Auras - Now £99

Simon spoke at PRS last night for a PCAM event on future music tech. The talk was livestreamed by PCAM so if you want to check it out you can do below!

 
This sounds wonderful. Can you say roughly how many curated patches there are?

Thanks

There are currently 60 AURAS/curated patches and around 100+ COLOURS layers.

The idea is to add another 10-20 auras and how ever many colours created out of that will be added to that section.

We also plan to make some multis out of the colours as they are a different process to creating the auras, the auras are 'hand-made' so to speak with custom scripting and programming per patch. The colours can be shaped within the mod matrix environment so you would be able take any of the multi patches we design and tweak things yourself easier.

Hopefully we'll be able to get multiple wavs into the colours environment under one GUI in the future, rather than have to have an instrument per sound. But we need to figure that out with the MPE scripting limitations in Kontakt and we need to focus on getting v1 out first :)
 
Looking forward to get to play with it. Will definitely purchase. When I watched the demos one thought I had was that you guys could probably make a killer authentic Swarmatron patch too! If that is something that interests you, of course.

Thanks

There's kind of one in there already :)
 
We're getting a lot of questions about how the library works with non-MPE instruments, we will be providing more informational text/videos on this. In the meantime here's a vid of the library being used with non MPE instruments.

 
Sold, sound too sweet to pass! Will you give us a quick walkthrough of some presets with the camera on Kontakt soon? I would like to see the GUI. Thanks

yeah, thats the next video we're planning on doing. Will be a bit of explanation on how it can work with different controllers devices etc with a screen capture happening so you can see how it works with the GUI

Here's some screenshots of the GUI if you want to just see how it looks. THere's more explanation on the product page as well. www.slateandash.com/auras

Here's a bit of a better look at the colours GUI in action...


Are those other libraries, in your browser, in development or just personal? How do you get the header in the library pane with non-player libraries, is that a development feature? Anyway, sounds great, can't wait!

Sorry to be a bit slow on here, we're really busy trying to finish up the library for Wednesday.

Those other libraries are some of the limited edition and bespoke ones we've created. The orange one on the top is One Strange Rock, Annihilation is the white one on the bottom. The two in the middle are our limited editions REVERIE and RESONANCE.

Ah, got ya, thanks.
 
Today's the day!
Hi Jason,

We just sent out this email as we're slightly delayed. Almost there, just wish Kontakt was MPE compatible, would make things a LOT easier.


AURAS RELEASE UPDATE

Firstly, thanks everyone for purchasing AURAS, the response has been amazing and we really appreciate everyone's support in creating this library.

Unfortunately it looks like we're going to have to delay the release by 24-48 hours. No major hiccups or anything, but due to the custom scripting per patch and multiple versions of the instrument inside each preset to account for MPE use, any minor tweaks or adjustments made to the interface/overall architecture result in a laborious process of updating each individual patch individually.

There are no more changes to be made to library so its just the process of going through and implementing the final patches, which unfortunately takes a bit of time.

The download will be available no later than Friday but hopefully before. We will let you all know as soon as it is up and ready to go.

We know its really annoying when this happens so we appreciate your patience.

Thanks
Si, Will + James

No problem! Appreciate the transparency. Would rather you guys have the extra time to deliver a good working product. That being said...can't wait to load this up on my Roli Seaboard!
 
Have you had any contact with kontakt? (!) Or NI, rather - in terms of the next version and MPE compatibility? And if Kontakt embraces MPE would that mean updates/future versions would be easier or would you have to redo a lot of stuff to get it working?

Preordering now :)
