Welcome to Impact Designer (Kontakt 5 instruments with custom interface). Produced by Dan Graham, who has now also produced two sequels Whoosh Designer and Rise Designer, and produced our extremely popular Animato: String & Flute FX for Cinema, Spiritoso: Live Cello Phrases, Luminoso: Live Violin Phrases and Perpetuo: Live Flute Phrases titles.

Nominated for Best Software Instrument/Library in the 2015 MUSIC TECH Gear of the Year Awards, Impact Designer is a stunning, futuristic mega-slam SFX creation machine with extremely high quality impact sounds built from live environmental recordings. These were then processed with customised software by Italian Professor of Sound Design, Alessandro Camnasio whose trailer credits include Transformers: Age of Extinction, Captain America - The First Avenger and THOR.

Under the hood:

There are 3 dynamic velocity layers and 3 round robins for each sound so it all stays nicely organic-sounding without a machine-gun effect of repeat sample-triggering.

Every Impact is made up of 3 elements - HIT, BOOM and DECAY. Respectively, these 3 elements are the attack, the body of the hit and the long release. The Impact Designer instrument quickly crossfades between the 3 different sounds in order to produce sonic complexity and a very wide range of possible variations. There is also a Pre-Hit function which is a reverse sound that can give your Impact an impressive thwack.

Added to this is a GUI which allows for total sonic manipulation and includes pitch, drive, compression, pan, filter, delay and reverb controls to make the possibilities truly infinite.
