#HEAVYOCITY EVOLVE FREE SERIES#
Having set out their stall with the Evolve cinematic percussion library in 2008, this adventurous outfit branched out into darker territory with the Evolve Mutations series before hitting new heights of sonic brutality with Damage, a library of ultra–aggressive, distorted, unpitched percussion. To understand Gravity’s heritage, it helps to know a little about Heavyocity’s product history.
As with Heavyocity’s previous collections, the accent is on powerful, unpitched sound–design elements, augmented by a large and highly varied menu of pads and drones. Heavyocity soar into orbit with a collection of dramatic scoring elements.Ĭontinuing their incursions into the weird and wonderful world of mangled sound, Heavyocity’s latest library is a collection of dramatic hits, pads, risers and stings designed with the modern media composer in mind. The high red keys activate Trigger FX, while the green keys trigger Motion sequencer playback. The low octave of pink keys trigger custom layered sounds based on currently loaded elements.
#HEAVYOCITY EVOLVE FREE PATCH#
The depicted patch shows samples mapped chromatically to blue and cyan keys (C1–B1 Subs, C2–B2 Impacts, C3–B3 Tails, C4–B4 Whooshes). If you do any type of urban/electronic music….again…this fits in there as well.Gravity’s main page groups together effects, ADSR, unison and velocity settings, with pride of place going to the circular Punish dial. If you’re into movies/games…this is a no brainer. My favorite part of the library by far are the percussive kits, I love how you can move them around the stage, and change the EQ/Filter for each drum in a kit.Ĭome on man…do I really need to keep talking about this? Isn’t it pretty clear, just listen to the demos, watch the video and then go get it, simple. Not only do you get the HUGE and HARD hits, but you also get some very pristine “general” percussion and drums. I’ve got a few epic/cinematic percussion libraries, and most are really good, but this one raises the bar tremendously. Or maybe…it’s just that freaking dope! Yeah…that’s it…it’s just that freaking dope!! Maybe I’m biased because I love hard, epic percussion sounds….or maybe I’m biased because I love the stuff that Heavyocity does. I give this library 5 out of 5 subs, no question… If you make any type of music that needs hard hitting, well recorded percussion…get thisĪs you can tell by the video, I REALLY enjoy this library….so much that I got a little carried away just playing with it. I just can’t get over the quality of the recordings, even the distorted stuff has a super high quality about it…great Sure it doesn’t have every type of percussion here, but it covers a pretty wide range to the point that….this will be a standard for percussive libraries for sure. That makes this a VERY flexible library in my opinion. However…there are also some really well recorded percussion sounds, that are not distorted at all (unless you want to “punish” them yourself) Yes, there is some super distorted, trashed, messed up…smack your grandma in the face while she’s on the treadmill type sounds in here. This library sounds amazing man! I know personally, I figured it would be just a huge collection of distorted hits and percs that sound good but aren’t very flexible…even with the great interface. So you can pretty much assume this library will definitely have that sort of “edge” to it….but this is definitely not a one trick pony…it’s really diverse.
Now of course the guys over at Heavyocity are film/cinematic dudes…they actually do score movies, trailers, and all that other stuff. It is a Kontakt library, with a great interface that inspires you to tweak…pretty much like the other products from Heavyocity Or any music that needs a heavy dose of hard percussion This is basically a percussive toolkit made for epic cinematic music, trailers, movies, games, This is a huge percussion library….so let’s check it out
