Tutorials | Augmented VOICES - Overview

[@adittyag9994]

All credits to the preset makers for the excellent sounds. But honestly, this looks lika Pigments sound bank marketed as a separate instrument with fancy graphics. Not sure why this is a part of a "Vintage Collection".

[@petedako]

Mon Dieux. Si belle! Je viens enfin de passer à la V8 mais je ne pense pas pouvoir tenir plus longtemps avant de devoir envoyer de l'argent pour la mise à niveau.

[@cavedwellersound]

my thoughts exactly

[@jmaz1100]

How is this not Pigments?

[@stephen303]

That's sorta what I'm wondering. Pigments even has some vocal-based sound banks that kinda sound like this. And also, Pigments can load in two synth engines then you can blend them however you want. Essentially you can recreate something similar to this, but the interface is way different.

Great video!

Fire!

love it

7:28 rich, natural, authentic recordings... 7:34 Real Voices... Sorry, is it just me? I don't hear very good samples. They sound thin and synthetic to me. Do I miss something or was it just a bad example. Would like to hear other opinions. Maybe some people already tested the base samples and can share their experiences... Thanks in advance.

[@worshipdemons]

can you add your own samples?

[@lambrase1]

Unlike native instrument, it’s MPE

[@DeepHipilossa]

The instrument is... Ok, very "NI" if you know what I mean, still prefer the "hardware emulation Arturia", I think that's what they're best at. But it's true that most of the greats had already been emulated (and some of them pretty well). Perhaps classic drum machines, there u have a fertile ground... The point is I don't think incluiding "Augmented" series in V Collection (which are in essence keys emulations) is the right path to take, seems a little bit forced, but hey... Oh by the way, what a charisma Lena! This is how u make a tutorial, not rushing it but still absolutely involved in what you're saying. Way to go! You now have a fan from Buenos Aires Argentina haha

[@robinbramlett110]

I hear you. It reminds me of NI’s Pharlight.

[@chitlun]

I know what you mean but I think they scored a winner with Pigments, it’s a killer synth! However, the Augmented series seem to be a scaled down Pigments so not sure what they’re aiming for?

[@DeepHipilossa]

@@chitlun But that's the point: Pigments is not a part of the V Collection, right? And it makes perfect sense... If this is the path they're taking, they could sell two different collections, one for vintage synths (like V) and a modern software (Komplete-like) one. And improve the later with more "augmented" instruments or Pigments expantions, while V Collection could grow with some not-explored and highly demanded market, like drum machines for example. Arturia could kill with those... Geez, guess they should hire me already! haha

[@DL-1]

​@DeepHipilossa which is better... Pigments or Analog Lab Pro?

Who was operating the mouse?

[@xXValomatXx]

...I wonder why the right hand is trying to give vibrato to the keys... :D

[@JamesLloydKeyboardist]

Maybe she thought it was a Roli 🎹. 😉

[@macronencer]

Looks really powerful. I think they did an especially good job with that arpeggiator interface!

[@786itube]

I got this and am most impressed not only with this iteration, but generally with Arturia’s exquisite range of products. Great presentation as well. Thanks

[@TebogoMotlhale]

a veryyyy amazing instrument i mus say . . .. but . . . as for the pure WHITE interface (hair salon theme) . . . i Don't know what to say hey 😆😆

[@Chris-vc1dh]

I have pack of Arturia 500 how can I get full pack?

[@MRFThorne]

Very helpful and useful commentary. Interesting to see the slightly different take Arturia has taken with Authentic Strings and Authentic Voices in the V9 collection.

[@l.romain6447]

Only thing making want to upgrade is the piano upgrade.

[@hellodavidryan]

What’s interesting here is that we’re seeing Arturia shifting focus. The influence of the Native Instruments Kontakt products is clear, and the A/B layering format has established well enough. I’m curious why this is included in V9, as I expect this is a product line with a long roadmap that pushes into the vertical that NI and UJAM and Spitfire and even Akai are gaining traction in. The resource cost to take the Pigments engine and create “sound theme” hybrid products is less intensive and can ship more regularly than instrument emulations. Likewise this is a clever way to market a hybrid product given sound banks aren’t very exciting or novel (I’d be surprised if they generate significant revenue for Arturia as a product line, even if COGS is negligible). My guess is we see these carve out of future V10 or so, and end up in a subscription or other bundling. Personally I’ve used Arturia since 2004 in studio and on tour, and I even had an Origin supplied by the distributor for a while back in the day. Love the company and can’t live without the V or FX series. But string and voice is… just okay. Not for me. Hope it doesn’t clutter up the synth bundle. As a career SaaS Product Manager it feels like two product lines with distinctly different user personas holding each other back and potentially muddying their verticals. Obviously the detail of the UI means there’s a lot more of these on the roadmap, but… please, carve them out. Let them shine in their own category and good luck.

[@bvtsu.]

So beautiful ♥️♥️♥️

[@REVERENDOJONESOfficialChannel]

what's the utility too have A-E-I-O-U vocal samples? can you chose to start play sample at any vowel start point?

[@l.romain6447]

If I wanted an native instrument type synth I would use their stuff. Thing is I don’t use their stuff much. 🤷🏿‍♀️. Might not use this either. It’s convenient tho.

[@cavedwellersound]

Hi wonderful tutorial, is it possible to upload your own vocal samples to this?

[@stoneweather]

purchased this earlier today and i'm not disappointed, having limited resources for the time being and still ever-learning, this really fit the bill for my want of decently modifiable vocal/synth sounds.😊

[@maikkaune]

Hello, may I ask you what's your opinion about the base samples material? Either Strings or Vocals. I could not find a good audio or video about the actual sample quality. As mentioned in my other comment with timestamps, I am not really impressed. My first thoughts on the "authentic natural stuff" was: thin and synthetic. 🤔🤏🦾

[@stoneweather]

@@maikkaune did you try the actual demo? that may help you get a better idea

[@maikkaune]

@@stoneweather Oh boy, silly me. There is a demo? Funnily I did neither notice , nor expect that. BTW, I own AnalogLabV , Pigments, and a Keystep. Never looked for any demo… Thanks for the (obvious) headsup 🤝🫣🤫

[@maikkaune]

@@stoneweather Unfortunately the DEMO does not allow to edit or see the base samples. There are just some presets one can try out.

[@stoneweather]

@@maikkaune oh that's unfortunate, plus, no offense to Arturia, but their demos are only 20 minutes long on top of that.... between Strings and Voices i think Strings is the stronger vst, but they work very much the same (as does Aug. Grand Piano) and you can import your own samples if you're finding you're not liking the ones provided.

[@notaspectator]

For someone still very new to such software and sound design, your videos are super helpful and help with anxiety in knowing how things work. Built in tutorial should simply have your videos, thanks kindly. Love to contribute to Arturia in 2024

[@patrickfrossard1352]

i like when you are super excited...... it sounds nice but i much prefer for voices the new Native Choir Omnia

[@Romenet310]

I see a lot of complaints from a bunch of old school Arturia V Collection owners. I guess I get it but I am new to the collection and I am pretty much amazed at the the options in this set of instruments, including Augmented

[@itsChrisStyle]

What’s her @ tho??? 👀

[@chicago_beats]

Cool

[@DanielFerreira-hz4cc]

Works in tracks? Like vocals?

[@danikoenig]

Is Augmented the new "Output"?

[@l.romain6447]

I feel like output helped them with it. Has same personality.
