Sound Design and Engine Controls

The core of the instrument is the SD Designer, which Heavyocity describes as the heart of the product. It offers an intuitive browser for loading more than 400 sources across three banks. A CYCLE page provides granular and rhythmic playback, and a MACRO knob controls multiple parameters at once for dynamic changes during playback.

The library also includes four engines in total, so you can shape sounds in several ways without leaving the instrument.

Braams, Loops and Rhythmic Pedals

Braam Designer contains 108 tonal hits, and 36 of them are provided as three stems (subs, mids and tails), which lets you process each layer separately. Loop Designer adds 216 loops, split into 144 melodic motifs and 72 rhythmic pedals.

The performer set covers Traditional, Hybrid, Damaged and Soundscapes articulations, along with tempo-synced, multi-sampled pedals and damaged guitars for rhythmic drive.
