“ASCEND is an incredible instrument piled with creative options. There’s so much demand to be creative and exploratory nowadays that you need tools that go beyond what an instrument and a performer do. You need to be able to be flexible with the production of what you write to better enhance and care for the sonic story you’re telling. ASCEND will let you capture a performance and then add chaos, or darkness, or a shine or even a quality of recording or lack thereof. It allows you to enhance your ideas, while not slowing down the process of an initial performance. The FX sound great, the arp is easy to use for quick results and the ECHOES feature is inspirational. A wonderful addition to the Heavyocity lineup!”

“ASCEND is a beautifully-sampled grand piano. Straight out of the box, the Core Concert D fits perfectly within a myriad of different mixes. Heavyocity treats this piano no different than any other library they’ve created. As beautiful as the original piano does sound, and this library could stand on its own with just being a sampled grand, the bulk of the library gets Heavyocity’s signature treatment. The palette of sounds, whether pads, ARPs or rhythms, is immensely inspiring to say the least. They’ve done some pretty innovative stuff with ASCEND, taking full use of Kontakt’s abilities. There’s a lot going on under the hood. I was off and running on three different pieces just from hearing and being inspired by these sounds. ASCEND definitely gets the creative juices flowing and I am glad it’s part of my arsenal.”

“If I were a director, I could not resist shooting a scene on every single one of the ‘Ambient-Elements’ patches! I especially love the more minimal elegance on some of the synth-presets. Leading-edge stuff!!”

“I’m loving the DM-307, it’s got that signature Heavyocity attitude, rock solid timing and an incredible variety of ultra-tweakable sounds. The GUI is among the best I’ve ever used in a Kontakt instrument. It’s is an amazing drum tool that has instantly jumped to the top of my go-to list.”

“Oh my Lord. This is amazing. The virtual sound stage sounds fantastic. The Taikos are thunderous. Everything is so tight, so polished. This has all the best. Damage 2 covers so much more of the acoustic, as well as giving you a lot of what Damage 1 was famous for. Definitely going to be on most all of my stuff, I’m sure. You guys did it again…amazing.”

“Just like with Evolve, Heavyocity delivers once again with their newest Mutations. It’s incredibly wicked and a must for any serious composer!!”

“EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 delivers a new kick-ass set of inspiring, great sounding, very playable loops and instrument patches. Letting you play, process and “evolve” the sounds in real time using just your keyboard and key commands, EVOLVE MUTATIONS 2 delivers like nothing else. I’m hooked!”

“DAMAGE is a great musical tool for those looking for ballsy percussive sounds that will add color and vibrance to their tracks.  It has great sounds and an intuitive interface.”

“Heavyocity has done it again with Evolve Mutations. This is another no brainer library to own. The sounds are so relevant and useable right out of the box for many types of scoring projects that I work on. They have fast become one of my favorite sample developers.”

“NOVO: Modern Strings is dynamic and expressive. It provides the composer with a wide range of orchestral tools that suit any project. It is intuitive and will keep you inspired.”

“Damage 2 elevates cinematic percussion with its phenomenal collection of organic and enhanced percussive sounds. When crystal clear, punchy, and energetic drums are needed, Damage 2 delivers.”

“DM-307 continues to innovate the Heavyocity sound through immersive sound design and musical programming. DM-307 offers me a versatile sound palette that expands the possibilities of musical expression and creation.”

“In the crowded world of sample-based Sound Design & film scoring tools Heavyocity’s Aeon series stands apart not only in terms of it vast array of  progressive timbres, tone colors, & moods but in the attention to user controllable aspects that encourage users to make their Aeon Soundscape experience  truly their own. Fantastic!”

“Just when Evolve had become one of my ‘go to’ musical sound design instruments, Heavyocity piles on the awesomeness with Mutations 2. I love the new designy pads, great new hits, the new interface and the real time trigger FX. 2 thumbs way up and a big grin on my face. Very useful stuff!”

“Rhythmic Textures definitely has Heavyocity & Jason Graves’ signature all over it, in the best way. The basic bones of it, the actual samples recorded, are ripe with compelling motion, but then the ability to utterly mangle them from there forward is truly powerful. It was a joy to experiment and instantly profoundly useful.”

“FORZO: Modern Brass is the new overlord of all brass libraries. It’s extremely playable and the interface is slick and effortless with plenty of control. There are many libraries out there striving for orchestral realism, but Heavyocity has gone above and beyond and delivered much more than that. The additional “mangling” options are my favorite and never fail to spark inspiration.”

“Mosaic Keys is an incredibly inspiring and intuitive tool. With such an expansive range of textures and colors, it will no doubt find its way into many of my future projects. Its sound sources are uniquely compelling, and its ability to layer these sounds with dynamic parameter control makes it truly unlimited in its creative scope.”

“Loving the new Mosaic Tape. You just can’t beat the smooth top end and gritty attitude real tape brings to the party! Completely modern yet vintage at the same time. I’m already using it on two existing projects and it dropped right into the mix and fit like a glove.”

“The DM-307 is really intuitive and easy to work with it. You can expect really nice sounds for your productions, for sure.”

“Mosaic Keys is an arsenal of warm keyboard tones, carefully constructed with just the right amount of color, complemented by an analogous swath of gritty, attitude-laden patches. There’s inspiration to be found in every sound, easily tailored with Mosaic’s powerful sound-shaping tools.”

“With VENTO I finally have a family of woodwinds that fit the dark and scary moods in my scores. There’s a lot to love in VENTO; besides the beautifully done section recordings of “ordinary” articulations, there’s a ton of haunting, delicate, and terrifying textures and effects. Going deeper into the processed and rhythmic samples served up in the excellent NOVO engine, VENTO provides a thoroughly modern take on traditional woodwinds, and is at the top of my list… and template. I Love it!”

“Once again, the team at Heavyocity deliver a stellar product in FORZO: Modern Brass. As a composer and trombonist, I am very particular when it comes to brass libraries. FORZO delivers in all areas, with superbly performed and recorded traditional brass sections, plus hundreds of clusters, effects and swells. Then there are some amazing patches that have the modern Heavyocity twist, with mangled loops and sequences which will fit right at home into any modern production. You have never heard brass like this.”

“A very fast and very tweakable one-stop black box to make your tracks bump, grind, pop, scream, or shout”

“Once again a Heavyocity product lights the fuse of inspiration. Tape is a nice addition to Heavyocity’s Mosaic series. It’s like having a huge library of mellotrons on steroids at your finger tips.”

“Great stuff! A very nice addition to the previous library (Evolve). Thumbs Up.”

“I’ve used the original Damage library on pretty much everything. On video game work like Deus Ex but also my own record, Doomsday. With Damage 2, the Heavyocity guys have set a new standard in percussion libraries. The punch, the clarity and the new mix options are mind-blowing. Of course, since I like my sounds crunchy, you can shape the drums at your hearts desire with a ton of new options. In short: Damage 2 is a must-own for any cinematic composer.”

“Between Damage, DM-307 and Evolve, I thought I had every massive percussion library I’d ever need. I was wrong. Master Sessions: Ensemble Drums brings the extra low end punch that blends perfectly with your other libraries. These are samples that you didn’t know you needed, but that now you can’t live without.”

“As soon as I heard Damage 2 was coming out, I got chills. This is the library I’ve been waiting for for 10 years. Going through the sounds of Damage 2 – they’re just incredible. They’re organic and raw when you want them to be, and they’re dirty, grungy, and distorted when you need them to be. And you have all the control in the world. Heavyocity has a way of making their drums and percussion sound so punchy – they just cut through your mix, no matter what you have going on. Damage 2 will be in everything I do from here on out.”

“I have tools that are subtle and tools that slam. PUNISH is a great way for me to slam fast when I need to. Easy to dial in and make a sound more exciting.”

“Mutations delivers dry, in-your-face sounds that ooze style and character. It’s also aptly named – the simple but powerful interface allows radical manipulation and sonic mayhem, which is a must for those of us looking to make every sound ‘our own.’ And of course, in the tradition of Evolve, it sounds like a million bucks and sits perfectly in all of my mixes.”

“Mosaic Tape presents an assortment of dusty, vibe-y sounds with just the right amount of Heavyocity polish. Tasteful noise and saturation underpin these highly playable instruments, making for a fantastic lo-fi collection.”

“Heavyocity is consistently putting out libraries that have found their way into almost every score I’ve written over the last five years. With the release of GRAVITY, I was literally holding back cues from clients until I could add these sounds to my current projects. Well done, guys!”

“Heavyocity’s FORZO is a delightful library. It puts viscerally compelling brass performance at your fingertips. These inspiring instruments will keep composers moving forward.”

“Well, I’ve found my new go-to brass library. Hands down the smoothest and most dynamic brass I’ve had the pleasure of playing. Add in the extended techniques and sound design patches, and it’s three libraries in one. Another stellar release!”

“Heavyocity has raised the bar with DAMAGE; the sounds, controls, and the programming of DAMAGE are truly inspirational.”

“Scoring Guitars 2 builds on the strengths of the first Scoring Guitars with more of the great sounding ambiences and pulses. The rhythmic pedals are a great addition that can add attitude to any track. Overall, this is a wonderful instrument on its own that really shines in combination with other Heavyocity instruments.”

“Sometimes my sounds are bad and need to be punished. Now I just run them through PUNISH and they become even more bad ass!”

“The diversity of sound within GRAVITY is astonishing. Each sound inspires new ideas and creative techniques that enhance my writing process. The elements in GRAVITY not only sound great but are very musical and functional. Music/Sound design is pushed to new limits with GRAVITY. Any musician will benefit with GRAVITY in their toolbox.”

“How would I describe Mosaic Tape? I’d say it falls into the “Omg-where-did-you-get-that-sound” category. So darn unique and immediately inspiring. Heavyocity…you rock, thank you.”

“Phenomenal sounds and instant accessibility are the two hallmarks of any Heavyocity product. As if they couldn’t top themselves…gotta say this is the most epic and tweak-able Heavyocity release yet. It’s already made its way into two of my current projects. GRAVITY is an epic twist on creative sound sources and rafter-shaking drama.”

“I love how Heavyocity pushes the boundaries of timbre and rhythm with the DM-307. Not surprisingly, it’s just another great product from this consistently, high quality, innovative and most importantly MUSICAL company. Thank you Heavyocity for the good work.”

“Partnering with Heavyocity to produce Rhythmic Textures made me feel like a kid in a musical candy store. I normally shy away from loop-based orchestral samples but I believe composers will find these instruments both inspirational and extremely versatile. I’m quite proud to be part of such a unique product.”

“Evolve is a tremendous musical platform. Since I got it, I have used it on every musical project that has come my way. I look forward to getting in the studio when I can bring in that plug-in and just ride the inspiration.”

“ASCEND starts with a great collection of prepared piano samples but that’s only the beginning. It goes deep into uncharted territory with the automatable Three Point Mixer, a great pitch-shifting and pitch-quantizing delay, and a really amazing set of convolution impulses. From dark emotional pianos to hypnotic patterns and all the way to subtle atmospheres and evil dronescapes, ASCEND will go there. Highly recommended!”

Don’t just take his word for it, try Heavyocity’s ASCEND Grand Piano Virtual Instrument yourself!

“Rhythmic Textures takes great sounding organic string recordings and pushes them in new directions with creative arranging and processing.
The result is a compelling collection of fascinating string performances, easily accessed and shaped for any project.”

“Mutations 2 takes Heavyocity’s sound into an even more customizable, destructive realm. The programming and ‘Trigger FX’ switching in this new set of sounds eliminates huge amounts of time I normally spend personalizing sounds. Out of the box, Mutations 2 once again fits nicely with the style I write. Adding in the ‘on the fly’ effects key-switching makes this this collection a MUST BUY.”

“I am using Mutations for a new remix… I am totally loving it. Right up my alley.”

“Heavyocity has released yet another indispensable addition to the Gravity line. From the slick pulses and phrases to the evocative beds and drones, there’s some really fresh and inspirational sounds begging to be added to your palette.”

“NOVO is an instant classic. I swear we will be hearing it everywhere in the coming months, and that’s because it’s so darn good and inspiring. As soon as you press a note you get a vibe going, but then you can delve in, assign parameters to faders, and really start sculpting these patches to the way you like them. A premium library from the Heavyocity guys”

“Hands down, my new number one go-to for any drum/percussion sound. What really impresses me every time I open it is the meticulously designed interface. It makes everything quick and easy, but the power and control you have over the sounds is truly amazing. Having so much control inside the instrument itself is saving me time and processing power – two things we can always use more of!”

“I’ve always liked Heavyocity’s approach to instrument design, focusing on the actual needs of composers/producers. FORZO builds on this tradition, with a new level of sound quality and vastly increased production adaptability. Hits the spot for me!”

“Still in shock. Endless possibilities. Breathtaking sounds. Quite literally three instruments in one! Having control over both the natural, modern string instruments and their processed, mangled counterparts is a stroke of genius.”

“I love the Aeon Melodic library, and it’s so easy to use and program. When I am writing I just want stuff to “work”. “Advanced Performance Options” allow me to explore very contemporary soundscapes which is great in augmenting live musicians and orchestra. I love how easy it is to use. The sounds seem to fit seamlessly into my orchestrations. Great Work!!”

“Damage 2 is a deep library and is an instant ‘go to’ for me as a composer. The ability to work with loops, single hits and ensembles, as well as being able to drop source samples in, makes this an indispensable tool. I am blown away by the sheer range of instruments available, both organic and processed, and the amount of velocity layers make this the most naturally playable percussion library available. Also, the sound quality of Damage 2 is sublime. From the instruments selected to the natural room sound and the highest quality signal path, this library sounds absolutely incredible.”

“Heavyocity does it again! AEON is perfect for building melodic textures and beefy motifs, quickly and efficiently. The sonic possibilites are endless.”

“Wow, where do I even start!? Where did you guys come from? This Evolve library is everything I’ve wanted in a sample library for years. The dynamic range across all 6 gigs of content is astounding, from the heaviest of hits and beats, to the lightest quirkiness of a mouth pop. The quality and production of Evolve from top to bottom is by far the biggest bang for your buck on the market today.”

“Another tasteful advance in electronic music making weaponry from the vibrant and virile imagination of Heavyocity.”

“Ethnic Drum Ensembles is the library I was always longing for when I wanted “that” huge ethnic sound! As soon as I heard this newest release by the Heavyocity guys I knew they nailed it again as they did with all their previously released products!”

“Finally someone has made high string effects with bends! NOVO is incredible! The panning and tuning are spot on. It’s so deep and useful, both for traditional and synth strings, that it has won an immediate place in my template.”

“PUNISH is the perfect cure for that boring ‘straight out of the box’ sound. From subtle sonic facelifts to all out audio decimation, Heavyocity gives us the plugin we didn’t know we needed but probably won’t be able to live without”
