Anyone tried the new Augmented GRAND PIANO?

Sounds pretty good to me, but I am not sure if I already have something similar.

I think it’s pretty similar to the other two in the Augmented series. It’s clever but a little limited. I think of it more as a collection of nice patches. It was only $29 as I own a bunch of other things so I got it. I have enjoyed it and have used it on a couple tracks this week.
The Augmented stuff reminds me of all the “instruments” that Native Instruments has been releasing. I prefer using the Arturia versions more though not entirely sure why.

Thanks for the comments. Pretty much the same thoughts here, especially because of the $29 price for me as well. I will sleep on it for a few days as there are about 10 days still left in the sale.

Yeah, they seem to be a blend of NI and Output products. Nice GUIs too. Looks like we can expect Brass, Woodwinds, and many more instruments in the future under Augmented Series.

Check your Arturia account for some great offers on V Collection and FX Collection (if eligible): https://www.arturia.com/myarturia#account

Hint: That $99 V Collection upgrade price people have been asking for. Guess it could be even less for some.

Nice! Looks like my crossgrade price from Analog Lab Intro to V Collection 9 is $149. Best deal of the year for me.

$149 V-Collection for me, and I "only" have Pigments and Analog Lab.

I've seen posts (past and present) from users who just have freebies getting the same offer(s), so it's worth a check even if you aren't a paying customer.

I think I already have everything. Just waiiting for the 50% off soundpacks. Some of the newer ones are right up my alley.

Vintage porn sounds that is.

I have SQ80V, and the V Collection crossgrade is still $200. Damn, I want that MS-20 synth. It sounds so much better than the old KORG version.

€99 to upgrade from 8 to 9, I only bought 8 just before they released 9 though with that decent upgrade deal from Pigments so probably sit this one out, FX Collection is €69 though, owning just the free plugs they gave away tempting, would instant buy if it included their new coldfire distortion but they have annoyingly kept it seperate and it's really Coldfire why I want the collection

LoveEnigma18 · Post by **LoveEnigma18** » Tue Nov 15, 2022 5:33 pm

€69 for FX Collection 3 is an incredible deal even if you like/use only a few. Maybe you could buy FX Collection 3 and then request Arturia Support for a good deal on Dist COLDFIRE, as it will probably be a long wait for FX Collection 4.
