Evolve Alloy Crossgrade from any full Evolve product: Metal-Inspired Sample Synth Free Download

The core of the plugin is a quad-layer engine. Each of the four layers can hold a sample-based instrument drawn from a library of 250 sound sources, or a synth oscillator. Sources range from acoustic and tuned foley recordings to atonal textures, chords and synth tones.

You can also import your own samples to start a new patch or replace a source in an existing one. Each layer offers pitch, fine tuning, velocity sensitivity, panning and volume controls. A dice button on each layer picks a sample at random, and the header dice randomises sounds, parameters and effects together.

Twelve modulation sources include six envelopes, two LFOs, velocity and keytracking, plus the XY pad position. A modulation matrix lists all assigned routings for more detailed sound design.

Dual filters can run in parallel or in series, with a choice of filter curves and modes. Three rearrangeable effect slots offer 16 modules, including delay, reverb, compression, phaser and speaker simulation.
