Released Too Soon? Arturia Augmented Strings Intro FREE: Cheapskate Chooseday
https://www.arturia.com/
Arturia are known for making amazing analog simulations of vintage gear from yesteryear but can they tap into the modern hybrid scoring market of today competing with companies such as Spitfire, Output and Native Instruments? In this video I take a brief look at Arturia’s new Augmented Strings Intro, this is a morphing instrument that has four layers of sounds some organic and some synthetic. Those layers can be morphed to allow the patch to evolve and change over time.
Perfect for scoring and any number of styles where you might want long layered pads. Currently it’s FREE but I assume will soon become a paid instrument in the future, however, as far as I’m concerned this instrument still needs time to evolve itself to become a truly inspiring instrument to play and use. The sounds are great but usability has some drawbacks. Watch the video to find out why.
Even though I have a few misgivings about Augmented Strings Intro you won't be disappointed with the sounds it can produce and until April 30th you can download it completely FREE from the Arturia website:
