Product Description

• The Sound of Metal Combining a core of metallic sound sources and synthesis
• Evolve Alloy is a unique sample-based synthesizer that is designed to capture the sonic essence of metal.  <iframe frameborder="0" height="315" src="https: //www.youtube.com/embed/7cj5A-E9gHk" width="560"></iframe> Evolve Alloy combines over 250 sound sources ranging from bright glockenspiels and bells to industrial foley recordings and modern metallic-sounding synths. The result is a sharp
• expressive sound palette that ranges from tough and impactful to shimmering and ethereal. Forge your sound from four layers
• blend between them with the XY pad and shape the output using four metal inspired macro effects: Sharpen
• Rust
• Vibrate and Spring. Evolve Alloy offers dual filters
• endless modulation potential and 16 effects modules to fuel its 250 presets and sound design capabilities. Whether it’s the crystal-clear bell-like tones of ambient and minimalism
• the resonant metallic scrapes of industrial techno or the energetic plucks of modern hyperpop
• Evolve Alloy has been designed to make the deep sonics of these complex sounds accessible and intuitive. What can Evolve Alloy Do? Blend four layers of samples or synths using the powerful quad-engine. Morph sounds in real time with the expressive XY Pad. Get instant creative sparks with one-click randomisation. Import your own samples and build entirely custom patches. Modulate anything with drag-and-drop envelopes
• LFOs
• and XY controls. Shape and polish your sound with metal-inspired macro effects. Tweak your tone with dual filters and a rearrangeable 3-slot FX chain. Explore 250 genre-spanning presets or create from scratch. <iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="300" src="https: //w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/2058711687%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-A0sH3p2kyG5&color=%23a85155&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true" width="100%"></iframe> Excite Audio · Evolve Alloy Presets Four Dimensions of Sound The source of Evolve Alloy’s sounds is its quad-layer engine. Each of the four layers can house either a sample-based instrument from a selection of 250 sources
• or a synth oscillator. You can even import your own samples into Evolve Alloy to start a new sound or replace any source of an existing patch.  Sampled sources give you play direction
• tone and keytracking parameters to play with
• while synth sources get an oscillator shape slider and unison detuning. Control the Pitch and Fine tuning
• plus Velocity Sensitivity
• Panning and Volume for any sound. Click the dice of any layer to choose a metallic sample at random or roll the dice in the header to randomise the whole plugin
• including sound sources
• sound parameters and effects. Use the XY Pad in "Sounds Mode" to blend between the four sound sources or use it in "FX mode" to modulate any available parameter in the instrument. Metals that Morph Modulation has been built into the framework of Evolve Alloy from the start
• making sure there’s a comprehensive choice of sources with easy setup and reactive visual feedback. 12 modulation sources include six envelopes (ADSR with Delay and Hold)
• two LFO sources with retriggering and offset options
• Velocity and Keytracking with adjustable curves
• and the XY Pad’s X and Y position. A full modulation matrix awaits advanced sound designers
• showing all the assigned modulation routings as a manageable list. Parameters such as modulation curve and polarity allow even deeper customisation. Effects for Texture and Polish Four main macro effects have been crafted specifically to add texture and character to the output of Alloy: Sharpen reduces sustain and increases the sound’s transient
• Rust applies distortion and grit
• Vibrate adds short delays and feedback for a metallic tone
• Spring applies a characterful spring reverb effect. These can be routed to run either before or after the FX modules. Dual filters allow the each source (A
• D) to easily be routed as inputs
• and can be run in parallel or series by feeding one filter into the other. Both filters have a variety of filter curves
• Cutoff and Resonance controls
• filter Drive and Mix. You’ll also find three rearrangeable effects slots
• each of which hosts a choice of 16 high-quality effects
• each with its own set of parameters. Effects modules include:   Saturation Feedback Bitcrush Delay Reverb Compressor Transient Modulation Phaser Auto-Wah Speaker Width Noise EQ Pitch Drift Filter Features 4 Sound Sources (A
