Augmented PERSIA is a hybrid software instrument that blends deeply sampled Persian acoustic instruments with advanced digital synthesis engines. Developed by Arturia, the software is aimed at music creators seeking cinematic textures, organic soundscapes, and expressive melodic elements inspired by Middle Eastern musical heritage.

The instrument combines multisampled traditional instruments with synthesized layers, allowing users to create evolving pads, dynamic leads, atmospheric drones, and hybrid orchestral textures. Producers can manipulate sounds through modulation systems, effects processors, macros, filters, and motion controls to build complex and emotionally rich sonic environments.

Augmented PERSIA is suitable for a wide range of music production workflows, including film scoring, trailer composition, ambient music, electronic genres, game audio production, and sound design projects. The software integrates with major DAWs on Windows systems and supports modern plugin formats for flexible studio integration.

With an emphasis on expressive performance and cinematic depth, Augmented PERSIA provides musicians with a modern approach to combining cultural acoustic elements and contemporary sound synthesis techniques.
