Key Features
The Arturia Augmented Persia is a hybrid instrument, combining a powerful synthesis engine with perfectly-sampled historic Persian instruments. The ideal solution for composers and producers exploring cinematic and cultural sound design, Augmented Persia combines detailed samples of Oud, Tar, Saz, Ney, and bowed strings with a powerful synthesis engine, giving you a wide tonal range to work with. You can move from natural, expressive performances to layered, evolving textures using the Morph control, all within a single interface.
With dual-engine architecture and multiple synthesis types, it's easy to shape sounds beyond their original character. The included macros, sequencing tools, and effects help you adjust tone and movement quickly, so you spend less time searching and more time creating. Whether you're building atmosphere, writing for screen, or experimenting with new textures, this instrument keeps everything direct and flexible.
Product Ref: 375665
Recorded in exclusive partnership with Evolution Series, the library features six essential instruments meticulously captured to provide a spectrum of timbres from deep, warm plucks to haunting, breathy winds. To ensure authenticity, Tremolo Swells were recorded at specific dynamic layers: the Oud at a soft dynamic for delicate builds, while the Tar and Saz were recorded at a loud dynamic for maximum percussive impact.
The technical architecture of Augmented Persia utilises the Augmented V2 dual-engine architecture, with flexible modulation routing. The v2 engine utilizes a sampler engine, for high fidelity plyback of the Evolution series library, layered with:
The "Augmented" layer includes "Processed" sounds—original instrument recordings transformed via boutique guitar pedal chains, heavy digital effects, and vintage tape machines. "Additional" samples provide non-instrumental atmospheres and SFX designed to complement the regional textures, resulting in unrecognizable, "future-ready" sonic artworks.
Fine-tune your sample and synth layers, then add modulation, arpeggiation, sequencing, effects, and macros in one streamlined interface designed for fast, musical exploration. Load a "hybrid" preset, hold down a single key, and use the Morph knob to create an evolving, complex, and atmospheric drone perfect for setting a scene. The sound shifts seamlessly from an authentic instrumental texture to a rich, synthetic pad. Perfect for an instant cinematic score!
The Morph control lets you move smoothly between acoustic and synthetic layers, making it easy to create evolving sounds. Hold a note and shift the texture in real time, ideal for drones, transitions, or cinematic builds. Alongside this, macros like Colour and Time adjust key characteristics instantly without slowing your workflow. There’s also an arpeggiator that works well with percussive plucked sounds, helping you generate rhythmic ideas that stay locked to your project tempo.
With over 200 presets available, you can start creating straight away. These range from natural instrument tones to layered pads, sequences, and atmospheric effects. The browser keeps everything organised, so you can quickly find a sound that fits your track. And when you want to tweak it, all the main controls are easy to reach in one interface — no need to dig through complex menus. It’s a setup that supports both quick ideas and more detailed sound design when you need it.
