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.”

Cosmos – Beat Magazine
“You’ll get an energetic collection of atmospheric and pulsating sounds with a futuristic, hybrid style, ideal for underscore and film music. But Cosmos can also work for other genres like chillout and ambient. The sampled material is multifaceted and inspiring, with gentle as well as biting sounds. There’s also a big plus for the straightforward and simple operation.” (5/6 Stars)

Shreddage 3 Precision FREE – Beat Magazine
“Thanks to multiple dynamic layers and round robins, Shreddage 3 Precision FREE produces realistic-sounding licks. Owners of the full version of Kontakt should definitely take this free replica of an electric p-bass with them.” (5.5/6 Stars)

Shreddage 3 Hydra – Beat Magazine
“Whether you’re looking for gripping distorted riffs or screaming solos, Shreddage 3 Hydra is an expressive, nuanced, and playable instrument that feels right at home with metal & rock music. However, it’s not just the distorted and hi-gain tones that are convincing. The clean tones are also excellent.” (6/6 Stars)

Artist Testimonial – Flexstyle
“Cyclops is an excellent one-stop shop for electronic music production. Has everything you need to get going, the sound design is quite good, and I’ve found several patches and sounds that I’ll be bookmarking for future use.”

Pedal Steel – KeyboardKraze
“This company puts out a product that is state of the art almost every time. Pedal Steel is an extremely playable pedal steel guitar… As far as the sound quality goes with Pedal Steel, I really believe it’s top-notch. There’s really not much to dislike here, other than the price is a little steep.”
Chris Senner (KeyboardKraze)
Pedal Steel – Sound on Sound
“The sampling itself is of a high quality… and the mixing and processing facilities are very good, so if you’re prepared to work on your playing technique and master the tools provided, this instrument is certainly worth a try.” (4/5 Stars)

Shreddage 3 Series – Sample Library Review
“Impact Soundworks have blown the lid off my DAW with Shreddage 3. This is the electric guitar library I have long been looking for. Whether you want a rocking rhythm guitarist, a wailing, screaming guitar soloist, or simply a tool for writing your own rhythm and solo guitar parts, Shreddage 3 fits the bill. You can easily write a full rock track with Shreddage 3 that sounds authentic and believable. It’s hard to ask for much more than that.”
Raborn Johnson (Sample Library Review)
Ventus Winds Duduk – Sound on Sound
“Upon loading Ventus Duduk in Kontakt the first impression users may get is that Impact Soundworks have packed quite a bit under the hood of such a modestly priced instrument… In the end we have a beautifully performed and playable duduk virtual instrument, with great customisability at a steal of a price.” (Sound On Sound)
Testimonial – Brennan Anderson (Marvel’s Avengers, Disney Emoji Blitz, Star Wars: Commander)
“Super Audio Cart is the perfect library to get those classic video game sounds, with all of the features to be able to modernize and create unique sounds that aren’t limited by classic hardware. Whether its for pixel art games, or making musical soundscapes reminiscent of arcades, this is my library of choice!”
Testimonial – Matt Guillory (James LaBrie, James Murphy, Explorers Club)
“The Shreddage virtual instrument series have bcome an essential tool in capturing my musical vision. I’ve been using them for years in my songwriting and pre-production. They’re very easy to use, offer tons of flexbility — and they sound great!”
