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 Velvet 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 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. Movement Modulation has been built into the framework of Evolve Velvet 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 Character Four main macro effects have been crafted specifically to shape the output of Velvet: Soften reduces the sound’s transient and harsh frequencies
• Warmth applies subtle saturation and gentle harmonics
• Sway adds Wow and Flutter pitch modulation
• Hazy applies a characterful lo-fi hall reverb. These can be routed to run either before or after the FX modules. Dual filters allow 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
