Meteor is a swell and impact designer plugin from UVI for creating risers, crescendos and impacts for film, games and music. It layers seven sample layers with modulation and effects.
Meteor is built for composers, sound designers and musicians who need sweeping swells, dramatic crescendos and heavy impacts quickly. UVI positions it as a creative sound design tool with an immediate workflow. Each sound can be mixed, modulated and processed with effects, then played back in sync with the action or played musically with polyphony and velocity support. The plugin runs on Windows and macOS in 64-bit.
Meteor uses a 7-layer architecture, so each sound is built from several sample layers rather than a single file. Every layer can be edited, and modulation and effects can be applied across the stack to shape the final sound.
This structure suits sound designers who want to build risers and impacts from separate components, adjusting the balance and character of each layer until the result fits the scene.
The library includes foley, orchestral and synthetic sounds, along with field recordings and effects. UVI says the orchestral material comes from exclusive sessions, giving producers a mix of organic and electronic source material to combine.
The range of sources makes Meteor usable across film scoring, game audio and music production, where the same tool can supply cinematic gestures and more musical swells.
