01Overview

Auralis is designed for ambient, cinematic and atmospheric production. Its sound starts from field recordings of natural environments, which are processed into 33 sound layers and combined with 25 custom wavetables. The developer describes the result as warm tonal beds and evolving textures with an organic character and subtle synthesis underneath. The instrument is built for the Raizes Player, which is included with the purchase and required to run it.

Sound Design and Character

Auralis is built around layers taken from natural recordings. The 33 sound layers capture environmental sources, and the 25 wavetables add tonal depth to them. ZAK Sound says the combination produces pads and textures with a raw, organic feel rather than a purely synthetic one.

The instrument's presets focus on three areas: textures, pads and tonal atmospheres. Because the sound sources are natural recordings, the character leans toward slow movement and ambience, suited to backgrounds and scoring.

Workflow and Use Cases

Auralis supports MPE, so expressive controllers can shape the sound while you play. The 80 presets give a starting point for ambient and cinematic work, and each can be adjusted from its layers and wavetables.

The plugin installs at only 54MB, which keeps the download light. It runs as a VST3 or AU plugin in a host, or as a Standalone application.
