What it is
Augmented Grand Piano is Arturia's hybrid virtual piano, built around a deeply sampled Steinway Model D layered with Arturia's TAE-powered virtual analog, granular, harmonic, and wavetable synthesis engines. A central Morph control blends between the acoustic piano samples and the synthetic layers, letting you move from a straightforward concert grand to processed, cinematic, and abstract piano-based textures in real time.
Who it's for
Composers and producers who want more than a static piano sample library - film and game composers building cinematic cues, pop and hip-hop producers layering felt-piano pads under a beat, and sound designers who want piano-rooted textures they can push into synth territory.
Key features
- Two-layer, four-source hybrid engine combining sampled piano with Virtual Analog, Granular, Harmonic, and Wavetable synthesis
- Seven macro controls (Time, Color, Motion, FX A, FX B, Reverb, Delay) for fast one-knob sound shaping
- Built-in 16-step arpeggiator with chance and auto-regeneration, plus MPE support for expressive per-note control
- Around 300 factory presets covering classic acoustic piano through cinematic and experimental hybrid tones
