Killer Percussion from All Over the World
Vir2 World Impact arms you with a well-stocked arsenal of more than 300 world percussion patches that leverage the full might of Native Instruments Kontakt. This 13GB library spans the globe, supplying you with a wide-ranging cache of percussion instruments from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and more. You'll experience outstanding dimension and realism, courtesy of this VI's integrated Humanize engine, while its built-in EZRoom convolution reverb places your instruments in any of 50-plus sonic environments. You also get a realistic array of tempo-syncable articulations, thanks to a powerful pattern engine based on Vir2's Elite Orchestral Percussion, which also permits the creation of engaging — and realistic — rhythmic patterns. World Impact is a must-have for world music and cinematic composition.
Note: This expansion pack requires a separate installation of Native Instruments Kontakt or Kontakt Player. For more information, call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer.

Delivers stunning dimension and realism
World Impact's integrated Humanize engine gives it dimension and realism that are second to none. Under the hood of this virtual instrument is a powerful scripting algorithm that intelligently varies the pitch, timing, and volume of each hit. This ensures a diverse range of timbres and guards against robotic, machine gun-inflected percussion. At Sweetwater, we dig how tweakable the Humanize engine is. Whether you want to bypass it or crank its various parameters for extreme effects, World Impact will accommodate you.
Includes ear-pleasing sonic spaces
Dry-sounding percussion can easily leave you wanting. However, this isn't an issue for Vir2 World Impact. Its built-in EZRoom convolution reverb enables you to place your instruments in your choice of more than 50 ear-pleasing sonic environments. From chapels and halls to caverns and rooms, EZRoom adds the perfect flavor of spatiality to your performance. There are several esoteric spaces on tap as well. What's more, individual Dry and Wet knobs supply you with full control over your balance and levels.
Expressive articulations and triggers
Get ready to unleash your most expressive percussive performances ever, thanks to World Impact's robust articulation and trigger engine. This virtual instrument's tempo-syncable articulations include chokes and flams, as well as an array of rolls and 3-stroke rolls. Additionally, you can create up to 25 user-programmed rhythmic patterns with World Impact that can be triggered by the engine.
