Impact Soundworks Rhapsody: Orchestral Percussion is a meticulously crafted virtual instrument library designed to deliver a broad and expressive range of orchestral percussion sounds. Perfect for composers and producers, this collection offers a versatile palette of percussive instruments, sampled in exquisite detail to provide a rich, authentic orchestral experience.

The library features over 50 traditional and extended percussion instruments, including core drums like bass drum, snare, and toms; a variety of cymbals; mallet instruments such as glockenspiel, xylophone, marimba, and tubular bells; auxiliary percussion like shakers, sleigh bells, and castanets; as well as hand drums including djembe, bongos, cajon, and darbuka. This extensive selection ensures you have all the tools needed to create dynamic and intricate percussion arrangements.

Each instrument is deeply sampled with up to 10 dynamic layers and 5 round robins per articulation, allowing for highly realistic and expressive performances. Recorded in a beautiful medium-sized orchestral hall, the library provides three microphone positions—close, stage, and hall—giving you control over the natural ambience and room sound without overwhelming reverb.

Many instruments feature modwheel-controlled dynamic rolls and swells for real-time articulation control, enhancing the musicality and playability of the library. The intuitive one-page user interface simplifies mic mixing, panning, and instrument adjustments, making it easy to shape your sound exactly how you want.

Available in both 16-bit and 24-bit samples, Rhapsody caters to different system capabilities and audio fidelity preferences. The library is efficiently organized into just 8 patches, streamlining workflow and accessibility.
