acquainted with EVOLVE MUTATIONS2. They are divided into 2 categories:

features on the Main Page are identical on all presets in the instrument categories.

3.1 Rhythmic Suites (Beat-Sliced, nki Preset Prexes: LPS & MLS)

Massive walls of diverse percussion, along with next-gen tonal elements make up the Rhythmic

Suites. In all, more than 225 beat-sliced loops are formatted to create four menu-style instru-

ment presets (three percussive and one tonal). To create more options for the user, the three

percussive suites are broken down into slices and mapped onto individual presets. These pre-

sets are referred to as “Mapped Loop Slices” (or MLS). We have provided the accompanying

MIDI les to give users the ability to tweak, rearrange or remix the loop. The MLS presets are

named according to the key of the menu that plays that loop (example: “MLS Scorefare Menu

erally consist of the larger, deeper, impact sounds (epic drums, big metals, etc.). Moving up

the register, the loops shift towards higher, wispier types of sounds (hi hats, shakers, etc.).

New to the Rhythmic Suites in EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 is a

collection of real-time, trigger effects that are mapped to the

top octave of each menu (C6-B6). The triggers are also MIDI

or in combinations to create radical new performances of the

closest to the tonal center (the root key), but you can also achieve some very interesting re-

sults by using the higher and lower keys.
