"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'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."

"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."
Ventus Native American Flutes is the seventh entry into our highly acclaimed series of deep-sampled woodwinds and flutes from all over the world. This collection includes three distinct, traditional Native American flutes, each handcrafted in the historic town of Patagonia among majestic mountains.
The sounds of each flute – the Red Tail Hawk, Pocket Cedar, and Contra Bass – are evocative, meditative, and soothing in tone. You’ll find them immediately inspiring, with lovely melodic voices, and individually distinct pitch ranges. They’re highly suitable for solo playing (particularly with a bit of spacious reverb) but work equally well alongside ensembles, in genres ranging from jazz and New Age to film scores and ambient soundscapes.
With our latest Agility script engine, it’s easier than ever to achieve a sonorous and expressive performance using only your MIDI controller or piano roll. You can automatically trigger ornaments without lifting a finger, or create custom articulation mapping to suit any DAW or workflow. Plus, you don’t even need external FX thanks to the powerful Console script providing dozens of FX modules at your fingertips.
If you’re on a deadline, you can create authentic, realistic parts using the library’s extensive phrase collection with hundreds of categorized phrases for each flute. Use them in our Kontakt engine, or as WAVs directly in your DAW for further processing. These are a great way to immediately establish atmosphere and tone.
In creating this library, we’ve sought to respect and capture the authenticity of these beautiful instruments to the highest degree possible. We hope you’ll enjoy them!
Ventus Native American Flutes includes our custom TACT engine, allowing you to customize how all articulations are mapped and triggered! Everyone has their own preferences for how to perform or write for virtual instruments, and with TACT you can create the perfect setup for your DAW.
Console is our mixer and modular effects rack, designed to give you full control over your virtual instrument tone with 30 effects modules to choose from! Using Console, you can easily save and load FX chains or presets between projects or even different Impact Soundworks products.

“I’m a huge fan of the Ventus Winds series. They feature rare instruments deep-sampled to an incredibly high level of detail. It’s so liberating to have such a wide range of articulations & phrases that perfectly capture the nuances and performance style of these instruments… from beautiful to haunting, celebratory to sorrowful. Each is expertly recorded and the sound quality is superb, sitting in the mix with ease. If you want to add authentic world winds to your palette, then look no further.”
