Rust Vol II includes over 3,000 samples of more than 81 different type of metal “instruments” from giant aluminum poles to metal bathtubs, from slamming blast doors used as percussion instruments to massive Hercules (nuclear missile holders) metal racks, from creaking cell doors to metal objects without names, from massive metal stairs to slamming large tower rails. The library also includes a sick sample collection recorded at a sculpture park.
RRP: £53.95
Epic Tom Ensemble is a large multi-sample library dedicated to massive ensemble percussion. Tonehammer captured a variety of power articulations, using a combination of high-tuned 10″ – 14″ toms, roto-toms and octabans, various floor toms, bass drums and custom designed mega-toms. Perfect for raging battle scenes or when you just need a really loud boom.
Mini contains several thousand samples of anything from buttons to bowling toys, wooden branches to eating chips, boiling frying pans to human hoses, nail files to pocket watches, sand-drums to styrofoam, teeth clacks to water bubbles etc. The concept may seem strange at first, but these sounds have remarkable value in terms of composition and music, since the “click” covers a very specific sound and frequency spectrum.
RRP: £53.95
