Evolve Velvet is described as the sound of nostalgia, combining vintage keyboards, intimate acoustic instruments, and warm lo-fi textures, and it is a unique sample-based synthesizer inspired by the smooth and luxurious character of Velvet. Its palette is documented: it combines over 250 sound sources ranging from felt pianos and classic electric keyboards to timeless strings and sought after classic synths from the 70's and 80's, which places it in the warm, intimate, and slightly worn corner of the Evolve range — distinct from Alloy's metallic character, Dark Matter's heaviness, Elastic's futurism, and Air's atmospherics. Its engine follows the series architecture: you blend your sound from four layers, morph between them with the XY pad, and then shape the output using four velvet-inspired macro effects: Soften, Warmth, Sway, and Haze. The full feature list comprises 4 Sound Sources (A, B, C, D), Sample and Synth OSC engines, an XY Pad with Sounds and FX modes, 250 sound sources across Acoustic, Chords, Multisample, Synth, Textures, and Transients, user sample import, randomise across sounds, parameters, and effects, and the 4 macros. Beyond the macros there are dual filters, endless modulation potential, and 16 effects modules to power its 250 presets crafted by Excite Audio's team of professional sound designers. It runs as VST, VST3, AU, AAX, and standalone on macOS 10.15 or higher (Intel and native Apple Silicon) and Windows 7 or higher, 64-bit only, with a recommended buffer size of 512 samples or higher, tested in Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Nuendo, Reaper, and Reason. A Lite edition, an Upgrade from Evolve Velvet Lite, and a Crossgrade from any full Evolve product are also available. It suits lo-fi, chillhop, ambient, indie, and cinematic production.
