AURA Plugins Reviews

Excellent software, makes loading and editing patches easy. As mentioned in my Pulse review, it'd be great to be able to have editors for multiple hardware synths in the same Cubase project (even if only one is connected at one time - then I can disconnect the MIDI in/out from one editor, and connect it on the other, and edit/ control my other synth). I generally record my hardware synths to audio immediately, then disable the plugin, but at least this way the project would remember the patches/ automation for a synth if I want to change something and re-record the part.

I'm happy with all the other plugins I've purchased and installed. The JP80x0 plugin won't show up in Cubase (demo version didn't, neither the 32 bit or 64 bit version appears). I installed it in exactly the same manner, chose the exact same VST plugin folder, the plugin doesn't show up (I can see it in my VST plugin folder, but it doesn't show up in Cubase 8).

Excellent software, makes loading and editing sounds, as well as automating parameters, much easier. It'd be great to be able to use a few of the modules in the same project (e.g. Pulse, Virus C, MicroQ) - should this work? I couldn't get a second one to open up.

It's a plugin with a lot of potential, but unfortunately also a major show-stopper bug. Namely, it causes Ableton Live to freeze & crash when loading any Live Set with this plugin in it. So basically, you can't save this plugin in any Live Set, or else you can't load it again. I have reached out to support about this bug but so far have gotten no response.

Good and working plugin! There are some visual issues but nothing really dramatic.

Great! All the features are calibrated and work well. It works in Logic Pro on M1 Mac Mini in Rosetta translation (as an AU). The patch settings save in my projects without any issue .. wonderful solution and I definitely recommend it.

No customer support via email...questionable viability,

I was able to get the plugin to control my hardware synth with automation, which was amazing, but the plugin crashes Ableton 11 after a few minutes of use, and Mystery Islands hasn't responded to my emails for troubleshooting. So yeah I definitely do NOT recommend, do I even need to say that I would like a refund?

Nice editor and friendly setup, but hard to manage and work with multitimbral mode and lack of owners manuel.

Sometimes glitchy when moving dials it's not perfect.
