Overview

Arturia Augmented WOODWINDS: Acoustic instruments reinvented for modern production

Expanded woodwind instruments by Arturia

Arturia Augmented WOODWINDS is a modern hybrid software instrument with a breathtaking, intuitive interface that fuses dynamically sampled acoustic instruments with cutting-edge synthesis to unleash a world of rich, powerful, and redefined woodwind sounds. Go beyond traditional woodwind sounds and experience a comprehensive palette of emotive, intimate, and powerful woodwind instruments perfect for modern composition and production.

Key features and benefits:

Hybrid engine for unparalleled soundscapes:

Seamless morphing: Fuse realistic instrument recordings with futuristic synth layers at will. Morph between traditional acoustic timbres and experimental synthesis for an evolving hybrid sound. The central morphing knob lets you tweak up to eight parameters simultaneously, constantly creating new timbres and colors.

Advanced synthesis: In addition to meticulous acoustic samples, the instrument features multiple flexible synth engines, including Virtual Analog with Arturia's award-winning TAE® technology, Granular for warped, glitchy, and stretched sounds, Wavetable for aggressive digital sounds, and a harmonic engine based on additive synthesis. The simple sample engine "Simpler" also allows you to add textures, loops, and atmospheric effects.

A wide and authentic woodwind palette:

A detailed sample library: 56 detailed articulations recorded over two sessions at renowned orchestral scoring stages in Eastern Europe. 11 skilled musicians played solos and ensembles using the finest Millennia preamps and high-end microphones. Astonishing depth and realism.

Wide range of instruments: Includes a wide range of woodwind instruments, including elemental solos of clarinet, bassoon, English horn, and flute, perfect for emotive leads and melodies. Plus, an 11-piece ensemble for rich, dynamic textures. Instruments cover a wide range of tones, including clarinet, bassoon, oboe, flute, contrabassoon, bass clarinet, bass flute, and piccolo.

Processed samples: Includes samples that have been uniquely processed using FX hardware to create futuristic and abstract woodwind sounds.

Get instant inspiration with 300+ presets:

Composition-ready textures: Discover an inspiring library of mix-ready sounds for instant inspiration, from classic tones to experimental textures.

VARIETY OF CATEGORIES: Presets include lush orchestral timbres (e.g. "Agios", "Andromeda's Voices"), dense synthetic textures (e.g. "Reedemption", "Unity") and atmospheric hybrids (e.g. "Autumn", "Noisy Swell").

REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS: Hear it in action on tracks as diverse as the organic cinematic "Morning Dew", the vibrant modern pop of "My World", the rhythmic trailer track "Solaris", the evolving electronic "Woodwind Drive", the classical orchestral "No, you" and the organic orchestral lo-fi of "Autumn Forest".

EXPRESSIVE CONTROLS & SOUND DESIGN:

Intuitive Macro Controls: Instantly tweak any sound with per-preset assignable macros (Time, Color, Motion, FX A, FX B, Reverb, Delay). Macros can control up to eight parameters, allowing you to instantly change tone, character, color, pitch, and more.

Flexible modulation system: Take advantage of two LFOs, two function generators, two random sources, four keyboard modulation sources, and tempo-synced vibrato and tremolo. Create your own modulation routings with the intuitive drag-and-drop assignment system.

Built-in arpeggiator and sequencer: Evolve patterns to add rhythmic movement and depth with the versatile 16-step arpeggiator with chance lanes and autoplay.

Extensive effects: Two independent effects can be placed on each of the two sound layers, so you can use four effects at once. 14 effects are available, including ParamEQ, Bitcrusher, and BL-20 Flanger. Global effects include three types of delay and two types of reverb.

MPE support and microtuning: MPE support provides sensitive polyphonic control for dynamic and realistic performances. It also supports MTS-ESP ODDSOUND microtuning.

Seamless Workflow Integration:

DAW Compatible: Augmented WOODWINDS fits right into your setup, offering full compatibility with major DAWs on Windows and MacOS, including Standalone, VST, AAX, Audio Unit and NKS (64-bit DAW only).

Smart Preset Browser: Find the sounds you want instantly by searching by keyword, instrument type or musical style, or save your favorites.

Intuitive Interface: Features a clear, streamlined interface with a resizable GUI and integrated in-app tutorials that guide you through every aspect of the instrument.
