Captured in the same revered hall as Soundiron's Olympus Choir and other flagship libraries, Apocalypse Percussion Micro is teeming with potent, open acoustic character, bolstered by ear-grabbing natural acoustics. The custom Kontakt interface offers three master presets — an ensemble bank, a dual-layer tuned percussion system, and an 8-socket Megamixer kit builder — alongside a multimode arpeggiator with step sequencing, 119 convolution reverb spaces, 15 sound-designed effect presets, and a full DSP effects rack housing EQ, delay, distortion, and amp sims.

Whether you’re adding tension to a film score, designing alien textures for a video game, or hunting for the one percussive hit no one else has used, Antidrum Machine provides you with a vast assortment of experimental and alternative instruments and sound effects.
