aorisage

Free audio plug-in for live BGM cues

Lift the room, then fade the BGM out.

aorisage is a free audio plug-in for live operators who want one small part of the show start to run reliably. Insert it on the BGM track, then trigger Boost, Hold, Fade Out, and Return from the main button, a shortcut key, MIDI, or DAW automation.

Free Gain only MIDI / Automation

One less fader move during the show

Raising the pre-show BGM, holding the room for a moment, and fading out on cue is not hard. It is just one more thing to do at exactly the moment a one-person PA setup is already busy.

aorisage handles that move. It sits on the BGM track and changes gain only, so your track fader and mixer routing can stay where they are.

What it does

Boost

Move from the normal BGM Level to a louder Boost Level over the time and curve you choose.

Hold

Keep the boosted level. Use Auto to continue after a fixed Hold Time, or Manual to hold until you trigger the next step.

Fade Out

Fade to the End Level on cue. End Level can be Mute or a specific dB value.

Return

Bring the BGM back after the show, during an intermission, or whenever you need it again.

Tuned for live operators

Boost time, boost amount, fade-out time, return time, and curve choices are all adjustable. Settings can be named and color-coded so different show moments can have different behavior.

aorisage changes level only. It does not EQ, compress, widen, or otherwise reshape the tone of the BGM.

Trigger options

A sustain-pedal style workflow is possible when your DAW or MIDI routing can send the needed trigger behavior: hold the pedal to keep the room lifted, then release or send the next trigger to begin the fade out.
