What is Evolve Mutations 2

Featuring over 300 presets of completely new and unique instruments for the modern composer and sound designer, EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 is more than a ‘sequel’ to the original EVOLVE MUTATIONS. In addition to the newly designed user interface, there are radical new effects and parameters available on this cinematic music composer software to tweak and shape your sound. Powered by the Kontakt 5 Player, MUTATIONS 2 is a great new tool on it’s own or as an addition to EVOLVE and MUTATIONS 1. Figure out which EVOLVE software caters best to your creative needs by referencing the Heavyocity EVOLVE & EVOLVE MUTATIONS product comparison chart. EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 includes the signature Trigger FX^tm feature. Users can create effects performances that will radically alter the original sounds.

Features

EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 is powered by the Native Instruments Kontakt engine. This cinematic music composer software is fully integrated into the Kontakt 5 (Player) browser, and has an intuitive user interface. Users are provided with control over ADSR, HIGH PASS FILTER (including cut-off and resonance), LOW PASS FILTER (including cut-off and resonance), and EFFECTS (including Skreamer, Lo-Fi, Reverb, and Delay). Through the Kontakt interface, users also have control of Tuning, Pan, and volume. Also found in Evolve Mutations 2 is the signature "Trigger FX^TM Engine".

Instrument Details

The sound of Evolve Mutations 2 comes from Rhythmic Suites, loops, kits, and effects, all powered by the Kontakt 5 (Player) engine. All loops and kits are designed for seamless layering and maximum flexibility, and loosely classified in four styles: Epic Organic, Epic Tech, Industrial Electronic, and Mangled Pop.

Rhythmic Suites (Loops)

This cinematic music composer software has massive crunchy beats, walls of tweaked percussion, and next-gen tonal elements that make up the Rhythmic Suite categories. The percussive loops are broken down into slices and mapped into individual presets allowing the user to rearrange and create their own loops.

Percussive Kits

Ranging from twisted drum kits to unique impacts, this category puts a variety of percussive sounds at your fingertips. Made up of 5 different menu-style kits, the Percussive Kits are best used as one-off hits or as elements to build your own beats.

Stings & Transitions

Offering distinct new ways to heighten emotional impact, this category is perfect for adding terrifying or serene punctuation to a film soundtrack or unique textures to the breakdown of a song. The category is comprised of several menus in addition to the associated sounds mapped onto individual presets.

Tonality & FX

A mashed up array of instruments that stray from the traditional “meat and potatoes” sounds that many cinematic music composers already have. From organic, otherworldly soundscapes to gnarled-out synths, to treated melodic instruments, Evolve Mutations 2 provides sounds that will bring an innovative quality to your arrangements.

The Trigger FX Engine

New to EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 is the highly innovative ‘TRIGGER FX’ feature. Made up of 12 discreet effects (filter sweeps, delays, compression, panning, distortion, Lo-Fi, and more), the Trigger FX can be performed and recorded using a midi keyboard, or user-assigned CC Values. Within the presets of the Rhythmic Suites, Percussive Kits, and Stings and Transitions categories, this real-time FX performance tool can create radical transformations of the original sounds with the hit of a key.

What The Pros Say About Evolve Mutations 2

Evolve Mutations 2

Inon Zur
"Dragon Age Origins", "Fallout 3", "Prince of Persia Series"
"With my daily composing work I need to produce a lot of music and very fast, but also music that sounds fully produced and in high quality. This is exactly what Evolve Mutations 2 gives me, and then some! The quality of the samples is superb, and the loops are flawless. On top of that this library is very easy to operate, so it just makes my life easier. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
Evolve Mutations 2

Charles Deenen
"The Fast & Furious 1/2"), Audio Director - Electronic Arts (Need for Speed Series), Sound Designer (Feature Film Trailers
"Just when Evolve had become one of my ‘go to’ musical sound design instruments, Heavyocity piles on the awesomeness with Mutations 2. I love the new designy pads, great new hits, the new interface and the real time trigger FX. 2 thumbs way up and a big grin on my face. Very useful stuff!"
Evolve Mutations 2

Kevin Riepl
"Aliens: Colonial Marines", "Crackdown 2", "Gears of War", "Unreal 3", Batman Unlimited, Justice League:
"Mutations 2 takes Heavyocity’s sound into an even more customizable, destructive realm. The programming and 'Trigger FX’ switching in this new set of sounds eliminates huge amounts of time I normally spend personalizing sounds. Out of the box, Mutations 2 once again fits nicely with the style I write. Adding in the ‘on the fly’ effects key-switching makes this this collection a MUST BUY."

Brian Tyler
"Bangkok Dangerous", "Eagle Eye", "Fast & Furious", "Law Abiding Citizen"
"Evolve Mutations 2 take the core musical and sonic coolness of Evolve to a completely different level. The sounds are extreme and evocative. A really great tool for anyone in music production."

"EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 delivers a new kick-ass set of inspiring, great sounding, very playable loops and instrument patches. Letting you play, process and “evolve” the sounds in real time using just your keyboard and key commands, EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 delivers like nothing else. I’m hooked!"

"District 9", "G.I. Joe", "Men Who Stare At Goats", "Nightmare On Elm Street", "Terminator Salvation", "The Informant", "The Latin Project", Remixer/Producer/Composer (Alanis Morissette - Bebel Gilberto - Morcheeba)
"As a remixer, I'm always looking for new sounds that bring fresh attitude to a track. Evolve Mutations 2 has the most inspiring collection of sonics under one instrument, that I've heard in years! When it comes to edgy glitchy, industrial beats, nothing comes close. If I'm looking to elevate the atmospherics and deepen the production, Evolve Mutations 2 is the first place I go."

Lee Sanders
"Project Runway", "The Amazing Race", "The Bachelor"
"This library is a beast! It opens up a whole new playground for keeping the "sound of the sound" alive and responsive—and, above all, inspiring. Like its predecessors, it makes me want to hang out in my studio for days on end and just explore. The Trigger FX function adds a whole new dimension, making it seriously addictive to explore even deeper, effectively banishing the "been there, heard that" personality of so many other libraries. With Mutations 2 Heavyocity have 'upped the game'… again."

"Heavyocity has raised the bar again. Mutations 2 is another must have for any composer's arsenal. Not only does it sound great, but the sounds are highly useable and sit just right in a mix."
