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.”

Saga: Acoustic Trailer Percussion – Sound on Sound
“If action and thriller soundtracks are your thing, then Red Room Audio’s Saga Acoustic Trailer Percussion more than holds its own. It is also competitively priced so you don’t need a Hollywood budget to get on board. If your palette of cinematic drum and percussion sounds needs expanding, Saga Acoustic Trailer Percussion is well worth auditioning”
-John Walden (Sound on Sound)
Cue Builders: Cinematic Rhythms – KK-Access
“This is actually a rather rare occasion where my fingers are unable to type any genuine words of criticism, basically if the style of rhythms and sounds included in CUE BUILDERS CINEMATIC RHYTHMS fit in with your music needs, then it’s a great addition to your library collection and musical palette!”
-Chris Ankin (KK-Access)
Cue Builders: Cinematic Rhythms – Sample Library Review
“Need to add world beats or epic rhythms in a time-crunch? You gotta check out Red Room Audio’s new Cue Builder library for Kontakt.

Palette Series – Making Music
“The Palette series so far is a superbly integrated set of orchestral samples. Red Room Audio’s splash into orchestral sample libraries shows it’s a company with strong ideas about what an orchestral library should contain and without doubt it’s off to a very impressive start.”

Palette Series – Professionalcomposers.com
“Palette Orchestral series was a huge and wonderful surprise for me. Don’t get me wrong, I knew it was good…but I had no idea it would be THIS good. I honestly feel that this is one of the absolute top collections for composers of Orchestral & Cinematic Music. It covers the foundation with Symphonic Sketchpad, adds the lyrical aspect with Palette Melodics, the flare and flow with Palette Runs & Arps, and the final touch with Orchestral FX.”
Palette Orchestra Complete – Beat Magazine
“With a harmonious selection of ensembles and additional instruments, Symphonic Sketchpad is an excellent foundation for orchestral compositions. For composers who already own other orchestral libraries the collection is an inspiring tool for broad strokes thanks to its great sound and intuitive operation.”
Palette Orchestra Complete – Epicomposer.com
“Palette – Symphonic Sketchpad really offers a unique and overarching collection of orchestral instruments. If you are looking for a tool with a wide range of musical possibilities that focuses on modern epic orchestral arrangements and provides extensive effects as well as a careful selection of additional sound design and synth patches, this library could be just the right thing for you.”

Palette Orchestra Complete – Sample Library Review
“It is very bold for a new developer to come on to the scene with 4 new orchestral sample libraries for Kontakt, but that is exactly how Red Room Audio has entered the game. The developer’s flagship libraries cover a very nice range of scoring tools with orchestral sections, legato instruments, orchestral effects, choirs, runs and even a nice set of trailer Brahms and synths. If you’re looking for an affordable set of orchestral tools or a shortcut to “get everything in the same room” I highly recommend you check out what Red Room Audio’s Palette line of orchestral instruments for Kontakt have to offer.”

Palette Orchestra Complete – Making Music
“Symphonic Sketchpad’s core Strings, Brass and Woodwinds are superb and evocative patches which lend themselves to ensemble score creation. The overriding feeling is that all the instrument sounds fit together extremely well – as you might expect coming from the same company and being recorded in the same hall. But it’s not just the ambience, it’s the tonal quality which has a cohesive quality so you know whatever combination of instruments and sounds you use in your composition, they will all work together with the minimum of hassle. Many media composers tend to use ensembles both for speed and ease of composition, and Symphonic Sketchpad provides the essential ensembles you need for many orchestral scenarios at a mid price range for an all-in-one orchestra.”
