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.

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.

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.

“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 software is an absolute mainstay in my work when it comes to Video Game and Anime-inspired tracks! The amount of ease and wonderful sounds these plugins offer allows me to get straight into writing and brainstorming."
