Is it a synth or an orchestra? It’s an Augmented Orchestra!
It’s almost like UVI knew that we’re a bit bored with orchestral libraries and dull plugin synths because they’ve taken the best of each and mashed them together for Augmented Orchestra. The instrument features a powerful engine that “melds a world-class orchestra with processed and synthetic sounds to deliver imaginative timbres and breathtaking soundscapes”. Don’t think (as we did) that it’s just a synth mixed with an orchestra as it uses a complex layer system to create these textures and instruments. Sounds intriguing, although at $299 it’s pricey.
