Hybrid Trailer Sound Design and Rhythm Tools

Evolution: Dragon is built around trailer and hybrid cinematic styles. Keepforest says the instrument includes the core elements used in large-scale trailer sound design, so it is intended for composers and sound designers working in the film and game trailer industries.

The centerpiece is a rhythmic sequencer. Its rhythm designer lets you build underscore patterns and add rhythmic elements to a track without a lot of setup, which is the main way the library aims to speed up score creation.

Instrument Content and Sample Quality

The library contains over 120 Kontakt instruments and 3.6 GB of content. Samples are high-quality .wav files at 48kHz / 24-bit. The collection covers designed rhythmic elements alongside synths, basses, pads and other instruments built from both acoustic and synthetic sources.

The developer describes the instruments as recorded and ready to work with, and the library is set up for easy customization so you can shape sounds to fit a project.
