Arturia

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.

Sound sculpting: Simplicity – Discover inspiring, refreshing piano sounds in seconds.

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.

1. 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.
2. 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
3. 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.

Deeper 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.

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.

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 piano library:  Evocative & professional piano sound in seconds.

Augmented GRAND PIANO comes loaded with over 300 mix-ready sounds, sorted by style, timbre, and sound designer. Unlock the inspiring piano sounds you’ve always wanted, from emotive film score tones to otherworldly video game ambience, razor-sharp synth-infused sounds to delicate modern ballad textures.
