Portal is a loop-based Kontakt instrument from Iamlamprey containing rhythmic, tempo-synced synth loops called Auras that add space and movement to a track.
Portal is a loop-based library built around rhythmic, tempo-synced synth loops that the developer calls Auras. The loops are melodic samples meant to add movement and space to an arrangement, and they work well when a section feels static or dry. The library contains 16 major and 16 minor chord loops. Each key also has a muted, low-velocity variant that plays single notes instead of full chords. Portal runs in Kontakt and requires the full version of the software.
Portal includes 32 minor Auras and 32 major Auras. Half of each group is open, playing full chords, and half is muted, playing single notes instead. The muted variants give you a more sparse rhythmic layer under the same harmonic idea.
A transposition script lets you re-pitch any chord on the fly, so you can reach other major and minor harmonies without loading new loops. All loops stay tempo-synced to your host, so their rhythm locks to your project tempo.
Playback controls let you halve or double the playback rate of each loop, which changes the rhythmic feel while keeping the loop locked to tempo. The developer describes the samples as professionally produced and processed.
Portal includes built-in Filter, Width, Delay, Reverb, Trash, Crush and Phase effects. The interface is fully automatable, so you can draw in movement on these controls inside your host.
