Damage v.1.5.0 Lite Version KONTAKT
15 June 2021 | KONTAKT | 5.11GB
This is a light version of the Heavyocity Damage library. The library offers a combination of industrial sounds and orchestral sounds. Despite being around for almost a decade, Damage has stood the test of time and is still one of the hardest hitting percussion libraries around. The library is an absolute staple for epic, hybrid and industrial compositions. On top of the deeply sampled percussive kits, the library also features a range of one-shot samples and a variety of loops, which can be chopped up and effected in various ways. While more suited for hybrid scoring, with a few tweaks it works reasonably well in more traditional contexts too. Overall, a fantastic library for hard-hitting, in-your-face percussion sounds that is a great addition to anyone’s toolkit!
Following changes were made to the library:
1. The “Hall” mic position sample group was removed, as it didn’t add too much value and could be easily replaced with a reverb. The included “Close” and “Room” mic positions allow for a great deal of flexibility while preserving the sound of the room the instruments were recorded in as well.
2. The samples in the original release were in 24-bit 44.1kHz format. The samples were converted to 16-bit 44.1kHz and repacked into NKX containers. A null test results in a peak of -85dB, which won’t be audible at all. Also, after quite some testing, no issues were found with noise floor build-up when playing lots of notes. The conversion process takes the size down to 5.11GB from the original 15.0GB, which is a 66% reduction! 
The result of these changes is that patches now consume much less memory than the original. For example, the “PERC Studio Armageddon Ens.nki” patch now takes up just 164MB of RAM instead of 304MB in the case of the original library!
NOTE: Kontakt v5.8.0 or higher is required. This library does not work with legit full version of Kontakt and k’d Kontakt is necessary to use this library.
