Designed and built with the DNA of their dependable MIDI Keyboards and Control Surfaces at heart, Nektar Aura invokes the feel of classic pad-style drum machines with seamless software integration.
Next-Gen Beat Composer
Featuring 16 hyper-sensitive RGB illuminated pads, an on-board step sequencer, a flexible pad repeat engine and incredible plugin control, Nektar Aura offers exciting drum-machine-style workflow to any DAW or external MIDI setup.
Key Features:
USB MIDI Pad Controller with 16-RGB Pressure/Velocity Sensitive Pads
64-Step Sequencer with Dedicated Programming Interface
TFT Colour Display
8 x Endless Rotary Pots, 16 x RGB LED buttons
Pad Repeat Engine - Repeat Rate, Gate, Accent Interval, Accent Velocity Offset, Swing, Trigger Mode and Clock Source.
DAW Integration - Transport control, Track Selection, Project Navigation
USB and MIDI I/O - Universal MIDI Programmability
Nektarine 2.0 Software Included - VST, AU, AAX or Stand-Alone Operation
Compatible with Major DAWs like Ableton Live Suite, Cubase, Garageband, Logic, Reason, Studio One and more
Slick Hardware, Packed with Features
As we've grown accustomed to with dependable drum machines over the past few decades, Aura is packed with all the tricks you'll need to create natural grooves and entire beats quickly. Features like Pad Repeat, velocity changes, Swing and Trigger Modes enable fast and fluid beat creation. Endless rotary encodes, backlit RGB pads and assignable buttons facilitate complete control over your musical projects.
Universal MIDI Control
AURA can also be used in stand-alone mode with external MIDI devices. Custom Nektar DAW integration adds extended transport control, track selection, project navigation and more.
AURA's 'Plugin' mode provides instant control of hosted instrument plugin parameters. When programming drum sounds, quick access to key parameters such as pitch, decay or level is essential. Nektarine makes short work of this by auto-selecting the relevant parameters for control with AURA's 8 rotary pots based on the last triggered pad. Nektar plugin maps ensure that even plugins with thousands of parameters can be controlled seamlessly.
7 transport buttons are otherwise fully MIDI assignable, including MMC commands, and can be used to set up transport control for any software not supported by Nektar DAW integration.
Nektarine 2.0 Software Included
Paired with the included Nektarine 2.0 software, AURA becomes a plugin control powerhouse for VST, VST3 and AU plugins. Whether working a single multi-sound drum plugin or hosting a comprehensive kit using multiple plugins, setting AURA's pads up is fast and intuitive, with real-time auditioning.
Nektarine can host up to 16 different instrument-plugins simultaneously, so that each of AURA's pads can play its own plugin. Any pad can be re-routed to a new plugin by creating a plugin slot and loading a patch or plugin directly from AURA's browser. Pad assignments are saved as part of a DAW project/song or a Nektarine Multi-Patch for instant recall.
Nektar DAW Integration software is included for Ableton Live Suite, Bitwig, Cubase, Digital Performer, Garageband, Logic, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason, Studio One and Sonar/Cakewalk.
