Expertly crafted algorithms

Five reverb types

  • Space. Expansive and ambient soundscapes.
  • Room. Natural and intimate room reflections.
  • Echoes. Rhythmic delay elements with a reverb tail.
  • Soft. Smooth and subtle reverb effects – great for pads. 
  • Reverse. One-of-a-kind backward reverb effects.

Sculpt your reverbs across time and space

bx_aura is packed with intuitive controls for adding movement and depth to your reverbs and ensuring they fit perfectly into your mix, including ducking & gating, sidechain, multiple filter options, tempo sync, freeze, and more.
