zircon Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Today, Impact Soundworks released our first ever symphonic library. Rhapsody: Orchestral Percussion is designed to be a comprehensive swiss army knife for orchestral percussion in any style. I've been using it as my go-to library for months now, and I'm very excited now that it's finally released. Check out the details below: Rhapsody is RELEASED! Click here to get it!Impact Soundworks is thrilled to release our flagship symphonic library, RHAPSODY: Orchestral Percussion. This exquisite virtual instrument covers both the essential canon of symphonic percussive instruments, like snares, bass drum, cymbals, timpani, xylophone, tubular bells, triangle, etc., and a full compliment of aux percussion such as bongo, conga, cajon, djembe, crotales, anvil, sleigh bells, and more. The library is provided with three user-blendable mic positions: close, stage, and hall. Unlike many existing percussion libraries, our close mics are exceptionally dry (with just a hint of air), allowing for maximum versatility when blending with other libraries or customizing with your own reverb. Stage and hall mics offer natural, but not overwhelming, reverb from the beautiful hall. Our philosophy with Rhapody: Orchestral Percussion is to provide a versatile and expansive collection of percussive instruments, sampled with our signature depth, that is equally suitable for both "epic" scoring as well as more intimate pieces, classical mockups, hybrid tracks, and everything in between. Flexibility is the name of the game! Pricing information will be available soon - as always, our goal is to provide an exceptional value for the working composer.

zircon Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Besides a brand-new full walkthrough showing each and every instrument, we're now offering an ESSENTIALS version of the library. This has two mics (close + hall), 16 bit samples, and about half the instruments of the full library - all the core stuff, like bass drum, two snares, cymbals, aux perc, timpani, etc - for only $89. http://impactsoundworks.com/rhapsody-orchestral-percussion/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chernabogue Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Why do you have to release such a beauty now that I have spend half of all my economies in University fees and stuff?? Guess I'll save what I can to try it later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Just wanted to note something: Snare Ensemble seems to be marked not available in Essentials on the site while Ride Cymbal Stick is marked available, but in the list of available patches in the Essentials manual, Snare Ensemble is listed while Ride Cymbal Stick is not.
