Native Instruments Erosia KONTAKT
Erosia is a cinematic sound design engine that listens closer than the ear can. Every texture begins with the smallest detail—a bow drawn across glass, a hinge under strain, ice cracking across metal. Captured intimately, these fragile moments expand into vast, cinematic landscapes, where friction becomes motion, decay becomes beauty, and the overlooked transforms into a powerful storytelling tool for composition and sound design.
Transformative Textures
-
Convert the raw mechanics of friction—scraping, bowing, and grinding—into living, dynamic soundscapes
-
Expand your sonic palette with over 200 meticulously captured textures, each recorded in microscopic detail
-
Discover reimagined instruments, from bowed piano strings to the shimmering resonance of a Cristal Baschet
The Voice of Materials
Erosia captures the subtle, tactile vibrations of objects at the intersection of material and friction. Using a combination of contact microphones and close-micing, it records both micro-movements and natural spatial resonance. From bowed glass and cracked pianos to rusted hinges and splintered wood, every sound embraces imperfection, creating a raw, organic voice for your cinematic compositions.
Inside the Engine
Erosia’s sound engine consists of four interactive layers:
-
Grain Layer: Fractures and animates textures for evolving soundscapes
-
Three Sampler/Wavetable Layers: Fully interchangeable, allowing for complex, living instruments
The intuitive Play and FX pages let you shape sounds quickly, while the Transform control evolves timbres dynamically, seamlessly navigating between tension, release, and decay.
