AEON Collection

Both AEON Melodic and AEON Rhythmic in one collection! The AEON Collection delivers over 720 presets with 27 GB (14GB on disk) of organic and synth Melodic Instruments, cutting-edge Loops, Arpeggiated Instruments and epic One-Shots.

This unique collection combines traditional, ethnic, and orchestral instruments with searing synths and edgy samples, all created with Heavyocity’s signature quality. Create lush melodies, dark lyrical phrases and devastating synth and bass lines directly within a deeply customized user interface.

AEON's Melodic component provides 315 presets and 9,800+ samples of playable instruments in a deeply customizable interface. This vast collection is comprised of traditional instruments, unique ensembles, aggressive analog synths, hybrid presets, and signature “AEON HITS”. Quickly create motifs or build intricate rhythmic patterns with your own melodies in the custom Arpeggiator. Redefine your sound with AEON's Advanced Trigger FX, Arpeggiator, and deep modulation controls.

AEON Rhythmic delivers 315+ tempo-synced melodic loops arranged in menu-style suites and single loop presets. Create intricate melodic grooves by layering loops in the menu suites. Re-compose any single loop by re-arranging its slices via midi drag-and-drop or the signature "Loop Mutator"tm. This groundbreaking new feature enables you to sequence and re-arrange the playback of looped material in previously unimaginable ways.

COLLECTION DETAILS:

• Control Your Sound:

AEON’S user interface was designed FOR composers and sound designers BY composers and sound designers, providing simple, intuitive ways to alter the sounds without leaving the interface. Similar to DAMAGE, three levels of effects are intrinsically bound to the Melodic and Rhythmic Components — apply effects globally, engage the Trigger-FX, or tweak individual sounds.

• Twist, Punish, Effect

 
Globally affect the preset with one of the 4 Master FX (Delay, Mod, Drive, and Convolution). You have control over four effect-specific parameters (like effect amount, rate, size, or depth). Dial in the aggression with the signature “Punish” Knob, a combination of saturation, distortion, and compression. Or, modulate the shape of the sound with the new “Twist” knob.

• EQ, Filter, Modulate

Sculpt your tone with per-channel and per-loop EQs or add sizzle and punch with the 4-band Master EQ. New in AEON is the ability to control the modulation of filters with an envelope or LFO. Alter the amount and rate of an LFO, or trigger the Filter with an ADSR envelope.

     AEON MELODIC

• The Mixer Page
  
  
  AEON’s mixer provides tune, pan, and level control for each of it’s 3 channels. Adjust the faders for the right blend of organic sounds, detune synth parts, or automate the controls via midi to modulate the mix. Tap into per channel (or linkable) ADSR envelopes and filters for timbre tweaking. Per channel solo and mute buttons isolate individual sounds if desired, while “Purge” turns off an individual channel and reduces the instrument’s memory footprint.

• Advanced Arpeggiating
  
  
  AEON Melodic's Advanced Arpeggiator allows for composition of melodic and rhythmic phrases. Load one of the 5 factory presets, or save your own for use in any preset. You have full control over step amount and can adjust time signature, note subdivision (straight or triplet), individual note duration, pitch, and velocity. There are also controls for retrigger, glide, poly/mono, octave randomizing, and playback type (chord, pairs, etc). It includes 8 fully customizable and linkable patterns per preset, to create long and intricate melodic phrases.
  
  AEON RHYTHMIC
   

• The Loop Mutator™
  
  
  AEON's all-new Loop Mutator™ allows you to re-compose and re-imagine 300+ loops with spectacular results. You have full control over step amount, time signature, note subdivision (straight or triplet), individual note duration, Loop/Slice selection, and velocity. There are also controls for glide, octave randomizing, and playback type (chord, pairs, etc). Eight fully customizable and linkable patterns per preset allow you to create complex melodic grooves and patterns. Use any of AEON's tonal loops as they are or turn on the Loop Mutator™ and create unique sequences that are completely your own.
   

• Loop Control
  
  
  AEON Rhythmic provides the loops in two types of presets, Menu Suites and Single Loops. The Menu Suites provide 63 loops intelligently mapped across the keyboard, ranging from low to high timbres. You can easily change the tonal center by using the tuning keyswitches found at the bottom of the keyrange. The Singe Loop presets provide detailed control over individual loops. Tweak the level, pan and tuning for each slice, and use the new Advanced Trigger FX, Amp Sequencer, and Loop Mutator™ to further re-define your sound. In addition, the “MIDI To Host” button allows you to quickly import all of the loop’s slice midi data to any DAW with the simple drag of the mouse.

    THE SOUND OF AEON

  Over the course of two years, Heavyocity captured in-depth recordings of a wide array of instruments. Over 10,000 samples were recorded at 48 kHz, 24-bit in world class studios. Instruments ranging from Tuned Cowbells and Upright Bass to pristine Crotales and Harps provide you with a vast range of timbres at your fingertips
• Unique Ensembles
  
  
  AEON provides a vast range of sampled material including a number of unique ensembles. Performed in unison, these ensembles were made up of instruments like Tuned Dinner Bells, Stringed Oil Cans, and Plucked Guitar.
• Pure Analog Synth
  
  
  For AEON, Heavyocity captured true analog fatness from a combination of modular analog synth rigs. Carefully crafted, tuned, and tracked, these sounds range from serene to horrifically aggressive.
