Q: Cinematic Sound Design and Scoring Library by Vir2 Instruments

Q combines playable melodic pitched instruments with multi-sampled one-shot percussion and effects. Its categories range from Ambient Chordal Pads and Multilayer Dreamscapes to Hong Kong Cinema, Middle Eastern and Western styles, so the palette covers both modern textures and genre-specific colors.

The library also includes a set of epic percussion loops. These sync automatically to tempo and can be played as whole loops or by the slice, which makes them practical for building rhythmic sections in a scoring session.

The central interface gives one-click access to the main effects, including the EZRoom convolution, delay, chorus, filters and more. Melodic instruments include a legato mode for smoother transitions between notes in solo playing. Multilayered instruments, such as drones and dreamscapes, offer direct control over the volume, pan, tuning and envelope of each layer.

Every knob and slider can be assigned to an external MIDI CC through MIDI learn, so you can control parameters in real time from a hardware controller. Many one-shot effects, such as booms, whooshes and metal hits, are also available as 24-bit WAV files for drag-and-drop into a film mix.
