Awards, Reviews, and Testimonials

Ethnic Drum Ensembles is one of those fantastic libraries where you load up a patch and you have something awesome at your fingertips immediately. Another incredibly useful tool from the Heavyocity boys.

David Buckley

The Good Wife, Jason Bourne, The Town

"When it comes to unique tones, colors, and rhythmic sounds the Heavyocity line of plugins can be an amazing library of textures to choose from. Not only do they sounds great from the start, but they're also easy to program and tweak to create your own identity. I've used them many times and most recently on my score to Perry Mason to great affect. The Master Session Library really help me to create what we called on the show "Perry's World". Great plugins at an amazing price."

Terence Blanchard

These drums are so modern and punchy, oozing with analog mojo that so many sample libraries seem to be missing. And the interface! Heavyocity makes it so easy to tweak the sounds and make them your own.
