03In depth

Layered Sound Design and Sequencing

Asteroid gives you seven sample layers per part, each drawn from a wide range of sources. Within the editor you can sculpt each sound, place it spatially in the mix, and add multi-FX along with master EQ and dynamics.

The sequencer offers six lanes per part and 128 steps of velocity, pan, pitch, decay, reverb and delay. These parameters can be set separately for each track, which allows rhythmic patterns to develop and change over time.

Presets, Kits and Typical Use

The library includes hundreds of kits and sequenced presets, so you can start from a finished rhythm or effect and edit it. Presets are a practical starting point for building cinematic percussion, risers and transitions for film, game and music projects.

The developer positions Asteroid as a tool for composers, sound designers and musicians who want a fast workflow with a deep sound library.
