Native Instruments – Erosia

🎶 Erosia – Cinematic Sound Design Redefined

✨ Transformative Textures
Erosia transforms the raw mechanics of friction—scraping, bowing, grinding—into breathtaking cinematic soundscapes. Expand your sonic palette with an eclectic collection of textures captured in microscopic detail. From bowed piano strings 🎹 to the shimmering resonance of a Cristal Baschet 🌌, discover reimagined instruments that inspire creativity.

🌊 Metamorphosis of Sound
Erosia listens closer than the ear can. Each texture begins with fragile details—a bow drawn across glass, a hinge under strain, or ice cracking on metal. These moments evolve into expansive cinematic landscapes, where friction becomes motion, decay becomes beauty, and overlooked sounds turn into powerful storytelling tools for composers and sound designers.

🔊 The Voice of Materials
Erosia captures the essence of material and friction using contact microphones and close-mic techniques. From bowed glass 🪞 and rusted hinges ⚙️ to cracked pianos 🎹 and splintered wood 🌲, every sound embraces imperfection. Hear ice crackling across cymbals or glass vases under tension—textures that feel raw, tactile, and alive.

⚡ Inside the Engine
At Erosia’s core lie four powerful layers:

• 🎛️ Grain Layer – fractures and animates textures

• 🎚️ Three Sampler/Wavetable Layers – create organic, unpredictable instruments

With streamlined Play & FX pages, intuitive controls, and the Transform knob, shaping sound becomes effortless—moving seamlessly between tension, release, and decay.

🌌 From Sound to Story
Erosia fuses sampler realism, granular motion, and wavetable bloom into one evolving instrument. Animate with LFOs, envelopes, and sequencers to fracture, stretch, and morph sounds. A metal hinge can unravel into a storm ⛈️, a glass resonance can become an endless drone 🌫️—every sound is a story waiting to unfold.

🎹 Kontrol Keyboard Integration
Seamlessly integrated with Kontrol keyboards, Erosia offers expressive hands-on control over snapshots, timbre evolution, and performance shaping—bringing cinematic sound design to life at your fingertips.
