Details
Heritage Percussion captures the energy of live performance with 13 hand percussion instruments from around the world. This detailed collection is perfect for acoustic applications but versatile enough to add folk-inspired texture anywhere you need it. Instruments include:
- Half-gourd and double-sided shakers
- Small and large claves
- Small, medium, and large rattles
- Cowbell, cork drum, djembe
- Cabasa, beaded and cork rattles
Each drum has 10x round robin variations and 5x dynamic layers, making it simple for you to perform or sequence lively, expressive “aux” rhythm parts.
We’ve also revamped the Kontakt engine behind our percussion instruments. Heritage Percussion is the first library to debut this beautiful, inspiring new UI that allows for both easy editing and in-depth tweaks. Using our new drum engine, you’re able to individually adjust each drum’s tone, envelope, pitch, and mapping to suit your workflow.
Plus, with our newly-improved CONSOLE FX rack & mixer (more info below), you can create the perfect mix — complete with EQ, reverb, compression, and spatial effects — without using any external plugins!
Console: Modular FX Rack and Mixer
Now upgraded for Kontakt 6.4, Console is our new mixer, modular effects rack, and pedal board, designed to give you full control over your instrument tone. Console gives you 35 effects modules to choose from!
These include multiple EQs (digital and analog-style), compressors, spatial FX, modulation FX, amps, distortion pedals, reverbs, and a selection of over 30 custom cabinet IRs! These cabs cover all the most important sounds you would want, with both dynamic & condenser mics in multiple positions plus a ribbon mic for certain models.

Reviews
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.”
