01Overview

Aurora is a preset pack built around Portatron's tape simulation. Robotic Bean describes it as a set of warm ambient analog tape loops, with a range of BPMs and keys and loop types that include drones, sequences and atmospheres. The pack includes 500+ MB of samples, and its loops run from 30 seconds to over 60 seconds, giving producers long, evolving material to work with in ambient and cinematic projects.

03In depth

Sound and character of the Aurora loops

Robotic Bean says the loops were recorded through a range of pedals and outboard gear, aiming for a warm, lo-fi tone with depth. Because the material is built for Portatron, the tape processing in the plugin is part of the intended sound.

The loops are long and evolving rather than short one-bar patterns. Their length suits music beds and slowly changing textures that need movement over time.

Cassettes, samples and loop types

Aurora includes 13 cassettes, each with matching samples, plus 52 loop samples in total. The developer lists a variety of loop types, including drones, sequences and atmospheres, so you can pick the kind of material that fits a section of a track.

The library is spread across a wide range of BPMs and keys, which helps when you need loops that match an existing project tempo or tonal center.
