Augmented Series 8 is the complete bundle from Arturia's acclaimed Augmented instrument collection, bringing together all eight hybrid virtual instruments in one comprehensive package: Woodwinds, Mallets, Brass, Strings, Grand Piano, Voices, Yangtze, and PERSIA. Each instrument in the series fuses meticulously recorded, high-quality acoustic samples with a powerful hybrid synthesis engine — combining Virtual Analog (TAE®), Granular, Wavetable, Harmonic, and Simpler engines — to create sounds that morph fluidly between organic realism and electronic abstraction. Every title follows the same intuitive workflow: a Play page with Morph control and seven assignable macros (Time, Color, Motion, FX A, FX B, Reverb, Delay) for instant expression, plus a full advanced panel for deep layering and modulation. Each preset uses two layers, with up to two independent sound sources per layer, enabling rich, four-source hybrid patches. A 16-step arpeggiator with Chance lane and Auto Regen, a drag-and-drop modulation system, two FX slots per layer with sixteen effect types, and MPE plus MTS-ESP ODDSOUND microtuning support make the series a complete toolkit for modern cinematic and hybrid music production. The bundle is the ideal choice for composers, producers, and sound designers who require the full range of acoustic palettes — from contemplative Persian strings to evolving orchestral brass and dreamy piano textures.
