The industry-standard vehicle sound design system

Igniter is a one-stop solution for designing, performing and automating vehicles directly in your DAW. From everyday vehicles, sports cars, motorbikes, planes, helicopters, spacecraft, drones or anything you can imagine.

Ready-to-go vehicles at your fingertips

Select from over 20 high-quality performable vehicles including Ford F150, Harley Davidson, Audi R8 and more.

Explore the power of a hybrid workflow

Process vehicle sound effects as part of a powerful, hybrid workflow using Granular, Synth, One Shot or Loop modules.

Design vehicle sounds in seconds

Igniter will save hours of editing and will allow you to perform your vehicle sound effects via MIDI or change the length or type of sound in a complex vehicle scene in seconds.

Use cases in sound design

Igniter turns complex vehicle sound design into a fast, performance-based workflow. Build and automate realistic movement in real time, add instant Doppler for pass-bys, and layer detailed foley like doors, wipers, and interiors from the One Shot samplers. With ready-to-go presets and a deep asset browser—including electric vehicles—you can sketch, tweak, and save fully formed vehicle behaviours in seconds.

Switch perspectives between engine and exhaust, move seamlessly from interior to exterior using convolution reverb (or your own impulse responses), and sequence changing surfaces, wind speeds, or rev patterns along a timeline. From grounded cars and roaring engines to drones, helicopters, and sci-fi spacecraft via the Synth tab, Igniter handles everything from realism to the far future—no time travel required.
