I'm in need of more action, epic drum (percussion) loop libraries, the way Damage 2 is doing it with their "loop designer" patch or the Trinity drums library. What other libraries are out there that work in a similar way? Preferably with lots of taikos as well since it will mostly be needed for...

Hey! Im looking for some nice percussion vst, that works well with more ethnic,orchestral and medieval fantasy music. Most percussion instruments seem to be more epic based like damage and action strikes, and im looking for something more lighter sounding. And another thing i would really like...

Hi, I'm looking for good Epic Percussion / Drums loops library for live purpose that I will trigger with midi pads controller. I need the libraries to be able to sync with my Daw. Thanks for help. Dan

As the title says, look for percussion recommendations I quite like 8dio epic dhol ens as an example I'm pretty out of the loop re percussion libs

“EDM Expanse” is an electrifying sample pack created by Smokey Loops, designed to bring energy and excitement to your EDM productions. This pack is filled with a vast array of high-quality sounds, including 5 Construction Kits, Drum Loops, Bass Loops, Drop Loops, Vocal Loops, and many more. The...

I'm hobbyist who is looking for deep/organic/natural sounding epic percussion ensemble library. Not interested in electronic stuff, trailer hits, industrial sounds, loop libraries (PercX for example) etc. I currently own "opposite" library of what I need and that is Cerberus, which is very...

They’re not layered loops exactly, they’re single hits, but there‘s a sequencer built into the instrument that you can use to make patterns/loops, and the nice thing about this is you can tweak it. And it adapts to your tempo without time stretching artifacts you’d get in a recorded loop. There...

Well… those loops in Damage 2 are more geared towards „epic“, „hard hitting“. And I‘m searching for more subtle/quiet loops. Master Sessions and Deep Percussion Beds are more on the epic side of things too.

In this case I suggest Apocalypse Percussion Elements from Soundiron. At the moment for sale for 64 dollars

I have to admit I’m more looking for easy than super deep and powerful. I know that the heavyocity model of press a button and it plays a layered beat is probably frowned upon by a lot of composers, but I’m looking for a fast way to lay down a complex and beat that can be easily manipulated -...

C Glad I could help you just wanted to ask though how do you identfity chord progressions in a song. That's my main problem as I cant do it that well. What I usually do is I use other software to find the key and also look at those synthesia tutorials on youtube to identify notes or chords I...

Hi All, So, I printed out all the feedback above, and went through and methodically ticked off each and every bit of advice. I can't tell you how much I appreciate folk of your calibre giving me in depth feedback and advice like this, it's mind-blowing, so generous and kind of you. Brief...

1. mf-ff, larger sections. In my opinion, the best one. 2. p-mp orch, some interesting warm brass choices. 3. f-ff, aggressive orch shorts, lots of epic perc. Only one with no choir and no longs. 4. p-ff, chamber-sized strings, blended instruments combinations. To some extent, they all have a...

...amazing. And it's basically still in pre-release form - can't wait for the final version! For me, the best bargain of this BF season is Sonuscore's Trinity Drums for just €10. If you want a flexible and an easy-to-use epic percussion loop library, this one simply can't be beat at this price.

Check out Pacific Perc. The intro pricing has just been announced and is made by the same guy as LAMP, but with traditional mapping. Of everything you listed there, LAMP and Pacific have the most organic sound, as well as HZPerc.

Great response, I appreciate it. I already have orchestral so so percussion with BBCSO Core and Nucleus, I am looking to add a more cinematic sound which I think your recommendations for Hammers/Damage 2 would fulfill I think. I am very week in the effects/processor side and my mixing and...

whoa this ended up long Audio Ollie's RCD Acoustic is $70 for the time being (AND TASTE for $3! Absolutely you must get this trust me), pretty amazing library for rhythmic deep-sampled guitar (bowing, slapping, picking etc). This while it's on introductory sale, and Damage 2 or Hammers on Black...

I also like the dynamic sequencer in D2, it's quite clever... but I wind up not using that part of it very often because I just use either note-repeat on the MPC pad, which controls dynamics with pressure on the pads, or else I use an arpeggiator inside Logic which has mod wheel > dynamics...

I remember rocking EW and Big Fish Audio Loop CDs and drag n' dropping them into a mix just to have epic percussion in my compositions- dreaming of a day when I could press a button on a keyboard and have it sound like an actual Timpani or Taiko! (Not a synth Timp) Now look how far we are? Today...

No, I do not see the "pack" in the update. Looks like a way to get existing owners to spend $19. I finally got a chance to try the new update and I was a bit underwhelmed. The multis open up in a way that I would call "inconsistent". So, some of them are expanded, others collapsed, some muted...

Probably start with D2 and work toward the others as needed, depending on your flavor of epic and the kind of workflow you want. DAMAGE 2 Damage 2 covers a huge variety of needs and will serve you well for a variety of styles and sounds. It has tons of options too for sound and control. It has...

I just got today the epic guitar. Its nice, good quality but sooo limiting as it's all about loops. Also you can change the note but it doesn't sound realistic depending on the note and loop. Anyway it's really nice for getting ideas for guitar riffs. I'll check the percussion sales and that...

I think it sounds great, but I have not used it much for what I write.

Review of Cue Builders Cinematic Rhythms – a New Percussion Builder by Red Room Audio https://www.strongmocha.com/2019/10/23/review-of-cue-builders-cinematic-rhythms-a-new-percussion-builder-by-red-room-audio/ Cue Builders Cinematic Rhythms Review In today’s review, we are looking at Cue...

Would you recommend Deep Percussion Beds Bundle over Action Strikes (for organic cinematic epic percussion loops)? Right now they have the same price! And what about the newer "Cue Builders Cinematic Rhythms"? Anyone with experience being able to compare all these libraries?

LOL no problem, these things are happening all the time in forums! So about Stormdrum 3, I would like to know about the loop content! Could they satisfy someone (like me) who is seeking a nice organic/epic/orchestral tempo-synced percussion loop library? I know SD3 is MUCH MORE than a loop...

@Geomir 1) I can understand if you prefer not to work with MIDI loops, but I just want to assure you that Taiko Creator comes with tons of MIDI drum patterns/loops and an integrated browser that makes it really easy to audition them. It's a brilliant library. 2) I don't own Action Strikes, so...

Thank you for this detailed explanation! It didn't came out as a surprise that AS is easier to use but has less variety! I had the same impression from the demos, but of course your opinion is more important than any demo! Still it does very good what it says it does! So it's very interesting...

I’m aware of the fact that we can use any loop with any library, but in most cases the results will be erratic at best, for obvious reasons. It would be nice to have content tailored for Synchron Percussion. All the best

@Owen Smith OK so it's better to wait for a sale, it seems like Action Strikes and/or Epic Cinematic Percussion are my best choices for what I am looking for! Thank you for your help so far! But IF anyone here has any first-hand experience with Soundiron's Rhythmic Odyssey, PLEASE help here! It...

Good tip. I am actually writing vertically all the time. When I am done with the intro and the main melody (horizontally), I start to add instruments and build the suspense gradually. I think vertically is the way of sounding as an orchestra. Most courses in Groove3 use the vertical approach...

I could be wrong, but I believe Action Strikes is a vaguely similar approach to PercX in that it's MIDI performance loop based (as opposed to sliced up, or time stretched samples), but the sounds in AS don't impress me much. RMX is something else entirely and has very little ethnic, cinematic...

Yes it's true! If you own any NI product that makes you qualified for crossgrade, then the price drops from $400 to $250! And it's written clearly "You are qualified for the Crossgrade because you own Requiem Light Symphonic Choir"! (in my case) I was ready to decide that my organic/epic/world...

Hey Geomir, Master Sessions Ensemble Drums is the one I have and I don't recommend it for organic acoustic percussion. It doesn't have any cymbals that I can find and the loops are very processed and kind of "mangled." It sounds like there is built in filter on every patch. Definitely not the...

@Owen Smith WOW indeed amazing examples, thank you for this! It is so difficult to choose, especially when you are on low budget (I am talking about me) and you realize that you cannot afford to make a "wrong choice"! It seems that Action Strikes, even if it's expensive for a 3GB Loop Library...

OUR NEW KONTAKT LIBRARY HYBRID HEAD CURSHER IS AVAILABLE NOW! https://pulsesetter-sounds.com/product/hybrid-head-crusher/? Hybrid Head Crusher is our twisted version of a vintage ice shaver sampling instrument. We sampled this vintage machine in every possible way and transformed it into an...

The loop nki's represent different kits and loop performances. The names are somewhat indicative of the style and contents, but it's still helpful to audition the loops to find exactly what you want. This is really no different than any loop collection, at least for me. I need to hear the...

Unfortunately you cannot do this yet, although it is heavily requested so all I can say at this stage is that it is under discussion. We will see what we can do Sound quality wise - I have to stress that these instruments (not including hybrid/SFX of course in this case) are really carefully...

Hey Geomir, Welcome to the forum. I am not big into that subject, but I think The deep percussion beds I and II are worth to look at. They have a lot of loops which you can also adjust to tempo. But there are many many more available on the market. Maybe and maybe just a little tip for you that...

I am pretty new to the virtual instrument scene and also have been looking for organic cinematic/orchestral loops for a while as I much prefer my music to sound organic than synthetic or industrial. I first picked up Deep Percussion Beds 1 on sale and have used it quite a bit. It is pretty...

Do you have personal experience with Stormdrum 3? I am very interested in the loop content (I strongly prefer the "tempo-synced audio loops" of SD3 than the "midi grooves" of SD2, because for me they are simpler to use). Do you think the loops can cover a "generic" spectrum of...

Great post and examples! Can I ask what cymbal wash patch you're using in your examples (mainly the first abs second I believe) as your transitions? Did you say Albion One? Cheers!

Is there anything new (well...last 2 or 3 years) in this field? I am using Komplete (combination of Action Strikes and Damage) for my epic percussion duties but it would be really great to find a library with both midi loops (that i could drag n drop into a track) and single samples. Looked at...

From time to time I hear sounds on tracks and I am absolutely clueless as to how they are made. Often these are somewhat subtle. Here are two examples. Does anyone have an opinion as to how these sounds were created? Earhart Video (not too long). This video contains some beautiful "metallic"...

How soon might it release? I have a film that would be perfect for this, but would not be able to wait too long. Congrats for a great sounding release.

We're excited to announce the official arrival of our newest library, Cue Builders Cinematic Rhythms. It's available now for the intro price of just $79 (goes to $99 on October 1st). The Cue Builders series debuts with a bang with this massive 16GB / 19,000 sample collection of epic and world...

Have read Site & Forum info but perhaps missed comment re. SAGA involvement. Is there SAGA basis for this library, and if so, can more detail be provided.

It's a shame these samples are all at 16 bit / 44.1 , especially with the time stretching. It limits how much you can get out of the sample (yes, I know you recorded at 4 different speeds, but time stretching still needs to be done to fit the tempo). I know there is a lot of content, but having...

Another one for NI Action Strikes - I absolutely love this epic percussion sound, it is bombastic, but still very naturalistic and warm, I use it all the time! :) I'm not a fan of Damage, but this is more a matter of personal taste.

Rex- You had me sold on Modal Runs, and I actually got to the point of entering my credit card info. I stopped to listed to the demos one more time, and frankly, I didn't have the same "aha" moment from when I heard the runs in Capriccio. Those runs sound much more realistic to me than the modal...

For more background - Have you ever see nan object that you inmediatly thought "I have to sample that!"? Thats what we did! And went a little beyond the standard instrument kit. We saw this vintage shaver machine that was used for decoration and it was on top of a large wodden box. Everyone...

They are completely different. Expeditions is pattern/loop-based, and focused on World/Ethnic sounds (percussion, organic textures, etc) and has a incredibly powerful engine featuring advanced sequencers and effects. The main selling point of that library, to me, is combining multiple sample...

Storm Drum 2 has single hits & midi loops and many excellent pre-set multis

You got me! It's obvious that I am confused and totally undecided! :P Right now I want a non-expensive library (but unlike Garritan, I want only the cheap price this time, and not the cheap sounds), so I can immediately replace the instruments in the songs I am composing, so I can open the next...

Don't miss CineSamples' "Deep Percussion Beds" volume 1 and 2. These are construction-kit style loop sets, where each kit has the full mix and between four and ten sections / stems / breakouts, and they're surprisingly versatile. The sound is absolutely lifelike and massive, and straddles the...

My initial thoughts about some of my favorite companies whose products I strongly recommend... SPITFIRE (I own 46 of their libraries) Strengths: Primarily softer orchestral and chamber strings (Albion V, Olafur Arnalds Chamber Evolutions, Spitfire Chamber Strings); sustained note/chord...

Hey Mads I wouldn't worry too much about negative/unhelpful feedback, its quite easy for people to forget that Vi-Control is about 'Composers helping Composers'. We all never stop learning no matter what level we are at... I personally think you have improved. Before I became a full time...

Ok so I stop talking like Morpheus from The Matrix :grin: I do not own any of the VI you own neither MMS but 100% sure that MMS will not bring anything on the table if you have already have Damage/Action Strikes/Rise & Hit/LADD. (ok... 99,99% sure) You already have 4 of the best epic percussion...

They're the ones that came with Apocalypse Percussion Elements and I've also got some that I bought from Red Ochsenbein. The Loop Loft has some epic drum midi files too. They're very useful until I learn how to make my own by examining them.

Thank-you for clarifying ! I was concerned as Damage seems the same when tried recently with LADD. I guess there are few (if any) orchestral/cinematic/epic/trailer loop/groove sources as are so common with pop/rock/jazz/ drum libraries like Scarbee, AD_Drums2, StylusRMX, .... many others...

So now you guys have made me curious. Can someone check out some things for me? @windyweekend @jiffybox @TheKRock First go into any preset, then change any parameter, the preset selector then reverts to say Factory Preset, correct? Next go to CH/Loops/FactoryScape preset, mute source 2,3, and...

Seeing the same thing. I edited the params on the 105 Great Percussion to the same as you get for another working patch but it didn't make any difference until I hit the PARAMS button, then it started giving the Reznor beat. Couldn't replicate this on the others though, which says to me it might...

Very early with LADD, and major factor was its 'the cure for the common loop ' !!! Time getting short for 50% Promo deal on Heavyocity MSS @ $199. Sad that it only provides wav audio _ NO MIDI, so cannot input huge Loop content to LADD. Sooo .... does HO_MSS still add notable cinematic...

OK, and starting from only NI K11U, agree there is still great content there. Current 'intense' focus is Percussion, as keyboardist trying to lay down reasonably valid basis Tracks. If your comments suggest that Damage, Action Strikes, Rise & Hit .... are more than enough to work with, then...

Thanks! I think you're probably right on that one. Not too concerned on it being picked out by listeners as I tend to layer quite heavily anyway. I wouldn't be using the loop content. At the moment I'm mixing HZ01 with Damage, Juggernaut, HO Ensembles and 8Dio Epic series and that's without the...

I compressed the Action Strikes loop from the low end because it gave too much energy to the 50-80 Hz area eating headroom like crazy. Probably overdid that.

Here's thinking outside the box, but if you truly want to learn to write for percussion, look at scores from DCI, Drum Corps International or even marching band music from arrangers such as Arrangers Publishing Company. But in everything, remember to cover you lows, mids, and highs. Even...

Re: ****Evolution Series World Percussion Taiko****Exclusive offer $99 Sale! Only 13 Days!**** Ok made a quick demo to show how flexible it is. It's just 4 ensemble patches playing without any external fx. First intimate mix then epic mix. All done with a bit tweak on interface. Hope you enjoy...

Damage has a very particular sound, to some extent like SD2, where if you hear a piece and there is a Damage Hit, or especially a Loop, you can instantly recognise it. Not sure that's a good thing. Damage is great product, but not if you are after more natural sounding percussion, and a lot of...

When it comes to the structure of drum parts, I usually use this approach: Starting with a 1 bar sequence, I'll loop it over the course of 8 bars and then I'll add fills at bars 2, 4, 6 and 8, with the size of the fill going in order 2+6, 4, 8. So, bars 2 and 6 will be just a slight deviation...

Here's my second posted piece and always welcome for feedback. I wanted to do something a little more epic, experimenting with dynamics more, heavier percussion, and as usual, working in distinct parts. I feel I'm learning more and getting better with each piece, as I try new things and focus on...

Hey everyone, I am trying to work on a more own sound for creating orchestral trailer tracks. I have been doing trailer work, but that is the more standard stuff and trying to evolve my own sound and I wanted to share a first track. Just working on a series of tracks for an album that I had...

Really? Really? You guys think the price is steep? Look again at that patch list, and think about what you'd be buying to get close from other competitiors. Nothing will be apples and apples, because there isn't anything really like this, but you'll need: Conventional orchestral...

I think this notion of either/or is a bit misguided. Think of it as wine tasting, which is wonderfully subjective. Think how sad it would be if we ONLY drank the same bottle of wine all the time. Libraries like these are different conceptually and can co-exist peacefully. The 8Dio Epic...

Hi Udo, I'm not going to give you my opinions since I'm the developer, but a few people (whom I don't know personally) did compare LADD to other libraries on another threads here on VI. Maybe these quotes will help you out. You can also feel free to ask me anything you want regarding LADD...

Wow, will the "creative artist" vs. "loop-mangler" discussion ever come to an end ? I´ve written one of the demo-tracks for AS, which is also used in the intro-video. I´ve also written a lot of epic music in my life. I was always thankful for percussion-loops and still am, as percussion will...

I own 8Dios Epic Taiko Ens and Solo Taiko, and love both. If you need to turn down the epic a little, the solo taiko sounds awesome, and is very close / intimate. It sounds phenomenal tuned down a little, too. I didn't showcase it or anything, but the 8Dio Solo Taiko makes up all the low...

For me, the thing about rhythmic loops is they often will sound better than creating the same sort of thing from scratch using single hit instruments. Especially stuff like hi-hat loops, fast repetitive percussion etc. So if I find a loop that does exactly what I want, or at least very similar...
