Heavyocity Launches The AEON Collection – Extremely Deep Virtual Instrument

Synth lovers are on a roll, with tempting new options coming out a fast rate these days.

A particularly significant new arrival is Heavyocity’s AEON, a highly compelling new collection of deeply-sampled melodic instruments, cutting-edge tonal loops, and epic one-shots for composers and adventurous producers alike.

Melodic is one of the environments of Heavyocity’s new AEON…

This is no lightweight plugin on your hard drive – it sports 27+ GB of material, fuel for this extremely expressive instrument for Kontakt 5. The sounds – from out-of-this-world to gorgeously organic – were created by New York City-based Heavyocity, a highly accomplished sound design team with plenty of film and video game scoring under their belt.

They created a collection that combines orchestral, traditional, and ethnic instruments together with analog and digital synth, making unique sounds and texture their prime objective. Feels that are aggressive, ambient, rhythmic, and a great deal in between can be heard on the demos. The Rhythmic Loop Mutator’s possibilities should appeal to loop scientists in particular.

The AEON Collection is available exclusively at Heavyocity’s website. The AEON Collection, which is comprised of two bundles, AEON Melodic and AEON Rhythmic, is now available for $399. Until April 30, existing users of Heavyocity and Heavyocity/Native Instruments products (Evolve, Evolve Mutations, Evolve Mutations 2, Evolve Mutations Bundle, Damage, and Komplete Ultimate 8 or 9) can get the full collection for $349. AEON Melodic will be available separately for $299, with AEON Rhythmic available separately for $199.

Here are the full details, straight from Heavyocity:

As the successor to Heavyocity’s critically acclaimed “Evolve” series and “DAMAGE” percussion library, AEON was developed over the course of 18 months, by employing inventive recording, sound design, and synthesis techniques. The AEON Collection is comprised of two products, AEON Melodic and AEON Rhythmic. The instrument is based on 10,000+ samples meticulously recorded using state-of-the-art equipment, resulting in 27+ GB of source material (compressed to 13GB on disk).

…and Rhythmic is the other.

AEON Melodic contains 315 multi-sampled playable instruments comprised of 130+ organic presets, 160+ synths and hybrid presets, and 39 signature AEON Hits. AEON Rhythmic provides 330+ beatsliced melodic loops that can be mixed and matched seamlessly to create complex layered melodic phrases.

The included Single Loop presets offer detailed playback control for intuitive sound tweaking and re-composing. AEON’s robust sound is complemented by an intuitive and easy to use interface, including advanced Trigger FXTM, the infamous Punish knob, and the new Twist knob. AEON Rhythmic’s Loop Mutator enables the user to sequence and re-compose loops in previously unimaginable ways. AEON Melodic’s Advanced Arpeggiator enables the user to quickly create motifs and build intricate rhythmic
patterns.

As a Kontakt-powered instrument, AEON offers all relevant playback and sound shaping functionality through the free Kontakt 5 Player or full version.
