They weren’t out to create the next symphonic string library, or orchestral grand piano patch…they catered to the path less traveled…the weird, creepy, evolving, powerful, emotional….Īnyway…enough about EVOLVE…I’ll do a full review on that at a later date, today we are talking about their joint release with Native Instruments, EVOLVE Mutations…the bundle.ĮVOLVE Mutations 1 and 2 are both kontakt player instruments that bring the creative and experimental sounds that Heavyocity are known for, into the studios and bedrooms of musicians of all kinds.

EVOLVE’s concept was to put together creative, fresh, and non-traditional sounds into a format that was easily accessed and experimented with. It set the standard for instruments dedicated to the creative field of soundtrack, film, and media composition. Thus EVOLVE was born…when EVOLVE was released, it was an instant hit, never had such depth, realism, and creativity been packaged into one instrument. Let’s just say, a groups of accomplished sound designer, soundtrack composers, and media for media magicians got together and decided to create a virtual instrument library dedicated to their styles of music. Now if you’re not into the weird, esoteric sounds of film, media, and soundtrack composition you may not know who Heavyocity is.

New to the instrument is the “Trigger FX” feature, which maps keys within a certain octave on the keyboard to activate specific sound treatments including saturation, panning, delay effects and more.

The samples are organized into four categories: Rhythmic Suites (providing percussive and tonal loops), Percussive Kits, Stings & Transitions, and Tonality & FX. The instrument, which runs on Native Instrument’s Kontakt Player, features over 300 new sounds based on 2 GB of samples, and is intended for use by film, TV, and game composers. Native Instruments and Heavyocity have released Evolve Mutations 2, the latest in the virtual instrument series to come from the collaboration between the two software instrument companies, based in Berlin and NYC, respectively.
