A Very Cheesy Evo Pad

A collection of various "evo" inspired instruments including Cello, Piano, Synth and Voice.

The story

First of all, I am extremely sorry about how big all these ‘one-note’ files are (and yes, all the pads are one note files spread across the keyboard for effect).

This pad is made up of a few elements: me with two takes on ‘thumping’ the guitar at random speed; two of my roommates ‘singing’ ahh (that I had to auto-tune, and put through distortion, reverb, overdrive and even tremolo (logic); use a mallet from the junior school’s glockenspiel ‘orchestra’ in my school and knocking an ‘A’ piano strings a random speed overtime, as intended for a Spitfire’s evolution patch; some synth plucks also at different speed overtime made on Serum; lastly, a ‘borrow’ from a friend’s cello and playing it myself for the ‘eve’ sound, much inspired by Oliver Patrice Weder’s music of his use of the strings. I used a pair of AKG P170, sort of noise reduced with RX7.

I have included the raw cello samples if anyone wish to use them. Hope you enjoy this instrument. This pad makes a weirdly beautiful sound, and with the ‘BELL SAMPLE’ EVO 4 patch, the sound could be cool if used as bass.

Reviews

  • More than a sample pack.

    I found that these pads are sorted according to some kind of emotional state (cycle), I don't know how to describe it accurately, but all this makes it more meaningful, thank you for sharing.

  • Cheesy? This is MAJESTIC

    I seriously can't get enough of such sounds. Give them all to me! This sounds ridiculously good, very creative and super inspirational. Everything sounds really good, the sampling is awesome, and the coverage is deep. The only thing that kind of bothers me is that the stretching may be kind of obvious, since the rhythm greatly changes between the low and the high registers. Nevertheless, this will be an excellent addition for everyone.

  • Lovely collection of inspired sounds!

    There are five lovely sounds here, each of which is well recorded, well programmed, playable, and inspiring. There's a lot to like in this collection, and the sounds have a sense about them that they'd work well together in a project, but also that they'd fit in nicely in lots of different contexts. This is a great library, and I feel like it's being undersold by the creator. This is a really inspiring and inspired group of sounds!
