RISE ABOVE & MAKE AN IMPACT.
The concept is cool with a lot of options and ideas around creating impacts and sound effects.
There are four layers that can be used and for each you can set to Rise+Hit or a Whoosh.
There are 4 modulation you can use and assign to each of the layers and plenty of effects that can be assigned to each layer and master channel.
This library that can run on both the free player and full Kontakt.

This is really a great sound guitar VST but the two very powerful features that I surprised me are the riffer and strummer.
With these you can create or even generate patterns and melodies you can use in your songs. In addition there's the guitar pro tab player which for me is really cool as I have huge collection of tabs.
There are few effects but they are the most important (Compressor, EQ, Delay and Reverb).

Love both the Dongxiao and Qudi flutes and especially for the natural sound and playability.
The articulations and ornaments are adding so much and it's easy to get inspired.
Ample China Qudi (ACQD) is built on the latest development of the Woodwind Sample Engine, with 4.4 GB samples, including head and body articulations, FX sounds, as well as a select collection of improvised licks.

The articulations and ornaments are adding so much and it's easy to get inspired.
Ample China Dongxiao (ACDX) is built on the latest development of the Woodwind Sample Engine, with 4.8 GB samples, including head and body articulations, FX sounds, as well as a select collection of improvised licks.
This is a really cool concept and well implemented. The sounds are great for ambient and soundscapes as well as odd textures.
Creating new sounds and using the modulations is easy and fun. The LFOs are actually very creative and musical.
Here is my tutorial:

UJAM Brute review.
I'll start with the basics, the sound of the kits is great and the phrases are gold. I just love the user interface and how everything is so easy to understand without reading the user guide.
This Drummer is going for that 90s sound and with the 5 kits they nailed it.
Here is my overview, deep dive and demo.

Another great plugin by UJAM with the same easy to use UI and workflow that makes you want to write music.
This is the second instrument in the Symphonic Elements series following Striiiings and again with collaboration with Hans Zimmer.
I love the idea behind this plugin that includes some very cool sound design features and allows you to take even the most boring drum phrases and turn them inside out.
Here is my review and demo of all the included presets.

The UJAM BeatMaker series is really cool covering different styles and genre. The GLORY is all about Trap and Pop.
With BeatMaker Glory you can use the built in phrases to construct your drum parts, design the drum sounds and even send each instrument to it's own output channel.
I really like the sounds of the different kits and with the mix presets you can really personalize the sounds.
One of the useful features is the option to tune the bass which is really good idea.
The plugin includes different drum kits and you can mix and much to create your own presets.
If you want to tweak the sounds further you can send each instrument to different output channel.

Finally a compressor that does not try to reproduce hardware or follow the usual path of compressor plugins.
This compressor brings both multiband and spectral compression as a true and refreshing innovation.
Features
Dragon Fire with its Shape technology offers multiple creative features to tune the sound of the compressor, from vintage to transparent and anything in between. Create that original and vintage sound, for example with the:
RMS and Knee functions to soften the compression sound.
Interpolate between a fast and slow release curve for an 'optic' style response.
Adaptive saturation: This lets you control the amount of saturation based on the gain reduction.
Besides its Shape features it offers a:
Push-pull graph: an easy-to-use, eq-style graph to control how the compressor reacts to different frequency ranges.
Transparent clipper function at the end of the signal chain.
Easy switch to use the compressor in classic mode as a single band compressor.
Comes with various presets including instruments like guitars, bass, vocals & drums.
