Heavyocity Evolve

※ Download: Heavyocity evolve mutations 2 torrent

Because you're likely to want to shift the pitch of the Looped Tonals loops to match your composition, Heavyocity have spread out only a handful of the tonal loops across the keyboard in each patch, so that each one has at least an octave of pitch control. Mutations 2 is another must have for any composer's arsenal.

Other items that caught my ear include a high-pitched, zingy Hex cymbal whatever that is , dramatic, tension-building crescendo snare rolls, some nice industrial bell-like sounds, slithery, screechy bowed cymbals, and a tidy selection of expressive cymbal performances which include crescendo mallet rolls. The 16-step sequencer for arpeggiated sounds in the Rhythmic Suites family has independent controller setups for note velocity, pan and filter cutoff. With Mutations 2 Heavyocity have 'upped the game'… again.

Heavyocity Damage - Also on offer here are the kinds of pulsating distorted backdrops that so often seem to accompany acrobatic images of immaculate dreadlocked physiques when Japanese companies are advertising small mass-produced cars or electronic gadgets.

Evolve is a collection of loops, pads and hits ideal for productions where impact is vital. It's available as a download from the Native Instruments torrent and is packed with what Heavyocity describes as 'walls of cinematic percussion, punchy beats, and next-gen tonal elements'. There are nearly 4,000 percussive and evolving samples; many of the loops are presented in 'slices' enabling you to play the heavyocity in any order. The interface is clean, simple and gives you the controls to tweak the master effect, filter and envelope settings. Sadly, like Heavyocity's Damage collection, you don't have full access to edit the instrument directly; large scale changes to patches are not available. The Seq and Arp instruments deserve special mention, because they include a simple integrated step-sequencer to manipulate the velocity, pan and filter settings. This gives you instant burbling filter swept patterns, and sounds amazing when playing chords. We'd have liked to see the ability to 'slew' between filter settings, mutation the player a smoother and more natural transition as you scroll through the steps. Maybe in version three… First impressions are that these sounds will be ideal for dramatic moments in movie scores, but that's not the whole story. Techno sounds are well represented too: 'Raspy Peddler' could form the basis of many a tech-house treat and 'Robotic Malfunction' sounds like a deranged android playing the hi-hats. This is not the mutation to come for an all-round collection of standard pad, bass or drum sounds, though. Singular sounds Evolve covers many bases and excels at them torrent, giving you exciting extra colours to add to an otherwise lacklustre arrangement. The percussive loops are a real treat, and Heavyocity's attention to sonic detail is evident on every instrument. Evolve now integrates seamlessly with Native Instruments' Maschine too; access to the hundreds of percussion sounds and heavyocity is quick and easy through the Maschine interface. The only downside is that every sound is so vibrant and distinctive you might evolve an Evolve sound in a mix a mile away. Many producers can live with that - it simply bears testament to this collection's exceptional quality.

Many producers can live with that - it simply bears testament to this collection's exceptional quality. Though that adds to the descriptive burden for your humble reviewer, it gives the kits a mystique which would be lacking in a more traditional percussion collection. Great care has been taken to ensure accuracy in the preparation of this article but neither Sound On Sound Limited nor the publishers can be held responsible for its contents. Each category has a 'Full' patch and three 'Elements' folders; the Full loops which number 195 in all are made up of between three and five layered elements, each of which is a full-blown loop in its own right. It's not all crash, bang and wallop: the Damage Hit Tails patch provides a fine set of evolving atmospheric textures, created in part by removing the initial attack transient from big percussive hits.
