Review - New Sound Effects Rise & Impact Instrument Meteor By UVI

Boom - Our friends at UVI have just released a new rise & impact sound effects library for both UVI Workstation and Falcon instrument platforms called Meteor. Production Expert was given early access to Meteror in order to provide The Production Expert Communities with an exclusive video review.

What Is UVI Meteor?

UVI developer Meteor for Composers, Sound Designers & Musicians. It is, in essence, a creative instrument that features 600 customisable presets that delivers rich cinematic swells, epic crescendos and intense impacts. 7 layers make up the combined rise and impact sound. Meteor provides an extensive feature set within an intuitive GUI.

Exclusive Production Expert Review Of Meteor

In this exclusive Production Expert Video Review, we take UVI's latest instrument Meteor for a test drive. Watch the video to hear a selection of Meteor's presets and to see how to manipulate both rise and impact components. UVI say Meteor is for Composers and Sound Designers but we feel it's also a good tool for Music Producers. Meteor's vast sound library can be used to produce powerful electronic kick drum sounds as well as many other interesting sounds. Watch the review to hear how Meteor can be used without the Rise component to produce powerful kick drum samples.

UVI Meteor User Tips Not Featured In This Review

  1. The audio examples featured in this review were triggered by the same "pitched" note on the UVI Workstation Player keyboard. Users are advised to trigger Meteor sounds by triggering the yellow key in the centre of the keyboard at full velocity in order to achieve the fullest effect possible for each instrument preset
  2. The keyboard enables users to trigger a variety of pitched rise and impact sounds on the keyboard. Again, we only featured one pitch throughout our review examples.
  3. In our review, we highlighted a music production application that enables users to take advantage of Meteor's library as a kick drum engine. Meteor has a vast collection of sounds within the preset menu that extend this concept into brass and strings impact realms.
