Krotos Audio Igniter

Igniter is the new industry standard for creating any real-world or sci-fi vehicle and engine sound effects with ease. Whether you work in audio post or game audio, Igniter enables you to design, perform and automate any complex vehicle behaviour directly in your DAW – from sports cars, motorbikes, planes, helicopters, spacecraft and other engine sounds to moving ambiences, textures, Foley or whatever sparks your imagination.  

Igniter is the only solution of its kind to come jam-packed with over 20 performable vehicles and 614 audio assets from vehicles including Aston Martin, Ferrari, Porsche, Tesla, Harley Davidson, Huey UH-1H, Agusta Westland 119x, CH-47D Chinook, Bombardier Challenger, Cessna 560XL, skids, sweeteners and much more. Recordings come from Watson Wu, The Recordist, Sounding Sweet, George Vlad, Echo Peak and Flysound.

Start Your Engines.
Select from over 20 high-quality performable vehicles including sports cars, motorbikes, planes, helicopters, space craft and other engine sounds; then process them as part of a powerful, hybrid work flow using Granular, Synth, One Shot or Loop modules.

Live Life In The Automation Fast Lane.
Design detailed, non-linear behaviour, assign multiple hybrid LFO/macros with complex envelopes and use our powerful drag-and-drop modulator system for dynamic, real-time performance of any of Igniter’s 600+ parameters. Create complex one-shot systems using our unique triggering system (also ideal for impacts, mechanical devices, robotics, sweeteners and more), Automatic or Manual gearbox configurations with steady RPMs and MIDI for testing timings, performing, automating or editing different engine, moving or evolving material.

Break Your Sound Design Speed Limit.
Get creative with Igniter’s dedicated FX bus for parallel processing, 10 in-built FX per module and easily perform or automate movement using up to 5 discrete layers of pan, doppler and reverb (with a collection of Impulse Responses) all from one master controller. Route the output of each module back to your DAW for mixing and rendering layers or export whole files into your game engine or audio middleware solution.
