Heavyocity (NYC) Announces Evolve 1.5 Upgrade – Proceeds Benefit Cancer Research

July 29th, 2010 by David Weiss

NYC-based virtual instrument developer Heavyocity has announced an upgrade to Version 1.5 for their powerful and highly inspiring instrument Evolve.

Evolve evolves

The upgrade includes all new User Interfaces for each instrument category including new controls and effects such as Cabinet, Skreamer, and lo-fi. In addition to the updated interface, Heavyocity has included their signature “Trigger FX” engine.

The Trigger FX, first released with Evolve Mutations 2, provides 12 discreet effects made up of filter sweeps, delays, compression, panning, distortion, Lo-Fi, and more that 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 effects performances that will radically alter the original sounds with the hit of a key.

The Evolve 1.5 Upgrade is available for Evolve users only, and is not compatible with the Evolve Mutations products. It is powered by the Kontakt 4 Player by Native Instruments (version 4.1 or higher).

The Upgrade is a $29.95 download purchase, and 50% of the proceeds are being donated to Cancer Research at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, via Fred’s Team. This November, Heavyocity co-founder Dave Fraser will be running the ING NYC Marathon with Fred’s Team, a group of dedicated runners of all abilities who participate in athletic events to raise funds for cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
