Usage

aorisage is meant to sit on a BGM track and take care of the "raise it, hold it, fade it" move before a show or during a transition.

Start with the default flow

1. Insert aorisage on the DAW track that plays BGM.
2. Set BGM Level to your normal pre-show level.
3. Set Boost Level to the level that lifts the room.
4. Set Fade Out Time to match the cue.
5. Press Start and confirm the whole move.

You do not need a perfect preset first. Match the level difference and the fade-out time, then refine the rest after you hear it in context.

Auto Hold

Auto Hold waits for the configured Hold Time after Boost, then starts Fade Out automatically.

Use it when the cue is predictable and the same timing works every time.

Manual Hold

Manual Hold keeps the Boost Level until you trigger the next step.

Use it when you want to watch the room, wait for performers, or follow a lighting or MC cue. A good starting point is to choose the Fade Out Time first, then decide the fade-out start manually.

Sustain-pedal workflow

A MIDI foot pedal can be useful when your hands are busy.

1. Set Hold Mode to Manual.
2. In the DAW, route a MIDI Note or CC to aorisage Main Trigger.
3. Press the pedal to start Boost / Hold.
4. Release the pedal, or send the next trigger, to start Fade Out.

Different DAWs treat MIDI remote input differently. Check whether your pedal sends an event only when pressed, holds a high CC value while pressed, or also sends a release event.

Intermission and return

Use separate Settings for different moments.

• Setting 1: pre-show, longer lift, slower fade out
• Setting 2: intermission return, shorter lift, quicker fade out
• Setting 3: post-show, focused on returning BGM smoothly

Name and color the Settings so they are easy to recognize in a dark room.

It is intentionally small

aorisage does not replace the mixer or the DAW. It repeats one fader-like move in a controlled way, so you have one less thing to watch during the cue.
