Damage 2: Epic Percussion Virtual Instrument by Heavyocity

Damage 2 contains 41,395 samples and 1,596 sources, with a collection of large gran casas, taikos, bass drums, snare ensembles, toms, ethnic drums and found percussion. Heavyocity says the sources were recorded in sessions at Skywalker Sound.

The Ensemble Designer gives you five mic positions: Close, Room, Hall, LFE and an analog CRUSH channel. Instant 3D positioning on the updated Stage lets you place each source in the mix space, and a Browser loads 700+ sources in octave banks or as individual sounds.

The Kit Designer provides a 16-voice drum kit layout with more than 50 custom kits. Each voice has its own FX chain for compression, reverb and saturation, and sounds can be assigned to MIDI notes, so it works from pad controllers and keyboards alike.

The Loop Designer includes 864 tempo-synced loops in straight and triplet meters, with 216 loops that include four stems each. A Unique Send FX layer lets you add modulation and effects to individual loops, and a Modulation table sequences movement across them.
