The sequel to The Very Loud Indeed Co.’s Shift library has arrived, delivering a collection of 320 tempo-sync’ed transition sounds that have been designed to be stacked together, and can be played in any key.
As with its predecessor, Shift II: Hybrid Scoring Transitions has been designed solely to bridge together different sections of music with seamless transitions. All of the included samples automatically sync to the tempo of the host DAW, and can played across a range of one and a half octaves. A wealth of styles and genres are covered, with the company saying that the library will happily tackle everything from “tense drama to frenetic action to bone-chilling horror.” Check out the video below to hear it in action.
Key Features
- 320 sound files at 24 bit / 48 kHz resolution in a compact ~2 GB footprint.
- Highly dynamic tempo-sync’ed and pitched transitions.
- All sounds can be accessed with a 61-key (or larger) MIDI controller without touching the GUI or shifting octaves.
- Clean and intuitive GUI.
- All WAV files are included, so you can use them in your DAW or other samplers.
Compatibility
SHIFT II: Hybrid Scoring Transitions runs in the full version of Native Instruments’ Kontakt 6.8 or later (it will not work in the free Kontakt Player), which is supported on PCs running Windows 10 or 11, and Macs running macOS 10.14 and above. VST, VST3, AU and AAX plug-in versions are available, along with a standalone version. The library requires 1.85GB of disk space.
