This library was performed, recorded, designed, and produced by Wilbert Roget, II.

I wanted to fill a gap I'd found in popular commercial sound libraries - several other products have metal hits and "found" percussion, but none are extensively sampled and usable as individual instruments. My goal therefore was to create a unique, detailed and playable library with the same amount of multisampled detail one would expect from a high end percussion bank.

There are 6 main patches, 8 special/alternately-mapped patches, and 16 FX patches in all, totaling 73 articulations of extensively multisampled hits, scrapes, rolls, and designed textures. The instruments were recorded in a medium-sized recording booth, insulated yet retaining some ambience and "air" in the samples; this facilitates mixing for small ensembles and rooms as well as large orchestral forces.

All samples are 24-bit, stereo, 44.1 kHz.

Now available in Kontakt 2, Kontakt 1, Gigastudio 3 and Halion 3 formats!
