- Can I apply a lighting profile on partial devices?
Even if your PC or laptop is not connected to all listed devices of the lighting profile, you can still apply the lighting profile partially with your connected devices.
- Can I apply a lighting profile on different devices?
Aura Creator supports rich layers editing. If you have a lighting profile at hand with various layers created already but without all matched devices, or with same device type but different model (for example, Keyboard A in lighting profile, but connected with Keyboard B), you can still import the lighting profile and re-select the lighting area and mapping with existing layers.
- Quick-apply the lighting profiles from Armoury Crate > Aura Sync
The saved Aura Creator lighting profiles will be automatically listed in Armoury Crate > Aura Sync and will be listed as the advanced Aura Sync lighting effects. When you apply the advanced effects, the profile will be applied to the selected sync devices which also belongs to the lighting profile.
Aura Creator’s new effect “Sync with Music” allows you to easily reflect the audio output on the LEDs of selected Aura Sync compatible devices.

3. Adjust the properties in the panel on the right-hand side to match your preference.
4. Click “Play” or “Save & Apply” to display the effect.
- Why does the Music effect not work when there’s music playing?
Please check if the playback device was selected to the layer with the “Music” effect. Remember to re-select a playback device and apply the profile again if you unplug the selected device.
- The effect does not change with the adjustment of the system volume
Depending on the playback device, the software’s ability to get the change of system volume may be different. We recommend you to change the audio volume by the media player to reflect the lighting effect. Also, you can adjust the sensitivity to increase or decrease the effect.
Aura Creator’s new effect “Sync with Adaptive Color” allows you to reflect the screen color on the LEDs of selected Aura Sync compatible devices.
