Augmented 3-in-1 by Arturia

Bringing together three specialized software instruments into one collection, Augmented 3-in-1 by Arturia expands your palette with a dynamic fusion of detailed acoustic multi-sampling and modern synthesis engines. Featuring Augmented Grand Piano, Augmented Mallets, and Augmented Persia, this suite pairs authentic instrument recordings with Virtual Analog, Granular, Wavetable, Harmonic, and Simpler engines. At the center of every plugin is Arturia’s intuitive Morph macro, letting you seamlessly blend raw acoustic timbres into evolving, processed synth landscapes in real time. Whether you need intimate concert piano keys, glassy tuned percussion, or haunting Middle Eastern string and woodwind textures, this 3-in-1 expansion gives you instant access to hundreds of mix-ready presets, flexible modulation matrixes, and built-in 16-step arpeggiators.

Complete Breakdown of Included Instruments

• Augmented Grand Piano: Built on multi-sampled recordings of a late '80s Steinway Model D concert grand, this instrument merges expressive acoustic piano dynamics with flexible synthesis engines. It features processed piano samples, felted keys, and ambient recordings paired with adjustable pedal noise, hammer transients, and dedicated delay/reverb sends making it easy to shape everything from delicate film score cues to heavy, lo-fi hybrid keys.
• Augmented Mallets: Unites detailed acoustic recordings of marimba, vibraphone, celeste, and tubular bells with state-of-the-art synthesis engines. Captured in a spacious Dutch recording hall with premium tube microphones, it includes pure, bowed, and prepared articulations such as damped hits, coin scrapes, and tremolos to craft percussive melodic accents, metallic pads, and evolving sequence rhythms.
• Augmented Persia: Captures six authentic Middle Eastern instruments the Oud, Tar, Saz, Alto Kamancheh, Shah Kaman, and Ney recorded in collaboration with Evolution Series. It pairs soft and loud tremolo swells, breathy wind textures, and plucked string attacks with synth engines, processed pedal-chain samples, and non-instrumental atmospheric SFX to build cinematic underscores and exotic hybrid pads.

Dual-Layer Architecture and Seamless Morph Control

Each plugin in the Augmented 3-in-1 suite features a flexible dual-layer design (Layer A and Layer B), with each layer hosting up to two independent sound sources for a total of four parallel engines per patch. You can freely assign raw sample articulations to one side and pair them with Virtual Analog, Granular, Wavetable, or Additive Harmonic synthesis on the other. The central Morph knob modulates up to 12 parameters simultaneously, allowing you to transition from an authentic acoustic instrument to a complex, multi-layered electronic patch with a single gesture.

Advanced Modulation, Effects, and Performance Tools

Opening the Advanced view unlocks deep sound design controls, including two LFOs, two function generators, randomizers, and dynamic keyboard tracking. Each instrument layer includes two dedicated FX slots loaded with 16 studio-grade effects such as parametric EQ, bitcrusher, flanger, and distortion alongside master delay and convolution reverb sends. A built-in 16-step polymetric arpeggiator with a Chance lane and Auto-Regen feature adds dynamic movement to held notes, while full MPE compatibility provides polyphonic expression across all three instruments.
