A Unique Sound-Design Tool for Drones, Pads, and Soundscapes
The Aura: Atmospheric Drone Builder from Vir2 is an original and inspiring tool for quickly generating haunting drones and breathtaking atmospheres. Using a sample-based approach, Aura derives its distinctive sonic signature from its four blendable sound modules, which let you layer any of Aura’s 400-plus included pads, drones, and atmospheres — or even your own samples — and manipulate them with Aura’s vast offering of effects. Aura is made for artists across every level, with over 100 presets that promise instant gratification, as well as a deep set of controls for detail-obsessed sound designers. Composers and producers at Sweetwater have praised Aura for adding ear candy to songs, creating music cues for film and television, and adding ambience to narrative podcasts.

Create rich ambience and textured drones
Aura enables you to build massive drones and atmospheric effects by blending four separate sound modules. A central XY pad allows dynamic morphing between the four modules in real time and recording repeatable expressions that can be synced to a tempo map. Load the modules with any of Aura’s 415 professionally designed drones, pads, and atmospheres, or tap into your personal sample library to build unique textures and effects.


A full palette of sonic manipulators
Once you’ve selected the perfect combination of sounds for your four modules, it’s time to start blurring, blending, and manipulating them into vivid ambient tapestries with Aura’s formidable effects engine. Featuring 23 creative signal processors, four modulatable effect slots per module, and a step sequencer, Aura gives you the power to craft infinitely diverse sounds, from crunchy and chaotic to soaring and sublime.
