Evolve Elastic is a sample-based synthesizer plugin by Excite Audio that layers four sound sources and reshapes them with modulation and elastic-inspired macro effects. It includes 250 sound sources spanning basslines, plucks, textures and pads.
Evolve Elastic is built around a quad-layer engine, where each of four layers can hold either a sample-based instrument or a synth oscillator. The XY pad blends between layers in Sounds Mode, or modulates instrument parameters in FX Mode. You can also import your own samples to build custom patches. The plugin is available in VST3, VST2, AU, AAX and Standalone formats for Windows and macOS.
Each of the four layers can hold a sample from the 250-source library or a synth oscillator. Sample sources offer play direction, tone and keytracking controls, while synth sources add an oscillator shape slider with unison and detune.
Pitch, fine tuning, velocity sensitivity, panning and volume are available for every layer. A dice button on each layer picks a random sample, and the header dice randomises sound sources, parameters and effects together.
The plugin offers 12 modulation sources, including six envelopes with delay and hold, two LFOs with retrigger and offset options, velocity and keytracking with adjustable curves, and the XY pad position. A full modulation matrix lists all assigned routings.
The four macros are Melt, Bounce, Stretch and Gloss. The developer describes them as tools for distortion, rubbery delay, flanging and phasing, and high-end sheen. Dual filters and three rearrangeable effect slots, each with 16 effect modules, complete the signal chain.
