Native Instruments has released Evolve, a Kontakt-based instrument created by sound design house Heavyocity, the team behind Damage and the Evolve Mutations series.

Evolve offers a resource for cinematic sound design that brings together a selection of sounds, rhythms and FX designed specifically for film composers and sound designers. With approximately 6GB of sample content, Evolve provides a resource for cinematic sounds, textures and ambiences. A variety of styles are included in the instrument, ranging from beats for dramatic tension, atonal stings for added suspense, or serene melodic lines for intricate tonal sequences.

Evolve is available for a suggested price of US$229 from authorized dealers and at the NI Online Shop (http://www.native-instruments.com/Evolve). An upgrade for owners of Evolve Mutations 1 or 2, or the bundle, is available for $119 at the NI Online Shop.
