"Must-have library for the action thriller space war video game marvel DC fantasy extravaganza composer. The sound is in a definite niche – it’s not soft, or pastoral, and it’s aimed at the darker end of the brass atmospherics. But in creating those atmospheres, I think it’s unparalleled. The recorded sound of the brass instruments is absolutely phenomenal – perhaps the best I’ve heard. The sheer power of the brass when you hit a large deep chord reflects just how well recorded, mixed and set up this library is. For dramatic, earth-shattering, tense powerful brass rhythms and blasts, beds and motifs, this is the peak of libraries right now. Go get it." Read the Full Review

"This library pushes sonic boundaries with an incredible organic sample set and the same top-tier hybrid sound design we have come to expect from the Heavyocity. I loved the library so much." Watch the First Look

"This is worth the price for the trombones alone! That's my favorite section. Those trombones are so good! They just have the right tone. In a lot of the other libraries, trombones tend to be too harsh or too dull and muddy. These have the cinematic sound of a live trombone section. Absolutely gorgeous sounding! The brass is actually blowing away a lot of the competition…things that I used regularly. The bass trombones and the tubas layered together, they sound nasty and full. The full ensemble, it sounded really full and thick...The tone of the sustains is absolutely on f--king point. All and all, absolutely love this library. It's one of the best things Heavyocity has put out, in my opinion." Watch the Overview

"A superb epic brass library: beautifully recorded, brimming with detail and energy, with a huge sound, a wide dynamic range, with plenty of articulations, effects and extended techniques ideal for traditional orchestral, movie and games scoring. The Brass Designer and Brass Loop Designer then take all that labrosonic goodness into an entirely different world, warping and twisting it all beyond recognition. Absolutely wonderful."

"In terms of quality and tonal variety, Heavyocity’s FORZO may very well be the next big thing in modern orchestral brass sampling. The sound quality of the instruments is amazing and remarkably consistent across the various articulations, playing styles and effects offered. The library’s overall sound is big, bold and powerful, but is also capable of creating those elusive lush, warm brass tones some other libraries struggle with. The well-crafted and powerful sounding traditional instruments of FORZO would be worth getting the library alone. If you add the enormous amount of hybrid sound design tools and options into account, it’s clear that this product is a must-have. Period." Read the Full Review

"FORZO is an incredible instrument capable of brilliant traditional orchestral brass textures as well as aggressive sound design possibilities that rival anything else on the market. The robust modulation capabilities of the Evolved instruments are enough to warrant buying FORZO." Read the Full Review

"This is the best modern brass library I've ever heard or played. Not only is this an essential purchase for all composers and virtual instrument enthusiasts but it also earns an unequivocal 5 out of 5 stars! Forzo is impeccable, flawless, and it's characteristic tone will intoxicate your ears. Since Heavyocity’s first virtual instrument ‘Evolve’, they have continuously broken new ground with each release. Forzo not only broke new ground, they decimated it." Read the Full Review

"While Forzo’s traditional section offers great sound quality, it is the Evolved side of the product that rules supreme. There is simply no other brass library out there with this level of sonic depth and manipulative parameters. Whether you are in need of exceptional sound design or aleatoric explorations, Heavyocity has delivered a spectacular product that is practically a must-have for any composer working in media these days."

"[TRANSLATED] The sound quality and variety of sounds convinces all along the line. You can hear the attention to detail, which is in Heavyocity FORZO: Modern Brass. The variety of articulations, modulation options and the two modes "Traditional" and "Evolved" open the Modern Brass Library for a variety of genres and applications. If you do not have a brass library yet and are looking for classical sounds as well as modern hybrid sounds, then this is the place to go. FORZO manages to reinterpret the Brass-Library category and that awakens the curiosity for more virtual instruments from Heavyocity." Read the Full Review

"I have to say that Heavyocity has really nailed it with FORZO, and I’ve already replaced all the brass sections in my main orchestra template with those from FORZO. One of the most impressive cinematic instruments we’ve encountered lately. FORZO is an absolute winner on all fronts. This is one of the most fascinating libraries. I can’t find any problematic areas. Each instrument is perfectly playable and sounds rich, blending nicely with other libraries. FORZO brings quality, quantity and diversity, all in the same package. This gets my vote as one of the most amazing products that has come out this year. I’m really impressed with everything. It is the ultimate brass tool. It is worth every penny." Read the Full Review

"It is absolutely, absolutely incredible. Some of the best brass sounds I've ever heard. It is just absolutely fantastic." Watch the Review

"[Translated] 4.5 out of 5 Stars. The Modern Brass library FORZO lives up to its name. The sound quality of the entire library is first class and suitable for scorings with epic character. First of all, the Kontakt instrument provides traditional instruments with a comprehensive selection of articulations and combinable microphone positions that meet many requirements. In addition, further Evolved instruments are added, whose multilayer sounds can be edited specifically with effects and tools. FORZO remains an absolute buy recommendation for arrangers and composers." Read the Full Review

"5 out of 5 stars. FORZO is a leading brass library for any composer that wants to compose an epic and cinematic score. I do absolutely love the timbre of the bends from the lower instruments. FORZO did simply blow me away. With FORZO, Heavyocity continues to push the competition and leave some already behind that want to play in this space. FORZO fits into the cinematic score to picture grand space and is on par with other libraries from leading companies publishing virtual instrument libraries in the cinematic and epic range. FORZO is a very flexible library...It is one of the best libraries Heavyocity has released." Read the Full Review
