Key Features
The Arturia Augmented Brass is a hybrid synthesizer plug-in that combines acoustically-sampled brass instruments with a unique synthesis engine. Built with cutting-edge synth engines, Augmented Brass can transform familiar sounds into something completely different and exciting. From emotive chamber ensembles to ethereal pads and textures, you can manipulate the spaces in between instrument and synth with a wide range of advanced sound design inside Augmented Brass.
The two-layer design allows you to customise the source per layer and go into depth, adjusting parameters including the filtering, envelope and sample playback. Morp between the layers using the main dial will blend the two sources in a highly musical way to reshape existing sounds into something new. Seven different Macro controls let you adjust settings on-the-fly and can be customised in their own menu, adjusting everything from the LFO rate of the Motion control to the FX type in your FX dial.
Additional creative tools are included to help add movement and vibrancy to your sounds. A 16-step arpeggiator, newly designed modulation panel with enhanced functionality and two-slot FX send with up to 14 FX to choose from are all included to help add the finishing touches to your sound. Struggling for inspiration? Dive into immediately rewarding sounds with the hundreds of included presets and explore how Augmented Brass can take your music to new heights.

Using cutting-edge synthesis engines, Augmented Brass can reshape what you think is possible with a traditional brass instrument library. Thought of as the dynamic sample library, you can achieve full orchestral brass to chamber horns all the way to wild tape degraded sustain. Morphing between your acoustic sounds and the powerful synth engine allows for exciting sweeps between the real and unreal, letting you blur the lines for truly unique soundscapes.
On the surface, Augmented Brass is an intuitive instrument with just the right amount of dials to get virtually every sound you could imagine. Under the hood, you can dive into individual windows for the Macro controls, taking a deep dive into their internal parameters to fine-tune them for your requirements.
Explore the potential of your instrument samples and synthesis by adjusting the layers. Alter the sample playback, change envelope shapes, customise filter slopes and curves or pan layers independently for a wide stereo field. Adjust the parameters of each Macro, assigning different parameters to the one main dial on the interface for an evolving range of tones from only one knob. Add some movement to your sound and adjust the Motion LFO, customising the rate, shape, envelope and much more, all while letting it run free or tempo-synced to your host's BPM. Not sure what to do here? Let the Randomizer take hold and discover weird and wonderful movements to your brass. You can also go deep into each of the two FX banks, changing what FX is engaged and the associated parameters for the perfect final touches to your sound.
Finely tuned settings, morphing and synthesis engines have been implemented in Augmented Brass to make sure that virtually nothing you do will ever sound bad. With every new session, you load up the instrument you will discover new sounds from the last but should you struggle to find just the right sound for your music, Arturia has included hundreds of expertly crafted presets to get you started. From familiar brass timbres for more conventional music to experimental sounds fit for the latest blockbuster sci-fi adventure, there's a sound for every style and genre.
The tremendous range of sonic lands you can traverse with Augmented Brass wouldn't be possible without the clever and streamlined interface design. Taking onboard user feedback from previous Augmented instruments, Arturia has ensured that the workflow and visual feedback within Augmented Brass delivers the same fluid performance experience.
As simple or complex as you need it, you can stay on the main interface page for quick, creative decisions or dive into the individual parameter menus for more surgical control. New for Augmented Brass, Individual part panning and keyboard offset has been included.
