Groove3 UVI Augmented Orchestra Explained TUTORIAL

Join virtual instrument guru Eli Krantzberg for a detailed walkthrough of UVI’s hybrid instrument, Augmented Orchestra. In this detailed Augmented Orchestra video course, Eli will explain how to use this unique VI to its fullest potential, familiarizing you with its architecture, myriad parameters and effects, and the many tricks it has its sleeve for generating truly distinctive sounds and textures that will help your songs, film/TV scores, or video game scores stand out from the masses. These videos are for new Augmented Orchestra users.

Eli begins by providing a quick overview of what the plugin does and how it does it so you’ll be better prepared to understand the specific features covered throughout the course, such as the layers, effects, modulation, arpeggiator, and more. Then he gets into the various elements, beginning with the Harmonizer, which can force notes to conform to specific scales/keys, generate smart harmony notes, and even create random voicings that omit user-specified notes. Then you’ll learn the basic structure of the layer controls as Eli customizes a factory preset by using the Harmonizer, layer control keyboard ranges, as well as the crossfader, pan, and volume controls.

Next up, explore how to alter the timbre and dynamics by way of per-layer MIDI input, the Amplitude Envelope, and the smoothing filter controls. Discover also the colorful sonic possibilities available with the Xpander, VCF-20, and delay/notch-based comb filters, all of which provide effective sound-sculpting tools. The pitch and voicing modes are covered next, which relate to how the instrument handles monophonic and polyphonic pitch transitions for overlapping or non-overlapping notes.

Over the rest of the course, you’ll learn about the other features, including the layer effects (independently assignable for Part A and Part B), LFOs A and B (for creating movement in various parameters like gain, pan, etc.), Step Modulators (pattern-based generators for modulating various parameters), secondary modulation (modulating other modulators), Arpeggiator and Phraser (advanced part generation functions), aux/global effects, and more!

If you’re looking for new musical avenues, Augmented Orchestra can certainly provide a path. With this tutorial, you’ll be up and running with the instrument quickly, getting on to what really matters: creating music that sounds exciting and inspired!
