THE SPEED, VIBES AND FLEXIBILITY OF A TRUE HARDWARE SYNTHESIZER
... WITH ALL THE BENEFITS OF SOFTWARE
A NOVATION LAUNCH CONTROL XL WITH DEDICATED MIDI SOFTWARE
AS THE ULTIMATE CONTROLLER FOR U-HE's SOFTWARE SYNTHESIZERS
AUREX CTRL – FINALLY MAKING THE CONNECTION
I like hardware synths. I love turning knobs, pushing buttons, and flicking faders when creating sounds. At the same time, I also love all the software synths that are available now, especially because of very convincing analog sounding softsynths such as U-He’s Diva, Tyrell and Repro 1/5.
However, I've always felt the connection between software plugins and hardware controllers was missing something. When controlling hardware synthesizers, you get a great user interface, with clear labelling and tactile control over every parameter. MIDI controllers however, often present you with an uninspiring interface with mismatching colours, incorrect text or inaccurate labels. More importantly, they often can't handle more advanced functions like modulation assignment, interactive LED feedback or multi-button control over one single function. I also easily forget which knob I MIDI-mapped to which function and so on ... I’ve never connected with them like I do with hardware - until I developed the aurex CTRL bundle.
aurex CTRL makes you forget you're using software. No screen or mouse needed.
This is exactly why I developed the aurex CTRL bundle. This bundle makes the Novation Launch Control XL function as the ultimate MIDI controller for U-He's software synthesizers. I built a custom MIDI template (using advanced programming with BOME MIDI Translator) that translates every Launch Control XL's MIDI message into all kinds of relevant MIDI data, oering much more possibilities than the original Launch Control XL's functions. In addition, I designed a Launch Control XL printable cover with all of these new features on it. This bundle comes with everything included (MIDI software, presets and printable cover) and gets you started right away.
STANDARD MIDI MAPPING ? NOT AT ALL!
My script fits in between the Novation controller and the U-He plugin, creating many more functions and possibilities than the original Launch Control XL's MIDI mappings. A simple example of what you can do with this: you can select LFO waveforms and speed settings with dedicated buttons. A more complex example is the Modulation Routing page, which allows you to assign 16 modulation sources to all kinds of destinations. Knobs and buttons can have multiple functions, depending on the menu you're in. The LEDs reflect all these dierent pages and assignments. As a result, my template gives you the opportunity to control over 200 Diva parameters and more than 100 Repro functions through a very intuitive hardware interface.
A completely new feeling to me. I also believe this is the reason why controllers such as Softube's Console 1 work so intuitively and smooth, making you forget it's only a controller.
When making music, I want to focus on the sound and that works best for me through the physical connection. This bundle has all the benefits of software (great sound, presets, DAW recall, automation, ...) and hardware (actual knobs and faders to touch, a dedicated graphical interface, speed of creating sounds, less mouse actions and screen time, ...) combined.

Thanks!
The first letters start UNDER the first row of knobs. That's why it fits. The layout you see above is the Taktility cover, which is a high quality cover made in collaboration with Taktility. I guess that's why you're confused.
