Arturia Augmented Voices Software Instrument

Two worlds of sound, one simple function

Augmented Voices thrives due to its tremendous sonic range, operating with two primary, parallel layers: the sampled and the synthesized. Lifelike, world-class samples can be used to stunning, evocative affect, thanks to its dedicated recording and re-creation. State-of-the-art synthesis architecture delivers a vast array of rich sounds, ranging from retro to futuristic. Whether it’s an explosive bass or a transcendental pad, use the Morph function to freely blend the digital with the real, yielding unprecedented opportunities for brilliant harmonic texturizing tools. Bolster a traditional vocal chorus, or construct something wholly unearthly — the choice is yours, and the choices are endless.

Voices, synths, and sounding between the lines

The sample library is built on six multi-talented vocalist’s diverse offerings, including 21 male articulations and 30 female articulations with over 80 hours of vocal recording. World-class recording technologies, renowned microphones, and international studios were used to faithfully capture the dimensional depth of these voices, re-creating the detail, energy, and room-feel of live vocals. The ingenuity behind Pigments and V Collection sounds are explored through four synth engines: virtual analog, granular, wavetable, and harmonic. Paint soundscapes with genre-defying color, supplementing intimate voicing or bombastic choruses with endless textural opportunity, pairing perfectly every from the dance floor to the Odeon.

Morph-ology and the FX fortress

Eight master parameters comprise the core “Morph” function that conducts these blends. Color, time, and motion controls can be fine-tuned on the fly, each adjusting multiple sub-parameters, bringing forth dynamic adjustments to synth controls, modulators, filter placements, and more. Delay and reverb master effects can wash your strings in space, or be controlled with nuance, using five spatial/time-based algorithms for otherworldly textures. Color your vocals with function generators, random generators, LFOs, vibrato, tremolo, a bitcrusher, flanger, and more. Take it up another notch with the built-in 16-step arpeggiator, producing impossible phrases and sequences, and adding unreal motion, including an intuitive polymetric tool. The Augmented Voices suite is ready to go, right out of the box, working as a standalone instrument or alongside every major DAW. Plus, it welcomes seamless MIDI integration as well.
