Description:

Erosia transforms the raw mechanics of friction—scraping, bowing, grinding—into evolving cinematic textures. Explore an eclectic collection of microscopic sound details, from bowed piano strings to shimmering Cristal Baschet tones. With over 200 reimagined instrument presets, Erosia expands your palette into new emotional and sonic territories.

Metamorphosis of Sound:

Erosia listens closer than the human ear. Small moments—a bow across glass, ice cracking on metal, a hinge under stress—become vast, expressive soundscapes. Friction turns into movement, decay becomes beauty, and overlooked sounds evolve into powerful storytelling tools.

The Voice of Materials:

Using contact mics and traditional close-micing, Erosia captures both tactile internal vibrations and natural resonance. Bowed glass, rusted hinges, splintered wood, cracked pianos, and metal under pressure reveal hidden textures. Imperfection becomes character.

Inside the Engine:

The core consists of four layers: one Grain layer for fractured motion, plus three interchangeable Sampler or Wavetable layers. A streamlined Play and FX interface makes shaping sound immediate and intuitive. The Transform control morphs timbre between tension, release, and decay.

From Sound to Story:

Granular motion, sampler detail, and wavetable growth blend into evolving instruments. The Modulation page provides LFOs, envelopes, and sequencers for deep animation. Small textures can unravel into storms, drones, pulses, or evolving atmospheres—each sound carries narrative potential.

Control Keyboard Integration:

Erosia integrates seamlessly with NI Control keyboards for hands-on expressive shaping, snapshot browsing, and real-time timbre control.
