Evolve Dark Matter Lite

Sounds from the Void

Combining a core of dense, gravitational sound sources and synthesis, Evolve Dark Matter is a sample-based synthesizer built around the heavy and obscure qualities of dark matter. 

From sub-rumbling drones, tectonic low-end textures, and ominous soundscapes, Evolve Dark Matter Lite is designed for dark drum and bass, atmospheric techno, and experimental electronic music - inspired by artists such as Skrillex, Burial, and Jon Hopkins.

What can Evolve Dark Matter Lite Do?

• Blend four layers of samples or synths using the powerful quad-engine.
• Morph sounds in real time with the expressive XY Pad.
• Get instant creative sparks with one-click randomisation.
• Shape and polish your sound with physics-inspired macro effects.
• Explore 75 genre-spanning presets or create from scratch.

Four Dimensions of Sound

The source of Evolve Dark Matter Lite sounds is its quad-layer engine. Each of the four layers can house either a sample-based instrument from a selection of 125 sources, or a synth oscillator.

Sampled sources give you play direction, tone and keytracking parameters to play with, while synth sources get an oscillator shape slider and unison detuning. Control the Pitch and Fine tuning, plus Velocity Sensitivity, Panning and Volume for any sound.

Click the dice of any layer to choose a sample at random or roll the dice in the header to randomise the whole plugin, including sound sources, sound parameters and effects.

Use the XY Pad in "Sounds Mode" to blend between the four sound sources or use it in "FX mode" to modulate the parameters of a preset.

Effects for Texture and Character

Four main macro effects have been crafted specifically to shape the output of Evolve Dark Matter: Quanta is inspired by wave-particle duality, combining wavy modulation with downsampling the audio into discrete packets. Entropy layers heavy distortion, noise and chaos. Orbit offers a combination of a slow oscillating phaser with faster flutter-style pitch modulation. Infinite provides an endless delay, mixed with a vast reverb inspired by the depths of space.
