MB Gordy Percussion – Boobams – Future Music
“In many respects this is a pretty simple instrument, but its usefulness has been expanded by providing ensemble options (where hits are layered, and triggered with variable timing between hits) and the extensive effects and processing options. These are nicely demonstrated with the provided snapshots that extend its range into more unusual distorted or reverberant territory.”
Bruce Aisher (Future Music 401)
Water Piano – Future Music
“This might just sound like a gimmick, but with a single control a pleasant-sounding piano is transformed into its more muted and odder alter-echo. The lower registers transform into something akin to a palm-muted piano, whilst higher keys continue to ring out in a more conventional way.”
“The real winner for me here is the Freeze parameter which adds an infinitely sustaining granular/reverb layer to the ‘straight’ samples. Even better is that it’s also controlled by the amp envelope and sustain pedal allowing you to create playable slabs of ‘frozen’ piano that cut off between each chord. More conventional reverb can be added, and further processing on top this takes place in the Console page.”
“Water Piano is fun and flexible but also high usable.”

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)
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)
Rhapsody Orchestral Colors & Percussion – Designing Music Now
“If you are looking for an all in one complete orchestral sample library that won’t break the bank and still sound legitimate – look no further than Rhapsody Orchestral Colors and Rhapsody Orchestral Percussion. These libraries were recorded in the same hall so it makes mixing a breeze. Combined, these two libraries are a must-have for quick yet realistic-sounding orchestral compositions.” (Designing Music Now)
Bravura Scoring Brass – Original Sound Version
“After spending a good deal of time with all of the various instruments and features on Bravura Scoring Brass, I have to say I’m impressed. There are loads of options for customizing the sound of the ensembles or solo instruments, it’s simple to adjust parameters to create realistic performances, and the samples themselves are of top notch quality and are extremely versatile.” (Original Sound Version)
Bravura Scoring Brass – Sound On Sound
“Boasting a highly effective true legato mode for all instruments, the library is technically excellent, with deep programming facilities lurking beneath the bonnet. The instruments (which play a decent range of common articulations and aleatoric effects) sound very nice indeed: ‘opulent’ is the word that springs to mind.” (Sound On Sound)
Testimonial – Danny Baranowsky (Crypt of the NecroDancer, Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy)
“Super Audio Cart fills a niche in my chiptune arsenal that has been sorely lacking. The SNES-style patches sound so authentic, and the multi-chip patches bring usability and versatility I haven’t seen in a chiptune instrument before.”
Testimonial – Grant Kirkhope (Donkey Kong 64, GoldenEye, Banjo-Kazooie, Civilization: Beyond Earth)
“Super Audio Cart is without doubt the best plugin for all your chiptune needs, it’s got the lot and they’re all glorious! Having all these authentic sounds in one place is the best idea since someone said, ‘Let’s put a rap in Donkey Kong’ … oh wait.”
Testimonial – Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage, ActRaiser, Revenge of Shinobi, Etrian Odyssey)
“It’s extremely convenient to be able to create arrangements with such diverse sounds so quickly, just using MIDI. Of course, Super Audio Cart isn’t just for ‘retro’ sounds – it’s also very useful for modern music as well.”
Testimonial – Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears)
“Super Audio Cart is so much fun, and absolutely spot-on for simulating retro game sounds. This is absolutely a fantastic sample library for all game music fans.”
Sonic Forest – Producer Spot
“Today I found something very special. A library that is extremely creative, well-designed, affordable, and even for good cause. I’m talking about “Sonic Forest” by Impact Soundworks. This library is based on a one it’s a kind instrument, sampled with a lot of depth and precision to create a unique sound, but beyond that Sonic Forest has a lot more to offer. (ProducerSpot.com)
