Impact Soundworks make detailed, emotive instruments. I’ve happily bought over two dozen of their libraries which should say everything. They get used every day.

"[ISW]'s instruments consistently deliver the sound, feel, and reliability I need to do my best work. Thank you for raising the bar and making tools that inspire."

"Impact Soundworks has some of the most creative and innovative libraries out there. From world instruments to the insanely deep sampled Shreddage guitar series the Impact catalog is full of must-haves and unexpected and inspiring surprises. Highly recommended!

"I'm a keyboard player -- I can't even make a REAL guitar sound convincing. But Telos and Rosette are my go-to guitars because they sound incredible, sit well in a mix and are so easy to configure to my personal playing habits. I'm constantly discovering new ways to play them and they've saved my ass more times than I can count. And the pedal Steel is still my favorite library of its kind for Country, Folk and organic layering behind synths."

"I never would have thought that sampled guitars could sound as good as ISW's do. The fact that I can use them to lay down a realistic solo is unprecedented. They’ve pushed the boundaries of realism."

Rosette Mandolin review
"The sound of the library is very pleasing...the more I used the library the more I felt I was learning how to write idiomatically for the instrument." "Rosette Mandolin provides a good sound that could have many applications, with versatile input options that cater to writing realistic mandolin lines, impossible 5+ note chords and everything in between."

"I'm a huge fan of the Ventus Winds series. They feature rare instruments deep-sampled to an incredibly high level of detail. It's so liberating to have such a wide range of articulations & phrases that perfectly capture the nuances and performance style of these instruments... from beautiful to haunting, celebratory to sorrowful. Each is expertly recorded and the sound quality is superb, sitting in the mix with ease. If you want to add authentic world winds to your palette, then look no further."

"ISW creates some of the most inspiring & realistic guitar sample libraries. I had to write a bunch of really gritty, angry heavy metal & sports action rock cues. I used Shreddage 3 Serpent for leads and was blown away by its onboard processing, programming, and amazing live-sounding leads. I also created a signature sound based on the lead guitar in David Lynch's Twin Peaks series, originally played on baritone guitar. [Serpent] built a convincing replica of that sound just using on-board FX. It was so fun and easy to do!"

Overview
Over-the-top hybrid orchestral brass with huge, super-processed acoustic sounds and 9 enormous (we might even say apocalyptic!) synth layers. An instantly huge “wall of brass” sound that’s perfect for film/TV/game and trailer scoring, or any context where power, not nuance, reigns supreme.
Product Info

“A big thanks to the team at Impact Soundworks for putting inspiration at my fingertips! Your sample libraries are in heavy use in my Orchestral, Rock and Pop templates, and always visible in my top-tier Cue-specific Kontakt. Layering your Shreddage libraries on top of my live guitar tracks creates so much depth, and I get so much out of so many of your other libraries – too many to name. A+ programming and sonic goodness gang!”

“Impact Soundworks’ libraries are truly in a league of their own. I’ve been a long time user for as long as I can remember and it would take me a whole other producing lifetime to build the depths of these libraries on my own. As a Kontakt enthusiast who owns just about every library out there I can confidently say that Impact Soundworks’ libraries stand in the top 1%, and that’s saying something! No snake oil here. Just meticulously assembled libraries that are overflowing with creative sound design options and inspiration igniting presets.”

Great music is all about dynamics, nuance, and subtlety. But sometimes it isn’t! For those times, we created Mega Brass. This over-the-top virtual instrument offers “wall of sound” super-processed orchestral brass that can cut straight through a mix, along with a set of 9 apocalyptic hyper-synths that can be mixed in to create the ultimate hybrid brass sound.
The ridiculously huge sound of Mega Brass is ideal for epic trailer music, but it also works in other styles where restrained, refined and subtle orchestral brass simply doesn’t cut it. For example, huge EDM swells, heavy metal backing tracks, or DNB breakdowns.
You will not find the traditional array of delicate tweaks and adjustments in this library. Instead, we give you easy tools for layering, mixing, and FX, along with three core articulations: sustain, marcato, and staccato. Most importantly, everything is very easy to use so you can herald the end of the world and send chills up your audience’s spine with just a single key press.
Reviews
Mega Brass – Sample Library Review
“The true potential of the library lies in it’s profound capability to sit in a mix with other brass libraries…The library would certainly fit the likes of a trailer composer over a film composer because of it’s intense, aggressive, and quite intrusive sound. Yet, the library brings something new that is different, but also similar to some of it’s recent competition.”
Ashton Gleckman (Sample Library Review)
Mega Brass – The Samplecast
“I found the sound was huge, especially when you start adding additional octaves which are easy to dial-in within the interface itself. Also, I enjoyed using the central hype knob to punish the sound and make it even fatter and more aggressive. The core brass and synth sounds are good, and I can imagine myself using this for hard-hitting trailer pieces.”
