Arturia Augmented GRAND PIANO

Augmented GRAND PIANO is a software instrument that delivers a multitude of expressive, contemporary, and abstract piano sounds, beautifully recorded, fused with cutting-edge synthesis, and brought to life with powerful modulation & expression tailor-made for modern producers & composers.

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

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.

Sounds for every style
Theatrical concert grand richness, platinum trap & hip hop melodies, evolving metallic atmospheres, barely-recognizable hybrid effects; whatever your style, Augmented GRAND PIANO can make the piano work for you.

Transformative morphing
Animate your tracks with timbres that flow between familiar & far-out, acoustic & synthetic, and pure & transformed with the powerful Morph control. 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, affecting various parameters and ensuring that expressive dynamics, articulation, and timbral control is only ever a click away.

Deep sound design
Augmented GRAND PIANO is your shortcut to perfect 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.
