Aevium

Aevium is a powerfully unique collection of fierce lead synths and atmospheric pads, developed in partnership with the premier sound effects and Foley production house BOOM Library. Our team sound designed Aevium using only source sounds from their Birds Of Prey avian sound effect library as our point of origin. We love to challenge ourselves as sound designers here at Soundiron, seeking ever more exotic acoustic sources to explore and shape into musically compelling and intuitively playable virtual instruments.

Birds Of Prey is a comprehensive post-production sound effects library capturing the essence of owls, eagles, crows, hawks, falcons, vultures and other raptors, corvids and large birds of prey. Perfect for creating natural wildlife soundscapes and character/creature sounds, it's an essential tool for sound design and post-production for video games, film, television, video, advertising and more. To build Aevium, we selected a wide variety of raw source sounds from Birds Of Prey and worked for months to warp, stretch, modulate, glitch, overdrive, and generally tear into bits and bytes and re-synthesize them into a stunning sample-based virtual instrument library. We've hand-crafted 11GB of sound-designed content, with over 1800 samples. The preset browser tree makes it easy to explore and create! Everything is conveniently organized into a variety of helpful and efficiently searchable musical, textural, and aesthetic categories.

The user interface is built on our popular Ouroboros ambient synthesis engine (Ambius Prime, Quadral), so the creative possibilities are truly limitless. Whether you're looking for classic punchy lead patches, warm fuzzy pads, dark drones, bubbling atmospherics, otherworldly textures or just pure flights of imagination, Aevium is your wing man! The main user interface is built around four separate quadrants, an assignable XY Pad, quick modulator + filter routing menus, and arpeggiator system to expand your creative potential. Each layer has fully independent sound-shaping options including Attack, Release, Offset, Pitch and Pan. Every quadrant has its own individual filter with 39 built-in filter types, as well as modulators using a variety of sources: LFO, ADSR and Velocity with 5 selectable targets: Volume, Pitch, Pan, Filter Frequency, Filter Resonance.

The central XY Pad can be used in a variety of ways but defaults as volume control between the 4 layers. Each axis can be customized to affect a different parameter and can be used to control filters or a select amount of FX options. Rhythmic motion can also be added to the XY Pad, automatically adjusting each axis in a tempo-syncable way. You can also limit the X and Y range to create new patterns and fluctuations in tone.
