Augmented 8 Series

The deal

$349 at Audio Plugin Deals (down from $1,192, 71% off). Deal ends October 9, 2026.

What it is

Augmented 8 Series is Arturia's full hybrid instrument bundle, combining eight plugins that pair detailed acoustic multi-sampling with synthesis engines like Virtual Analog, Granular, Wavetable, Harmonic, and Simpler. Each instrument runs a dual-layer engine with a central Morph control that blends real acoustic tone with evolving synth textures in real time, covering strings, voices, grand piano, mallets, brass, woodwinds, and Chinese and Middle Eastern instrument sets (Yangtze and Persia).

Who it's for

Film and game composers, and electronic or pop producers who want organic-sounding instruments they can twist into synthetic textures without stacking multiple sample libraries and synths.

Key features

• Eight full hybrid instruments in one bundle, covering strings, voices, piano, mallets, brass, woodwinds, and world instruments
• Dual-layer architecture with up to four active sound sources per patch
• Morph control that modulates up to eight parameters at once to shift from acoustic to synthetic in real time
• Built-in 16-step arpeggiators, dual LFOs, function generators, and 16 studio-grade effects per layer, available as VST/VST3/AU/AAX and standalone with full NKS support
