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.”

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)
Shreddage Bass: Picked Edition – Waveformless
“As with their previous libraries, Impact Soundworks has done a bang-up job with Shreddage Bass: Picked Edition. The recordings are pristine, the matching between samples is perfect, and, provided you take a realistic playing technique to mind, it sounds uncannily real in use. One of the things I find especially appealing about these samples is that the tone is a sort of perfect neutral starting point. […] It’s hard to think of a style these samples wouldn’t work in. […] If you’re looking for a good, flexible library of electric bass sounds, this would be a great place to start! (10/10)” Tom Shear (Waveformless)
