Single Loops allow you to play the full loop in any key using C-1 - C1 and then there is a set of Key Mapped Slices from C#1-E6. It's easy to mix and match and there is a set of Key-Switches (C-1 - C#1) to tune the loops to any key at the low end of the keyboard. Suites are collections of Tempo Synced melodic loops mapped across the keyboard. The loop content ranges from gentle organic phrases to bone splintering synth madness! There are three main types of instruments: Suites, Single Loops and Three Loop Combos all of which have different sample mappings.

The layout is very similar to the AEON Melodic instruments with all the Master FX and Touch-FX and so forth. Menu Suite (Arp) and Single Loop (Arp): Utilize the all-new Loop Mutator.ĪEON Rhythmic is all about melodic loops.Three Loop Combos: These are made of 3 individual loops, carefully picked and combined into single presets.Quickly modify and remix a loop using Drag & Drop MIDI or Loop Mutator. Single Loops: Contains over 330 single loop patches.Menu Suites: Provides menu style presets of tempo-synced/beat-sliced loops.While AEON Rhythmic is only about a gigabyte in size, it packs a big punch! The library is split into 5 folders: The Organic (Arp) and Synth (Arp) Instrument patches use these to great effect and really have to be played to get the full scope of the Arpeggiator's features. Heavyocity have included some nice edit features for copy/paste and resetting lanes which is handy! There is also a simple Amplitude sequencer that can be triggered via notes Bb6 - C7. There are a number of presets available with the option to save up to 25 user presets. You also have the ability to 'Chain' up to eight 16 step sequencer patterns to create fairly long (128 step) and complex rhythmic and musical phrases. Besides pitch, you can also create sequences for velocity and note length which adds lots of creative power. It can also however be used to create complex melodic patterns using the Pitch lane very much like a step sequencer. The Arpeggiator can be used to create regular arpeggiated patterns that you'll find on most synths. The Hybrid patches are a combination of Synth and Organic instruments while the AEON Hits are fantastic one-shot Tonal FX.īut it doesn't end there!! Each Instrument comes with a sophisticated Arpeggiator that can be found in the Advanced Performance page. There are also many combinations of layered instruments too.

It features a great set of Synth patches that cover a lot of ground while the Organic patches feature things like Fretless/Upright Basses, Tuned Cowbells, Bowed Glocks and Crotales, Dulcimers, Dobros, Banjos, Harps, Pianos, Organs, Wurlis, Cellos and Tankdrum. The palette of sounds is fairly diverse in AEON Melodic and I'm not sure you can put it into any sort of pigeon hole. There is also a Global LFO to control the filters.Īll this adds up to some serious tweaking and sound shaping potential! And while you're limited to the sample sets in each instrument the ability to blend up to three channels in each and layer these with other instrument patches inside Kontakt gives you a wealth of tonal and creative possibilities.
