Arturia Augmented PERSIA was created for sound designers and composers and enables users to switch between futuristic textures and organic acoustic recordings with ease, producing incredibly expressive, cinematic sounds. A virtual instrument called Arturia Augmented PERSIA adds the emotion and depth of traditional Middle Eastern and Persian music to your compositions.
The innovative hybrid software instrument Arturia Augmented PERSIA combines deep, contemporary synthesis with the emotional tones of classic Middle Eastern instruments The plugin simulates the sound of six real instruments: the breathing ney, the lively saz, the soft and honeyed timbre of the oud, the ringing tar, and two bowed instruments, the alto kamancheh and the shah kaman, each of which captures the distinct ambiance of Eastern culture.
Characteristics:
- The instrument’s special characteristic is its ability to smoothly convert live, acoustic sounds into contemporary synthetic textures.
- You begin with a recording of a real instrument and quickly add electronic layers, shimmer, echo, or wild distortions.
- You may easily find the ideal mood for your work by using basic settings to alter the sound’s nature, such as making it softer or brighter, adding movement, volume, or rhythmic pattern.
Engine for Hybrid Synthesis
The Augmented V2 dual-engine is the core component of Arturia Augmented PERSIA. This engine uses four potent synthesis types to layer the sound samples. Warm, traditional subtractive synthesis is a virtual analogue.
- Granular: For cutting-edge, ambient textures, recordings are cut into tiny grains.
- Wavetable: Developing digital timbres for crisp, contemporary motion.
- Harmonic: Additive synthesis for metallic, intricate overtones
Augmented PERSIA can be used for a variety of activities, including experimenting with ethnic elements in pop, electronic, and experimental music or producing meditative and dramatic soundtracks.
Without recording live instruments or delving deeply into technical aspects, the tool enables you to instantly find inspiration and infuse your music with distinctive expressiveness, depth, and cultural flavour.
