The Main Page
The main user interface was designed with simplicity and flexibility in mind, so that you can focus on the task of making great music rather than searching endlessly for the necessary tools!
Main Controls
The Main Page provides you with all of the following controls to help you shape the initial sound (dependent on the patch being used):
On the left-hand side of the interface:
- ATT (Attack) – controls the attack (fade in) time.
- DEC (Decay) – controls the time it takes for the volume to fade from the maximum value to the sustain value.
- SUS (Sustain) – controls the level at which the envelope will sustain while the key is held.
- REL (Release) – controls the release (fade out) time of the envelope after the key is released.
On the right-hand side of the interface:
- Pan – controls the pan.
- Tune – controls tuning in the range of one octave.
- Stereo – adjust the stereo image of the selected sample, all the way from mono to a super wide stereo sound.
- Glide – (in playable types of patches) adjust the amount of time it will take for one not to “glide” smoothly to the next.
Note: If you are using a trailer or a rhythmic type of patch, it means that you can change settings only for the selected sample. If you want to change these settings for the whole patch at once, you have to hold the ALT key.
Additional Controls
- Hybrid Control – the big center knob with the on/off switch controls the following effects dependent on patch:
Playable & Trailer Patches – Combination of Screamer, Saturation & Equalization.
Rhythm Patches – Crossfading between five dynamic layers.
Guitar Patches – Controls vibrato.
- Whoosh/Long – allows you to turn off the build-up or tail of a sample leaving only the impact.
- Stop – stop all voices from playing.
Effects
Every instrument has 10 effects available to it:
- Reverberation – A selection of Convolution Reverbs
- Delay
- EQ – 3 band EQ
- Saturation
- Compression
- Distortion
- Lo-Fi
- Filter – lo-pass, high-pass & band-pass filters
- Screamer

The Motion & Modulation Pages
The Motion Page
Keepforest have developed an engine that allows you to not only change rhythm pattern (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/4T, 1/8T, 1/16T, 1/32T) in rhythmic standard type of patches but also change the whole structure of the samples.
One of the problems in modern scoring sample instruments is that transformation from one rhythm pattern to another can lead to wrong dynamics. This is especially clearly seen when we need to shift the weak and strong beats of the loop.
Random Rhythms – Engine Feature
This allows you to randomly generate rhythmic patterns based on the selected sample. You can choose your own rhythm.
- The Rhythm Knob – allows you to set the type of rhythm.
- Steps Knob – allows you to set the number of random positions, the rhythmic pattern will be generated in that area.
- Glitch Switch – is required to enable glitch on randomly generated elements.
Sequencers
Evolution also features 4 independent sequencers: step sequencer, gate sequencer, pan control and filter control. Click on the sequencer you’d like to edit (SGPF) and use the on/off switches to activate/deactivate them.
- Table – this consists of vertical bars to set the velocity for each step.
- Left/Right buttons – move the whole sequence one step to the left/right.
- Reset, Save and Load buttons – all 4 sequencers with all settings can be saved and loaded as presets.
- Steps Control – click and drag up and down on this to change the number of steps.
- Gate Release – controls the release time of each step of the gate, and controls the time it takes to drop to the next quieter step.
- Arpeggiator – controls which held note to play for each step of step sequencer.
- Panning – these sliders control the panning for each step of step-sequencer.
The Modulation Page
The Modulation Page contains 2 modulations and controls for setting the modulation amounts for Volume and Pan modulations. The advantage of modulations over sequencers is the relative continuity of modulation transform functions.
Due to the fact that gate and pan sequencers may describe only highly discrete function we can achieve the smoothness of volume and pan transformations only through modulations. Plus, we are able to apply the modulations to taste by mixing it with the main signal
- Amount (MIX) – from 0% to 100%.
- Sync – sync to host’s tempo or not.
- Rate – 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/4T, 1/8T, 1/16T, 1/32T, 1/4D, 1/8D, 1/16D and 1/32D or [0.01HZ, 29.3HZ]
- SIN – sine waveform
- TRI – triangle waveform
- RECT – rectangle waveform
- SAW – saw waveform
- RND – random waveform

What People Think About 75% off “Evolution: Atlantica” by Keepforest
-
"Personally, I found all of the sounds to fit perfectly into the trailer music genre but they still have a character that feels cohesive to this library and unlike the other tools I’ve used before. I love the inclusion of the open WAV samples for simple drag and drop into my DAW as I’ve been called on to do more sound design with each gig I take. Evolution Atlantica is a solid workhorse library that features an all-in-one palette of samples that will fit in perfectly with any musical sound designer’s workflow."

"From a pure audio standpoint, Evolution Atlantica is very impressive. The depth and detail in the included sounds (specifically the “Inception Braaams”) is immense."
Sample Library Review
Music Industry Blog
-
"On top of the many excellent sounding trailer SFX, you’ll get both powerful hybrid orchestral low brass stabs as well as some raunchy electric bass and guitar patches. The selection of pre-designed synth sounds is great on its own, but the possibility to combine and stack them into your own custom patches really represents one of the library’s most interesting concepts. With its comprehensive and contemporary box of tools, Evolution: Atlantica will keep trailer music, film and game composers alike busy for a long time."

a modern classic from keep forest if your into hybrid action/sci fi scoring or epic trailer music this library is a must and at this price!!!
Jean-Marie – :
Evolution: Atlantica is another chapter of the Evolution serie, more modern and sci-fi oriented.
Perfect for epic and/or sci-fi tracks.
Great sound design and great deal !
C – :
Quality samples. Pulse creator is useful. Braams – well, what can I say! All round, excellent product. Sounds are more processed than Dragon. Perfect for trailer oomph. Got free versions of later products (i.e. Warzone and AiserX) but full version of this certainly adds extra options. People talk about sounds ‘dating’ but it’s nonsense really. Most sounds can be tweaked (re-sampled, stretched & added reverbs etc.) Unless you’ve been signed up for the next Hollywood blockbuster, this and Dragon are an absolute steal at discount and should be useful. For me at least, some of these sounds are still to the extreme of what I’d use but great fun.
Dan – :
I was so pleased when I saw this on offer from VST Buzz, as I was hunting for a sample set just like it for a project. Ironically, Evolution Atlantica’s flaw is its success. The sounds are so good, so comprehensive, and so popular that you’ll recognise them from trailers, films and games you’ve seen. That’s why it gets 9 stars from me instead of 10. Then again, these are the sorts of sounds people expect from a modern score so I see no harm in dropping some in for extra impact and emphasis. Brilliantly designed, both in terms of sound and UI.
Ruben – :
very deep and original sounds that are great for epic/soundscape/soundtrack productions 🙂 great software for a great price!
brett – :
These are some great sounds. Lot’s of material to choose from and all high quality. It’s a bit old, but very useful. Some of the sounds can be reproduced with synths, but it would take hours and hours to make some of the sounds, so this is easier! You can tweak the sounds, but only to a point.
Gregory – :
What a fantastic deal on a fantastic sound library! Evolution Atlantica covers all your bread and butter sounds and FX for trailers, film, TV and video games scoring. Cannot fault it.
Chris – :
This has turned out to be a good choice. Wondering if it was just typical trailer sounds, I’m pleased to find that it goes beyond that expectation. There are some pretty nice playable tonal instruments in addition to the great sounds the library is known for. And since modifications can be made to the many trailer sounds, there’s the ability to make them sound unique. Definitely a pretty great deal!
ed – :
This is my 2nd Keep forest library. These things are quite useful pretty much straight out of the box,.
D – :
I like the product, overall but I must say that had I paid full price for it, I would have been let down by the lack of quantity. The actual content is great by the amount of it…let’s just say there could be more. That said, I know that’s a far easier thing said than done and the discount on this collection puts it pretty much right on target.
Laurent – :
Top deal????????
Excellent product!
The library is wide and varied.
Very good effects and tools to have fun.
Lapis Sp. z o.o. – :
Not so many sounds/instruments (compare to other plugins this type), but the sound is perfect for strong, agressive pieces.
Toru – :
It’s a great instrument with a very exciting sound.
Just by playing the sound, the image of the production spreads.
