Excite Audio and Nest Acoustics Launch Evolve Nest Acoustics

Excite Audio has officially released Evolve Nest Acoustics, marking the inaugural collaboration in their Evolve series. This innovative plugin was developed in partnership with sound designer and music maker Nest Acoustics. Fundamentally, Evolve Nest Acoustics functions as a sample-based instrument, meticulously crafted to offer a contemporary “botanica” sound palette. It achieves this by skillfully merging foley, nature, and various field recordings with classic analogue synthesis techniques. Consequently, producers gain access to a unique sonic foundation for their projects.

Under the hood, the instrument features a robust quad-engine design. This architecture incorporates four distinct sound layers, which can be dynamically blended and morphed in real-time using the intuitive Evolve XY Pad. Furthermore, the plugin boasts comprehensive modulation capabilities, allowing for intricate sound sculpting. For instance, users can assign drag-and-drop envelopes and LFOs to various parameters, significantly enhancing creative control. Additionally, four organically inspired macro effects—Holo, Crust, Breeze, and Erode—are included to further shape and polish sounds.

Hybrid Textures and Sound Design Capabilities

Evolve Nest Acoustics is specifically engineered for synthwave composition and modern sound design. It excels at delivering a hybrid blend of organic-synthetic textures, luminous pads, and vibrant atmospheres that possess a distinct sense of life and tactility. The ability to import personal samples stands out as a key feature, enabling users to construct entirely custom patches and expand the instrument’s inherent versatility. Moreover, the one-click randomisation function offers an immediate source of creative inspiration, proving useful for breaking through creative blocks or exploring new sonic territories rapidly.

The sound shaping tools extend beyond the core engine. Users can refine their tone with dual filters, which provide flexible frequency manipulation. Furthermore, a rearrangeable 3-slot FX chain allows for further sound processing and customization. To kickstart creativity, the plugin comes loaded with 250 genre-spanning presets. However, for those who prefer to build from the ground up, the option to create patches from scratch is fully supported, catering to both quick inspiration and deep sound design.
