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.”

Testimonial – Jimmy ‘Big Giant Circles’ Hinson (Black Ops 4, Borderlands 2, Threes)
“Between Shreddage, Super Audio Cart, Juggernaut, and Mega Brass I don’t remember the last time I haven’t used an Impact Soundworks instrument in a track. The attention to detail is astonishing and it’s all so easy to use out of the box, which is a big deal.”
Testimonial – Will Morton (Grand Theft Auto V, L.A. Noire, Red Dead Redemption)
“Allura is fantastic, it is so much more than a selection of samples. It puts me as close to being in the studio directing the vocalist as I can imagine.”
Shreddage 3 Stratus – Professionalcomposers.com
“… what’s really impressive is that it does not only do rhythm guitar and arpeggios well: it actually can pull off amazing lead guitar sounds too, with vibrato, bends, hammer-ons, and all that so important expression! … With Shreddage 3 you can really do all styles of electric guitar performances. And if you spend some time adding expression and performance style variation, you can end up with a truly authentic sounding electric guitar performance in your music production.” (professionalcomposers.com)
Peak Rider 2 – Sound On Sound
“It takes a while to get your head around all the options, but what can be achieved is worth the effort, as this plug-in covers a lot of dynamic processing ground. There’s no doubt that this is an extremely powerful plug-in that’s designed to stay with you for the long haul.” (Sound On Sound)
Super Audio Cart – ANR
“Super Audio Cart is a Kontakt-based virtual instrument that is a tribute to the golden age of video gaming. If your next sound design project requires some 8-bit treatments, now you know where to find a quality source.” (Audio News Room)
Ventus Shakuhachi – Original Sound Version
“Ventus Series: Shakuhachi delivers a clear and lifelike performance of the instrument and there are plenty of options for customizing various aspects of the sound. The ornaments feature allows for more spontaneous sounding performances that reflect the strengths of the Shakuhachi’s idiomatic sound. Inclusion of a phrase library offers additional sounds to either enhance existing performances of the main instrument or for use as one shot effects or sound design.” (Original Sound Version)
Sonic Forest – Sound On Sound
“Sonic Forest would be a good addition to any ethnic or world collection. Factor in the stunning granular engine, the giveaway price of $20 (25 percent of which is donated to charity) and I can’t think of one reason not to snap it up!.” (Sound On Sound)
Sonic Forest – Sounds and Gear
“I love when companies do this quirky experimental instruments, it breaks up to standard sounds and ideas we are used to and sparks your imagination in a new direction. I dig the interface a lot, it’s simple but useful, and actually powerful in terms of all that you can do do the sound. I say just go grab a copy, seriously, it’s 20 bucks and well worth more in my opinion.”
JK Swopes (Sounds and Gear)
Super Audio Cart – Producer Spot
“To me it is absolute heaven, it inspires me, and reminds me of all my favorite games from my youth. It also successfully closes the gap between old-school sound, and modern technology. With “Super Audio Cart” you can go as crossover, or as authentic as you want.” (ProducerSpot.com)
Super Audio Cart – Original Sound Version
“If you’re looking for a simple way to incorporate the authentic retro sounds of early game consoles in your music, Super Audio Cart delivers that and much more. It’s a fantastic library that I’d highly recommend to anyone who wants to create music with these iconic sounds.” (Original Sound Version)
