Drone is a new texture and atmosphere designer from UVI. The instrument comes with dual sample layering and UVi‘s granular engine with controls for an XY animator.
UVI created Drone for users to create powerful and evolving soundscapes, shimmering atmospheres, rich expressive pads and more.
The samples were recording at 96 kHz and delivered as 48 kHz lossless FLAC inside the engine with the inclusion of both stereo and surround. There is also a collection of samples created for the instrument by sound designer Nicolas Becker (Gravity, Arrival, Ex-Machina).
In this first look, I check out a selection of presets from UVI‘s new Drone FX instrument and have a go at building a preset of my own.
