Pedal Steel – Synth & Software
“…Impact Soundworks takes exacting measures to engage the instrument’s characteristic quirks in ways that allow keyboardists to easily sidestep some of its hurdles…this sample library achieves the sound and performance of a bona fide pedal steel guitar with Nashville tuning. Furthermore, it does it far better than any synth emulation I’ve heard. Impact Soundworks Pedal Steel is the library to beat.”

Ventus Winds: Shakuhachi – macProVideo.com
“Excellent rendition of this classic Eastern instrument. Very deeply sampled library with multiple Mic position, plus the unique TACT technology for phrasing…If you are working on ethnic pieces that focus on the East this is definitely an instrument to add to your toolbox, or it even fits in well with cinematic pieces like film trailers and such….The Ventus Shakuhachi is a super rendition of this classic instrument. It has been sampled with great detail, and making use of the features such as the flutter, dynamics and ornaments can really bring out the character of the instrument.”

Shreddage 3 Stratus – SoundBytes Magazine
“The effects work well and sound great, and you can easily get along without a separate guitar amp plugin. Right out of the box you’re able to get a convincing distortion and cabinet sound and many other effects. The strumming options are very useful and add to the versatility and realism that this product offers…. Stratus is a very powerful guitar sample library with several goodies under the hood. From its awesome clean tone to its many useful articulations and effects, I doubt you’ll be wishing for anything more.”
Rob Mitchell (SoundBytes Magazine)
ReForged – Sounds And Gear
“There may come a time when you need something a little different from the norm, no matter if you’re trying to score your next trailer, video game, or add some unique elements to your music tracks, ReForged definitely provides a great collection of content that can be used equally as percussive or tonal elements.”

Pearl Concert Grand – Simeon Amburgey
“It’s really interesting how different libraries can fit into different roles, and I’m just loving the way that Pearl just really has such a presence, and it kind of cuts through…it can be really bright, and then it can just be really nice and big and intimate and full, which I really, really appreciate about this library.”

Ventus Winds: Tin Whistle – The Samplecast
“The versatility of this instrument and realism of the vibrato and ornaments mean it’s incredibly useable and really, really versatile. Once you to grips with how it works, this is probably the only tin whistle library you’ll ever need. It’s definitely recommended by me.”
