VST plugins 31 FX 23 instruments AU + VST3 + Standalone Universal

AUR VST Platform

AUR is a large Aurveda Audio lineup: 31 effects and 23 instruments, built around one DSP engine and one UI system. The project is about sound, system, and packaging all at once: warm character without digital grime, a unified visual language, a shared build architecture, and a full library of modules for AU, VST3, and Standalone.

01 / scale

Not a single plugin, but a whole product system with shared logic for sound, interface, and build

54 screens and standalone modules already assembled in the project's local library.

31 + 23 effects and instruments split by role, yet feel like one single lineup.

3 build formats for every module: AU, VST3, and Standalone.

≈21 dB difference in alias energy between a plain `tanh` and ADAA1, shown in the README proof.

02 / concept

Warm sound here isn't opposed to engineering precision — it's built as a two-layer system

Sound thesis

Clean core + analog layer

AUR's core idea is stated very precisely: first a clean ZDF/TPT core with correct phase, metering, and true-peak, then a dosable layer of character on top, with ADAA saturation, tube, tape, and “iron.”

AurvedaDSP

One sound engine

The repository has a shared `AurvedaDSP` layer that's reused across modules. Thanks to this, the whole lineup keeps one sound language, and new products don't look like a randomly assembled set of plugins with different math.

Proof

Warmth without digital junk

`Trivial tanh`: −22.5 dB alias energy
`ADAA1`: −43.4 dB alias energy
about 21 dB less aliasing with no added latency

03 / flagships

The flagship modules that instantly convey the scale and character of the whole system

maksutovdesign.ru/aur/ Open site ↗

AUR HYPER — flagship hybrid synthesizer — 01 — HYPER The flagship hybrid: wavetable unison, FM 2→1, a multimode SVF, two envelopes, and LFO modulation.

AUR ASSIST — mastering assistant — 02 — ASSIST The mastering assistant shows that the lineup thinks not only about sound, but also about a fast path to a finished result.

AUR CLARITY — resonance suppression — 03 — CLARITY The most technology-driven module: perceptual resonance suppression with Bark analysis and careful reconstruction.

AUR EMBER — ADAA saturator — 04 — EMBER The module where the whole lineup's sound philosophy is easiest to read: Tube, Tape, Iron, and controlled harmonics.

04 / architecture

The lineup is split by role, but visually and logically holds together as one catalog

Synthesizers and texture generators

From flagships and wavetable synths to drones, organ, and physical modeling. This isn't one niche — it's almost a complete set of directions for sound design and production.

HYPERAURORANOVAMORPHWAVEVECTORGRAINPADDRONE

Classic instruments and musical fundamentals

Compact subtractive synths, supersaw, sub, organ, string ensemble, and chip scenes cover the basic musical tasks without losing the overall AUR style.

MINISUPERSUBORGANSTRINGCHIPPLUCKBELLRES

Drum machines and the rhythmic layer

From a step drum sequencer to 808/909 logic and FM percussion. It's clear the lineup was built not as a showcase of effects, but as a broader musical toolkit.

BEATPULSEKIT9KIT8FMPERC

Dynamics, mastering, space, and metering

This is where the full engineering side lives: compression, limiting, transient shaping, EQ, convolution, imaging, restoration, and metering. In essence, AUR covers an entire production loop.

05 / proof

What matters here isn't just the look, but how the project explains its engineering correctness

sound

ADAA — the key proof of “warm but correct” sound

aliasing

The README directly compares a plain `tanh` and ADAA1 on a loud 7 kHz sine, where energy below the fundamental reads as pure aliasing.

`Trivial tanh`: −22.5 dB alias energy.
`ADAA1`: −43.4 dB alias energy.
Result: about 21 dB less digital grime with no added latency.

CLARITY shows the project can address problem material with real precision

resonance

In the local description, CLARITY is presented as a perceptual resonance suppressor: FFT analysis, a Bark grid, and suppression only of the bands that genuinely stick out above the local spectral trend.

2 kHz: −14.3 dB.
500 Hz: −0.5 dB.
6 kHz: −0.5 dB.

build

Every module builds into three formats and passes Apple validation

distribution

The project follows a strict engineering discipline: effects build as AU + VST3 + Standalone, instruments as AU MusicDevice + VST3 + Standalone, and the whole lineup targets both Apple Silicon and Intel.

Universal `x86_64 + arm64`.
Apple `auval` as a mandatory check.
One installer for the whole suite, plus separate archives for each module.

design

MOLTEN — the shared visual language that ties dozens of modules into one brand

The project spells out its visual language explicitly: a molten-copper accent on a warm near-black background, with teal reserved only for precise readout elements like LUFS and true-peak.

One `AurvedaUI` system for the entire lineup.
A shared theme, rhythm, metrics, and interface behavior.
Even with different functionality, the modules read as one single brand.

06 / synthesizers

Flagship and textural instruments: from hybrid synthesis to granular and vector morphing

AUR AURORA — AURORAA virtual-analog polysynth with two oscillators, a sub, and a ladder ZDF filter.

AUR NOVA — NOVAA 4-operator FM synth for electric pianos, bells, and more metallic timbres.

AUR MORPH — MORPHA single macro morpher that smoothly moves sound through VA, FM, wavetable, and additive logic.

AUR WAVE — WAVEA morphing wavetable engine with band-limited tables, so purity isn't lost at any note pitch.

AUR VECTOR — VECTORVector synthesis with an XY joystick and auto-orbit, built as a modern take on an old classic.

AUR PAD — PADAn additive evolving pad built on a system of 16 harmonic pairs and shimmer detune.

AUR DRONE — DRONEAn ambient drone with slow filter breathing and incommensurate LFOs, so the movement never repeats.

14 / who it's for

The product isn't built for one narrow role, but for a whole range of people who build sound and music instruments around it

AUR looks like a project for producers, sound designers, mix engineers, mastering engineers, electronic instrument makers, modular-logic enthusiasts, and anyone who values a systemic approach to DSP over a pretty facade alone.
