01Overview

Synchro Hits is aimed at producers who need large impact sounds for cinematic and game scoring. The instrument combines three riser and three hit sample sources, each with its own EQ, pitch, panning and effects. Its categories include big hits, singles, low booms, jump scares and FX. Loot Audio positions the library for scoring and sound design work, and the developer says the material is built around brutal, impact-heavy textures. Loot Audio describes the sounds as recorded from destroyed cars, walls and custom-made drums, then combined with digital synthesis.

Riser and Hit Sound Design Controls

Each of the three riser and three hit sources has an independent 3-band EQ, pitch shifting of plus or minus 12 semitones, and source-specific panning and width controls. Filter sweep controls can be timed to sweep into or out of the next sound, which helps shape softer or more aggressive transitions.

Release control on the hits section lets you adjust how each hit decays. Separate effects chains for risers and hits, plus a global chain with compressor, limiter, reverb, stereo, cabinet and delay, let you shape the sound from source to output.

Hit Timing and Randomization

Hit timing functions keep hits synchronized with your project. Loot Audio says the hitpoint detection engine detects when the next bar or half bar will land and adjusts the start of the riser so the hit lands on that point.

Sample selection and parameter randomization help you generate starting points quickly. The library includes 233 hit files, 123 risers and 126 layers for further customization, which gives a wide pool of material to work from.
