Overview
Saga 2: Organic Alien Percussion is a vast collection of bizarre & unique percussion instruments created by alien civilizations and recorded on location by 8 of our bravest sound explorers. There’s nothing electronic or robotic here – only instruments made from organic materials from other planets, crafted by our galactic neighbors. Although the 194 instruments found here are unlike anything ever heard before here on Earth, we’ve organized them into 6 familiar categories our composers can more easily grasp – Auxiliary, Cymbals & Gongs, Large Drums, Medium Drums, Small Drums, and Tonal Percussion. We hope these new sounds astound, inspire, and provide fresh alternatives for your sonic palette.

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 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!

"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!"
OK, what did we REALLY do? For our most ambitious sound design library to date, we created a massive template comprising every percussion instrument from Red Room Audio’s extensive collection, as well as hundreds of new field and found instrument recordings. We painstakingly lined up every round robin sample and dynamic layer, and then creatively twisted, layered, morphed and sculpted each one to create re-imagined, otherworldly instruments you’ve never heard before.
This multi-sampled approach is what makes Saga 2 unique, as these are not just a series of one-shot sound designs. These are extremely rich, organic and playable instruments you can slot right alongside traditional percussion to add a unique twist to your compositions.
