Excite Audio debuts Evolve Velvet as the newest sample-based synthesizer within their established Evolve collection. The instrument draws from vintage keyboard and string machine aesthetics to create warm, nostalgic sounds perfect for lo-fi house and psychedelic pop production. Musicians gain access to over 250 audio sources spanning felt pianos, electric keyboards, string sections, and retro synthesizers from the 1970s and 1980s. Artists can layer four sounds per patch while using the XY pad for real-time morphing and macro controls labeled Soften, Warmth, Sway, and Haze. Additional features encompass dual filtering systems, a flexible three-slot effects chain, intuitive drag-and-drop modulation, and more than 250 factory patches.
The software supports VST, AU, and AAX plugin formats across Mac and Windows platforms through Plugin Boutique distribution. Pricing starts at 39 euros or pounds until October 31, 2025, before returning to the standard 59 euros or pounds rate. Upgrade paths exist for current Evolve Velvet Lite users and crossgrade options for Evolve Alloy owners.
