Designed to inspire, and powered by the Free Kontakt Player, DAMAGE delivers jaw-dropping quality in a powerfully intuitive and easy to use interface. It is a unique instrument combining orchestral percussion, incredible sampled sounds and edgy electronics. Many producers can live with that - it simply bears testament to this collection's exceptional quality.Dark, aggressive, thrilling and threatening - DAMAGE is breathtaking cinematic percussion with a tense, epic edge. The only downside is that every sound is so vibrant and distinctive you might spot an Evolve sound in a mix a mile away. The percussive loops are a real treat, and Heavyocity's attention to sonic detail is evident on every instrument.Įvolve now integrates seamlessly with Native Instruments' Maschine too access to the hundreds of percussion sounds and loops is quick and easy through the Maschine interface. Singular soundsĮvolve covers many bases and excels at them all, giving you exciting extra colours to add to an otherwise lacklustre arrangement. This is not the place to come for an all-round collection of standard pad, bass or drum sounds, though.
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. 'Piano Dreamer' is a beautiful lead sound with a haunting twist standard piano key hits fade away with a convoluted reverb tail that's as haunting as it is beguiling. 'Orchestral Bass Drum' is a menacing roll that could be just as useful in a dancefloor 'build up' as in a murder scene.
Maybe in version three…įirst impressions are that these sounds will be ideal for dramatic moments in movie scores, but that's not the whole story. We'd have liked to see the ability to 'slew' between filter settings, giving the player a smoother and more natural transition as you scroll through the steps. This gives you instant burbling filter swept patterns, and sounds amazing when playing chords. The Seq and Arp instruments deserve special mention, because they include a simple integrated step-sequencer to manipulate the velocity, pan and filter 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 interface is clean, simple and gives you the controls to tweak the master effect, filter and envelope settings. The sounds are presented in five distinct flavours: Rhythmic Suites, Percussive Kits, Seq and Arp, Stings and Transitions, and Tonality and FX.
