Details
From massive full-spectrum clangs and hits to surreal drones, Special Reserves: Hyper Metals goes beyond reality to a world of hyperrealistic steel and iron. Created from a blend of real recorded metals and carefully-crafted physical modeling synthesis, the library contains 13 multisampled ‘hit’ articulations along with 10 infinitely-sustaining drones, covering a wide range of low to high frequencies.
The library builds on the lineage of Impact Soundworks’ very first release, Impact: Steel, offering highly-playable, multisampled percussion that is excellent for pulsating rhythms and tension in scores & soundtracks. Composers can push its sound design further with one-knob sculpting to either help it blend more easily, take it to new heights of harmonic excitation, or morph the sound altogether.

Reviews
Testimonial – Jimmy ‘Big Giant Circles’ Hinson (Black Ops 4, Borderlands 2, Threes)
“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.”
