MB Gordy Percussion – Boobams – Sample Library Review
“I’m loving the instrument. It’s melodic percussion, but it really does kinda take it out somewhere real special with the console and the fx chains you can use; the snapshots are really great. And of course, this is the first time this instrument’s been recorded, and it is a secret weapon.”
Don Bodin (Sample Library Review)
GameVerb – Happy Mag
“GameVerb captures the distinctive ambience of classic consoles, offering reverb modes inspired by the SNES, N64 and PlayStation. Each delivers its own space, from clean 16-bit reflections to lo-fi grit with nostalgic charm.
[T]he interface is straightforward, and Geek Mode opens extra parameters for precise tweaking. GameVerb is equal parts fun and functional, ideal for producers and sound designers who want character over realism. It delivers that unmistakable ambience of classic gaming without any fuss.”
Chro-Nyx – Composing Gloves
“It sounds awesome. It sounds really, really good. I am a big fan.
I love how the signal flow is given to you right here, so you can just reference it. That is so handy; just not having to go to a manual. But that’s just a little thing. The sound is what matters. And the sound is fantastic.
I’m not at a shortage for inspiration here, and it’s very easy to find what I want to do to change the sounds. Definitely worth some more deep dives into some of these additional settings, just so I’m more comfortable where things are at. But really, really nice sound.”

Hammer Klavier – Simeon Amburgey
“It is like the boldness and creativity of the sample developers, they’re just going all in and taking us into some very uncharted territory, and unheard territory […] see, it’s just very beautiful, but it can get really crazy too.”

Pedal Steel – HIFIMIDI
“In my opinion, this is truly a wonderful instrument. The Pedal Steel has a very mystical and Eastern-quality because of its nasal timbre, and ability to produce microtones. It’s a complex instrument, and I think considering how difficult it would be to script it, with all it’s nuances and rules, Impact SoundWorks did an incredible job bringing it to life. This is a must-buy product.”

Celestia: Heavenly Sound Design – Sounds and Gear
“Look, if you dig ambient sounds and love atmospheres, pads, and things on the the softer side of the audio spectrum like myself, then you owe it to yourself to consider checking this out. Anyone that’s been around here for any amount of time know’s I’m a sucker for ambient pads and atmospheric instruments, so this is a library I’ve been wanting to show you for a while. I’m glad I finally got some time to showcase it because I think it’s very well done and will please anyone into ambient, electronica, new age, chillout, or even pop and rnb production.” (4.5/5)

Allura, Volume 1 – Sample Library Review
“Very simple, straight ahead, but I really like the sound design of all of these pads that are included. I think [the] phrases are really the king of the king for the library.”

Juggernaut – Sample Library Review
“I have to say, this library contains some really great, bombastic hybrid sounds; the kind of stuff you would expect from trailer tracks… It remains a very fresh, very stylized collection of dark, cinematic effects.”

Fredonia Grand Organ – Synthsonic
“Fredonia Grand Organ is capable of producing a wide range of pipe organ sounds, from the magnificent scale of cinematic sounds to the soft and warm sounds used in churches. And even though the sound is massive and organic, it’s capable of a considerable breadth of musical styles… With so many possibilities, the capabilities of this virtual instrument are truly vast. It’s not just a “pipe-organ-like” sound. This library is truly a genuine, authentic pipe organ.”

Artist Testimonial – LMan
“If you’re looking for authentic analogue SID sound for your DAW, make no mistake – this is the only plugin on the market doing it right. Creating patches for inSIDious was a joyride indeed. If you’re familiar with the real SID chip, you’ll feel instantly at home with this soft synth. But even if you’re not, the user interface is straight forward tidy and user-friendly. However, inSIDious offers more than familiar oldschool flavours, this beast is highly usable for creating all kinds of modern, unusual sounds.”

Artist Testimonial – Chris Huelsbeck
“This is a very authentic SID feature and sound emulation!”

Artist Testimonial – Martin Galway
“I can tell you this is the most accurate-sounding SID software synthesizer you will ever hear… I basically believed I was working with a Commodore 64 via some incredible new graphical interface. InSIDious allows me to create gigantic arrangements in perfect sync.”
Martin Galway (Composer, Rastan, Wizball, Arkanoid, Comic Bakery (and many more))
Shreddage 3 Stratus – Beat Magazine
“For either lively rhythm performances or expressive solos, Shreddage 3 Stratus impressively captures the versatile and characteristic sound of the Fender Stratocaster. This instrument is excellent for a variety of genres such as rock, metal, funk, or soul. Though it already sounds good with the integrated effects, it becomes really authentic with a high-quality external amp sim. The appealing interface makes this powerful Kontakt instrument comfortable and intuitive to use.” (6/6 Stars)
