Intensity. Force. Motion. Tension. RUN! is a virtual instrument that conveys this imagery with fast-paced, flexible and forward-leaning drum and percussion sounds. Designed for composers writing for action-oriented media (movies, games, streaming), RUN!’s library of loops and samples has an easy-to-understand layout that can be approached in a number of ways:
Access large banks of sounds segmented by percussive category, like: Timekeepers, Electronic, Natural Small, Natural Large, Melodics and Kicks & Low Add Ins. Or, use one of the many “Sound Palette” presets featuring a mixture of these sounds, pre-arranged and ready to score a cue. RUN! utilizes a wider-than-usual variety of instruments and sound design. The aim: to help composers match on-screen action with quick-changing combinations of texture and rhythm.
Other composer-friendly considerations include:
- Loops can be used at virtually any tempo with no artificial stretching or sound degradation.
- Loops have been tuned, with pitches notated for each part.
- 350+ playable sample sets featuring round-robin and/or multi-velocity samples.
Composers also get control over the sound of every loop and sample in a preset: adjust Volume, Pan, Stereo Width, Pitch, EQ, Delay, Reverb and more, with controls automatically showing for the last played part. For composers who value diverse and unexpected sound combinations when scoring action scenes, RUN! fills a unique space among other “cinematic” drum tools.
