However, one of the great things here is that Evolve's samples are not only dripping with character, but also nail many, many film and TV clichés, which means that most things you play immediately bring to mind the kinds of film and TV scenes they typically accompany. Rhythmic SuitesĬlearly, the task of describing these sounds presents similar problems for the reviewer. You can take a pretty good guess at what patches like 'Vapor Freeze', 'Glasteroids', 'Whaling Wailing', 'Creep-out Builds' and (a personal favourite) 'Alien Guitar Womb' sound like just by the names, and it's also surprising how accurately the patches deliver that imagined sound when you actually audition them. The difference between the Percussive Hits and Stings & Transitions sound-families, on the other hand, is primarily defined by the samples' amplitude envelopes, with the latter group featuring slower attack and release characteristics in general, which is a useful, if slightly fuzzy, distinction.Īnother great thing is the way in which some of the patches have been perceptively named to trigger strong mental images closely fitting the sound in question. Other categorisations take a practical slant, such as flagging the presence of tonal elements (things like chords and drones) within the samples that may need to be aligned with harmonies in your other instrumental parts. Obviously, in some cases the identity of the source sampled provides a mental hook on which to hang the sounds - although some of the sounds in the Uncaged Piano and Toolshed & Warehouse categories are pretty way-out, the categories do at least give a basic idea of what sonic territory you might expect to be covered, and also make it easier to relocate favourite sounds once they're discovered.

Sensibly, Heavyocity have paid careful attention to descriptive patch naming. The very selling point of this kind of library, namely that it provides loads of sounds that are difficult to classify, presents something of a problem when it comes to categorising and organising the library content within each of these families. The Percussive Kits and Stings & Transitions families both feature banks of one-shot samples, while the Tonality & FX section focuses on more melodic and pad-like instruments, as well as lots of evocative special-effect phrase samples. The Rhythmic Suites are sliced rhythmic loops that will automatically sync to the Player's global tempo setting or the tempo of a host sequencer. Organising The IndefinableĮvolve's content comprises a number of families of sounds. You can do this on a separate machine if your studio computer, like mine, has no Internet connection.

Installing the single DVD is the usual opportunity for a swift pint, and requires a challenge-and-response-style registration procedure via Native Instruments' web site. It is the brainchild of experienced media composers Dave Fraser and Neil Goldberg, who have produced music for industry heavyweights such as Sony, Gillette, Pepsi, MTV, VH1, NBC, Discovery Channel, Sci-Fi Network, Activision and Obsidian Entertainment, to name only a handful. Which is where Heavyocity's new Evolve comes in, delivering 6GB of exactly this kind of ear candy in a tidy Kontakt 2 Player format.

Although even the most common of these sounds are arrived at in rather odd ways, they are the stock in trade of professional composers of music to picture, and you're unlikely to get far from the starting blocks without a good collection of them to call on. You'll typically find that this leaves quite a lot to be accounted for, especially where the music concerned carries any element of suspense or mystery - ethereal background washes, pulsating synthetic drones, slithering metallic swells, and unnerving distant chants are just some of the sounds that regularly serve for scene-setting and punctuation purposes.

Listen closely to film or TV music and then try mentally stripping away all instruments with an obvious name: electric guitars, cellos, drums, bloody Uilleann pipes.
