Product Info
Dark, modern, ultra-cinematic
A composer’s dream (or nightmare) for epic trailers, horror, suspense, thrillers, powerful action, and any other musical styles calling for cutting-edge dark sound design. Contains over 14GB of content and nearly 1,500 unique instruments that add sinister energy to your productions.
11 categories of evocative, malevolent sounds
Designed by ten award-winning, apocalyptic sound designers, each patch is dedicated to a single thematic category: Booms, Braams, Downers, Hits & Impacts, Reverses, Risers, Whooshes, Drones, Pads, Pulses, and Soundscapes. A blend of both percussive and multisampled tonal sounds.
Drag-and-drop WAV files included
Want to edit, slice, cut, and mangle the samples further? An entire separate set of WAVs is included that can be loaded directly into your DAW or any sampler of your choice.
Powerful tweaking and morphing
Every instrument & sound is ready to play – or drop into your tracks – immediately. But for the malevolent tweakers, our user interface makes it very easy to make quick adjustments to every sound. Or use the built-in rhythm sequencer to create captivating volume, filter, pan, and pitch movement.

“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.”

Ben Prunty
FTL: Faster Than Light, Into the Breach, Subnautica: Below Zero
"I've been using ISW since 2015, and their instruments have shown up in Into the Breach and Subnautica Below Zero, and in nearly all of my solo albums. Shreddage helped me fill in the gaps around my own guitar performances. Super Audio Cart provided some great raw synth sounds for parts of Below Zero. Impact Soundworks is often the first place I go to when I'm shopping for a new project. Everything they make works and sounds great."

Neal Acree

"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!
