AURA and VEILS
Aura and Veils are two powerful layers designed to elevate the instruments in The Zen Garden, adding depth, texture, and a unique sonic character to each sound.
Aura is a specially crafted layer that applies sound-designed processing to the main instrument, created using a combination of effects, guitar pedals, and advanced techniques. Completely optional yet highly expressive, Aura enhances the instrument with a richer and more nuanced tone, adding an extra dimension to its natural sound.
Veils are swappable instrument layers designed to introduce depth and atmosphere. Sourced from our AURORA and Venice Modern Strings libraries, Veils provide an entirely new quality to the instrument’s tone, expanding its sonic potential and offering a more immersive experience.
