A Grand Reimagining
Open the lid on a totally modernized piano VST experience.
From the authentic to the impossible, unlock premium piano sounds for cinematic score & library composition, immersive game soundscapes, and slick modern DAW production with an intuitive & inspiring piano experience that transcends virtual instruments.

Piano timbres unheard
Augmented GRAND PIANO alters the sound of a timeless instrument into something new. From galaxy-spanning granular sustain to felt tones twisted and transformed with racks of studio gear, take your piano as off-piste as you dare.

Production-ready sounds
Theatrical concert grand richness, platinum cinematic textures, evolving metallic atmospheres, barely-recognizable hybrid effects; whatever your style, Augmented GRAND PIANO can make the piano work for you.

Construct your sound
Customize every aspect of your piano timbre with 2 distinct layers, each including 2 sound sources, letting you weave your own compound textures with whatever combination of samples and synthesis you need.

Transformative morphing
Animate your tracks with timbres that flow between familiar & far-out, acoustic & synthetic, pure & transformed. The powerful Morph control lets you move between your sound layers and make broad changes to multiple aspects of your sound with one control.

Instant expression
Customize and interact with Augmented GRAND PIANO’s sound intuitively with its array of straightforward macro controls and responsive connections to velocity and aftertouch, ensuring that expressive dynamics, articulation, and timbral control is only ever a click away.

Deep sound design
Augmented GRAND PIANO is your shortcut to compelling piano sounds, but its advanced panel lets you go deeper when your project calls for it. Add complex modulation, keep it moving with smart arpeggiation, and fine-tune your sound layers in one place.

Sampling
The rich sound of a Steinway Model D, the most famous grand piano of all time, expertly recorded in a host of weird & wonderful ways; with felt damping, with ping pong balls, with a vintage tape machine, and more. A practical piano sample library with an experimental edge.

Synthesis
Add sub depth to your piano bass, intensify your piano chords with in-your-face noisy textures, or gnarl your soft melodies with dissonant harmonic reflections. Augmented GRAND PIANO features 4 modes of synthesis: Virtual Analog, Granular, Wavetable, and Harmonic.
