Evolve Alloy Upgrade from Evolve Alloy Lite: Sample-Based Metal Synth Upgrade Free Download

Evolve Alloy builds sounds from four layers labeled A, B, C and D. Each layer can hold either a sample-based instrument from a library of 250 sources or a synth oscillator. Sources span acoustic, atonal, chords, multisample, synth, textures and tuned foley categories.

You can also import your own samples to start a new patch or replace a source in an existing one. The XY Pad works in Sounds mode to blend the four sources, or in FX mode to modulate any available parameter.

The developer describes the synth as capturing the sonic essence of metal, with sounds ranging from tough and impactful to shimmering and ethereal.

Four macro effects shape the output: Sharpen reduces sustain and increases transients, Rust adds distortion and grit, Vibrate adds short delays and feedback for a metallic tone, and Spring applies a spring reverb character. These macros can be routed before or after the FX modules.

Dual filters offer HPF, LPF, BP and Peak modes and can run in parallel or series. Three rearrangeable effects slots host effects such as saturation, delay, reverb, compressor, phaser and speaker simulation.

Modulation uses 12 sources, including six ADSR-style envelopes with delay and hold, two LFOs, velocity, keytracking and the XY Pad position, along with a modulation matrix for advanced routing.
