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!

“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.”

"Impact Soundworks' range of guitars and fretted instruments sound amazing and are crafted and nuanced with expert detail. Intuitively set up to get straight to composing. And I have a real soft spot for the juicy, screaming Shreddage 3 Hydra!"
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.
