Arturia Augmented Grand Piano & Minilab MK3. Presets Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

"Arturia have just released Grand Piano [announcement post here], a part of Augmented series, and an updated version of Minilab MK3.
💽 The plugin offers absolutely amazing and beautiful presets, and a collection of diverse samples, acoustic and electronic, that can be combined and layered. The results are fantastic.

🎹 Minilab MK3 has significant updates. And the greatest one is the automatic mapping of the controllers for DAW or Arturia native plugins. The workflow is flawless, MK3 does the mapping job fluently. No more manual MIDI-learn!

"Arturia dubs the Synclavier V (its softsynth emulation of the New England Digital Synclavier) a digital dream synthesizer. Here I play some sounds that stood out to me from the patch banks of this VST synth that is part of the current Arturia V Collection.
