive & inspiring piano experience that transcends virtual instruments.

Piano timbres unheard

Augmented GRAND PIANO alters the sound of a timeless instrument into something new. From galaxy-spanning granular sustain to felt tones twisted and transformed with racks of studio gear, take your piano as off-piste as you dare.

Production-ready sounds

Theatrical concert grand richness, platinum cinematic textures, evolving metallic atmospheres, barely-recognizable hybrid effects; whatever your style, Augmented GRAND PIANO can make the piano work for you.

Construct your sound

Customize every aspect of your piano timbre with 2 distinct layers, each including 2 sound sources, letting you weave your own compound textures with whatever combination of samples and synthesis you need.

Transformative morphing

Animate your tracks with timbres that flow between familiar & far-out, acoustic & synthetic, pure & transformed. The powerful Morph control lets you move between your sound layers and make broad changes to multiple aspects of your sound with one control.

Instant expression

Customize and interact with Augmented GRAND PIANO’s sound intuitively with its array of straightforward macro controls and responsive connections to velocity and aftertouch, ensuring that expressive dynamics, articulation, and timbral control is only ever a click away.

Deep sound design

Augmented GRAND PIANO is your shortcut to compelling piano sounds, but its advanced panel lets you go deeper when your project calls for it. Add complex modulation, keep it moving with smart arpeggiation, and fine-tune your sound layers in one place.

Morphing:
a full piano continuum

It starts with a grand piano; where it ends is up to you.

A detailed library of authentic & abstract piano samples. A built-in synthesis engine with 4 powerful modes. Numerous forms of modulation, expression, and FX. Augmented GRAND PIANO’s central Morph control lets you seamlessly move between all of these aspects with a single sweep.

Sampling

The rich sound of a Steinway Model D, the most famous grand piano of all time, expertly recorded in a host of weird & wonderful ways; with felt damping, with ping pong balls, with a vintage tape machine, and more. A practical piano sample library with an experimental edge.

Synthesis

Add sub depth to your piano bass, intensify your piano chords with in-your-face noisy textures, or gnarl your soft melodies with dissonant harmonic reflections. Augmented GRAND PIANO features 4 modes of synthesis: Virtual Analog, Granular, Wavetable, and Harmonic.

Augmented GRAND PIANO is designed to be simple to use, giving you maximum control over your sound with minimal hassle. Interact with a handful of intuitive controls and enjoy ever-evolving sounds that you’ll keep coming back to.

  • Morph

    Make sweeping changes to multiple elements in your sound with the Morph control. Move between your sample & synthesis sound layers, and simultaneously tweak up to 8 assignable parameters for dramatic timbral changes within one preset.

  • FX, Delay, Reverb

    The final piece to Augmented GRAND PIANO’s sonic puzzle. The dedicated Delay and Reverb master FX add space and time-based ambience to your sound, plus you can assign 2 custom FX per sound layer for your own flavor of coloration.

  • Color, Time, Motion

    If your sound needs a little more, a little less, or just something a little different, these 3 macro controls affect things like envelope time, filtering, modulations, and more, offering quick & instinctive control over the shape and character of your sound.

sound design

Detailed control over your piano sounds - when you need it.

Underneath its simple layout and quick controls, Augmented GRAND PIANO offers all the flexibility and customization you need to truly make it your own. From sound layers to intricate modulation, it’s all right here.

It all starts with Augmented GRAND PIANO’s sound engines. Two layers, each containing two engines, for a total of 4 fully-customizable sound sources. With these 4 sound sources, you can assign up to 2 sample engines and 2 synthesis engines, then adjust details like filter cutoff and envelope times.

Inject movement and variety into your sound with click-and-drag modulation routing in seconds. Assign multiple LFOs, functions generators, keyboard controls, and more, with almost every element of Augmented GRAND PIANO available as a modulation destination.

If you’re not a piano player, or you simply want to experiment with precise metronomic motion in your sound, the built-in 16-step polymetric Arpeggiator has the answers. Turn soft open-lid chords into dancing melodies, processed hammers into percussive elements, or a single note into a pulsing synth-esque motif.

Dial in your own flavors of crunch, sound-sculpting, or total transformation with 2 stereo FX slots per layer, and add the final spatial and time-based touches with Delay and Reverb on the master bus at the end of the chain.

The brains behind Augmented GRAND PIANO’s central macro controls. See your assigned parameters and adjustments in real-time, and make detailed changes to ensure that your sound responds just how you want it to.

Like you’ve never
heard it before

These aren’t just high-quality samples. Augmented GRAND PIANO’s library features detailed recordings of a late ‘80s Steinway Model D, widely considered to be the greatest grand piano of all time.

A selection of atypical samples in Augmented GRAND PIANO : Ping Pong, Bowed, Balinese Beach, Burning Amp, and Gramophonic.

And that’s only the beginning. The library features familiar & authentic articulations suited to both classical & contemporary music, but it also contains a variety of unique outside-the-box recordings. Piano played with ping pong balls, with a bow, with paper in between the strings. We also went one step further by processing these sounds through tape machines, pedals, studio gear, and more.

Even before morphing, modulation, or FX, Augmented GRAND PIANO ranges from authentic piano to sounds that simply aren’t possible with the traditional instrument.

A perfect production

    Morphing feature offers infinite possibilities. It makes pianos and pads extremely alive It gives access to very advanced melodies very quickly, it allows me to do chord progressions that I would never have thought.

  • Chris Dudley

    Underøath

    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.

  • Anthony J Resta

    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.

  • 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.

  • Boumidjal X

    Producer

    I really liked the VST Augmented Piano from Arturia. Easy to use and with a wide range of sounds, it is perfect for any kind of production. Special mention for the "Electrapluck" preset.

  • Guillaume Roussel

    Composer / Music scores

    Augmented Piano inspires you instantly! Diving into the presets is a musical journey on its own. I love how the reel samples blends with the synth sounds. It definitely will be featured in my scores soon!

  • Portable

    Producer

    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!
