Description
Unleash the emotive power of traditional Persian and Middle Eastern music with the Arturia Augmented Persia Hybrid Virtual Instrument Plugin. This innovative software harnesses the rich tonal qualities of instruments like the ney, oud, and kamancheh and propels them into the modern musical landscape with a hybrid engine that merges acoustic realism with cutting-edge synthesis. Designed for those who wish to explore beyond conventional soundscapes, Augmented Persia offers over 200 meticulously crafted presets, ranging from organic textures to expansive, cinematic soundscapes.
At its core, this plugin captures the evocative essence of time-honored instruments while offering the flexibility to reshape them using five distinct synthesis engines, including Virtual Analog and Granular. The dual-layer architecture allows you to blend two sound sources per layer, providing endless avenues for sonic exploration. With its intuitive drag-and-drop modulation interface, you can effortlessly shape your sound, making it as simple or as complex as your composition demands.
For composers and sound designers, the built-in arpeggiator and sequencing tools transform basic chords into intricate, evolving patterns, adding motion and depth to your projects. Additionally, the MPE compatibility ensures an expressive performance experience, allowing for detailed control over the dynamics and nuances that define these instruments.

On Arturia's artist page, Sami Galbi is quoted saying:
The Augmented PERSIA offers a wide range of sounds organized in 4 synths / samples sources. Both the source layering and the control sections allow infinite possibilities to shape your sound. I personally liked diving in the pad section and would gladly use it to design specific ambiances, shape drones or risers.
