Instruments from ISW are a staple of my soundtrack work for games. Vocalisa has been a mainstay vocal aesthetic of nearly every game I've worked on including Celeste & Chicory: A Colorful Tale. Shreddage 3 has also given me the confidence to write some really fun guitar riffs & solos despite not being able to play a real one. I've started incorporating Tokyo Scoring Strings into the acoustic side of my scoring work, and can't wait to try out more from ISW in the future!

"Impact Soundworks creates easy-to-use, great-sounding virtual instruments right out of the box. Highland Harps, Emotional Mallets, and Shreddage 3 are in my daily toolkit."

"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."
The Palette: Primary Colors collection is a small and easy-to-use taste of Palette Orchestra Complete. Recorded in a dedicated hall with world-reknowned performers, it delivers world-class sound while making it as fast and simple as possible to get an authentic, realistic result.
Naturally, you can use Palette: Primary Colors for everything from epic and dramatic soundtracks to intimate chamber pieces, soaring themes, tense underscore, and chilling atmospheres. However, it can work just as well in pop, rock, metal, or in any track where you need fantastic orchestral sounds without spending a ton of time on tweaking and programming.
With Strings, Brass and Woodwinds sections all included, along with a lush room sound without too much ambience (1.2s reverb tail), essential articulations, 3 dynamic layers and up to 7x round robins, this is truly a one-stop shop for your next orchestral production.
With our players in standard seating position across the stage we recorded the full range of each ensemble in unison, from lowest to highest note. Instruments play together when their ranges overlap and drop out when they reach their limits. We’ve dubbed this approach “True Ensemble Recording.” The result is a rich, playable patch that’s natural and full of life – instantly gratifying and perfect for quickly laying down ideas without sacrificing realism.
