The deal

$99 at KVR Marketplace (down from $149), a 33% discount. The sale runs through August 19, 2026.

What it is

Augmented Brass is a hybrid virtual instrument from Arturia that pairs sampled brass recordings with synthesized tone generation. The library spans chamber trumpets and cinematic orchestral ensembles alongside processed, experimental textures, and a dedicated morph control lets you blend smoothly between the sampled and synthesized layers rather than picking one or the other.

Who it's for

Composers scoring trailers, film, and games who need brass that can move from realistic orchestral swells to synthetic hybrid textures within the same patch. Also useful for producers in cinematic hip-hop, EDM, and other genres who want brass sounds with more character than a standard sample pack.

Key features

• A real-time morph control blends sampled brass with synthesized layers for tones that sit between acoustic and electronic
• Four synth engines - Virtual Analog, Granular, Wavetable, and Harmonic - sit underneath the sample library for deeper sound design than typical brass instruments
• Hundreds of presets cover chamber, orchestral, and experimental starting points
• An advanced panel adds modulation, arpeggiation, and effects, while macro controls keep quick tweaks simple
