Dear partner,

On Tuesday, April 21st at 6PM CET, Arturia will introduce the latest addition to their Augmented series.

Augmented PERSIA is a software instrument that unites the expressive depth of Persian and Middle Eastern instruments with the power of modern synthesis. 

From the resonant pluck of the Oud, Tar, and Saz to the breathy Ney and bowed intensity of Alto Kamancheh and Shah Kaman, each sound is captured in exceptional detail and can be morphed into bold, expressive hybrid textures.

EMBARGO until Tuesday, April 21st at 6PM CET

_Acoustic Instruments Reinvented

Augmented PERSIA is an exploration of a distinctive Persian and Middle Eastern musical palette, reimagined through a modern hybrid workflow. With 6 deeply-sampled instruments, expressive articulations, and Augmented’s multilayered synthesis architecture, it moves effortlessly from rooted acoustic timbres to cinematic movement, abstract texture, and contemporary sound design.

Access production-ready sounds instantly with intuitive preset browsing, then shape and transform them with Morph, macros, modulation, sequencing, and effects.
