I'm pleased to announce the release of MOMENTUM, a percussion-based virtual instrument we've been working on for over two years! Designed specifically for film, TV, and game composers, this performance library is built from original acoustic percussion instruments and found objects.

A Treasure Trove of UNIQUE Percussion

Momentum features over 2,600 rhythmic loops in multiple frequency ranges, time signatures, and tempos, with both tonal and unpitched instruments. This is ALL-NEW content well-outside the realm of traditional drum and perc libraries, such as:
  • Djembes, darbukas, and cajons played with fingers, mallets, and brushes
  • Cello, picked and slapped
  • Erhu, picked and brushed
  • Classical guitar, brushed, slapped. and struck
  • Metal doors, staircases and boxes
  • Mistreated bass drums
  • Bottles and pans, kalimbas, and buffalo drums
  • Custom drum kits
  • Aircans, bamboo, and brass urns
  • Egg shakers, muted guitars, and waterglasses
  • Chinese toms, maracas, udu, and caxixi
  • And much more...
Additionally, the library includes over 2,500 gorgeous multisamples and oneshots including over 100 menu-style percussive sounds plus lovely tuned percussion spread across the keyboard.

For those of you who prefer to mangle loops in your own software, ALL loops are also available as REX2 and WAV! You can even load the entire library into Stylus RMX with our pre-imported and categorized SAGE files.

Inspiring New UI and Engine

Momentum is driven by an all-new script engine focused on rhythm and delivering inspiration as fast as possible.

The main Loop Designer patch allows deep editing of individual performances. Load up any loop and tweak to your heart's content with per-slice volume, pan, pitch, cutoff, and resonance editing, as well as two mod tables that hook into our Modulation Matrix. Our 8-slot FX Rack connects to the Mod Matrix as well, allowing you to easily morph and transform loops.

Naturally, there are also easily editable envelopes and filters - both per-slice OR global - for further editing.

The Loop Designer has other useful features as well, such as key-triggered trigger FX (stutter, gate, reverse), built-in multisample keys for many instruments, and the ability to play the loop from ANY slice.

Power Browser

We've also built a super inspiring new Browser which makes it incredibly easy to find the perfect loop for your project. Simply filter your search by using a wide range of tags related to tempo, time, instrument, or timbre and you'll be instantly presented with a great selection.

Naturally, the loop playback engine will also adapt to your host tempo. Still, when at particularly low or high tempos, sometimes finding a loop close to your project tempo will yield the best possible results.

Loop Mapper

Lastly, our Loop Mapper patch gives you a simple way to load up a range of performances "menu-style" across the keyboard. Use the browser to map however many keys you want, and then press a key to trigger the loop. It's that simple.

We've just added Stylus RMX support to Momentum! The entire library can be easily imported with our standalone SAGE/RMX format downloads. All loops have been carefully categorized into suites by instrument and time signature.

We also added this nifty continuous slice editing feature in the Kontakt version, allowing for easier and faster editing in the waveform view:

I am having a lot of fun with this one. A lot more fun than I expected, tbh. I am not a loop guy for the most part, but this UI is so slick and easy I can't help myself. And who hasn't occasionally wished for a slapped cello sample?
