01Overview

Click Click Bang! is aimed at sound designers, experimental musicians and producers who want firearm sounds they can play rather than just drop onto a timeline. Soundiron built the library from its M1 Garand Rifle collection and added new tonal atmospheric content. The result pairs the playability of a virtual instrument with the flexibility of a professional sound effect library, with each file also available as an individual WAV for classic sound design and foley work.

Gunshot and firearm handling sounds

The library draws on foley from 7 pistols, 4 revolvers and 7 long guns. The categories include indoor and outdoor gunshots, brass bouncing, weapon shaking, mechanical actions, loading, slide racks, and trigger and safety noises. Soundiron says it explored each category in depth to avoid repetitive, lifelike results, which makes the library suited to video game sound design and film post production.

The sounds are authentic to their source, so period work is well covered. They are also easy to reshape, and the developer notes they work well in unorthodox settings such as concert percussion.

Kontakt controls, LFOs and FX rack

The Kontakt interface offers automation-ready controls for swell, attack, release, offset, vibrato, filter, coarse and fine pitch, articulation switching, cross-fading and layering. An adaptable LFO system provides selectable shape, target parameter, speed, intensity, tempo sync and fade-in time.

The modular FX rack has 8 slots that accept any of 27 DSP modules, in any order. Its convolution reverb includes 99 room, hall, chamber and outdoor impulse responses plus 40 custom FX impulses. The library also includes 21 Kontakt .nki presets, 11 Decent Sampler presets and 20 ambient pads and drones.

05FAQ

Questions, answered

What do I need to use Click Click Bang!?

You need the full retail version of Native Instruments Kontakt version 6.2.2 or later, because the .nki presets do not load in the free Kontakt Player. The library also needs a dual-core CPU and 2 GB of RAM, and a SATA or SSD drive is recommended.

Which operating systems and formats does Click Click Bang! support?

The library runs on Windows 7 or higher and macOS 10.12 or higher, and it is delivered in the Kontakt format. It takes up 1.03 GB once installed.

Can I use the individual sound files outside Kontakt?

Yes. Soundiron says all the individual sound-effect WAV files are organized in directories, so they can be used directly in sound design and foley mixing. The 1,845 samples are stereo and unlocked.
