Overview
Saga 2: Organic Alien Percussion is a vast collection of bizarre and unique percussion instruments that sound like they could have been created by alien civilizations. 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 not quite like anything ever heard before here on Earth, we’ve organized them into 6 familiar categories – 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.

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.

"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."

"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."
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.
