Impact Soundworks did send a review copy with no strings attached.

Installation

After purchase, you download the library and do a batch re-save in Kontakt. You need the full version of Kontakt 5.5+ and cannot use this library in the free Kontakt player. Impact Soundworks also states  that you need a fast enough CPU: “The additive synthesis engine can be CPU intensive, so an i3 3ghz processor or better is recommended, especially when using a lot of voices with a lot of partials.”

Sound

With you get lovely mallet sounds, arpeggiated textures, ostinatos, and subtle bell timbres which you can use in all varieties of a score.

Meditation acoustic combines synthesis layer with sound glasses, metals, bells, gongs, and more from three Impact Soundworks products: Resonance, Curio, and Momentum.

  • 21 acoustic sound sources.
  • Glass, mallets, gongs, and found sounds.
  • Sine, saw, and square waveforms.
  • High fidelity synth sampling.
  • Over 2,500 samples included total.

Meditation uses selected sound sources: Aquarion, Boltophone, Brass Urn, Crotales, Gamelan Ensemble, Glass Gong, Glockenspiel, Kenong, Koto Harmonic Pluck, Marimba, Muted Prayer Bowl, Pipe Harp, Pot Lids, Rubber, Mallets, Shou Drum Brushed, Stonaphone, Toy Piano, Tubular Bells, Vibraphone, Violin Pick, and Water glasses.

Impact Soundworks did include some beautiful snapshots which you need to copy into the correct folder on your hard drive manually, those snapshots are beautiful and do show off the excellent sound quality and possibilities of meditation.

User interface & Usability

Clean and easy to use, the detailed, the so-called “Mad Matrix” was designed by someone who passed the class of UI design with a hypothetical result. The Effects rack is usable; most would use DAW based effects as well. Most important the primary interface is easy to use.

Rating:  Four out of five stars

Meditation is an uplifting compilation of an acoustic mallet, gong, and glass sounds combined with a synthesizer. You can quickly and fast create augmented sounds with their engine; the usability of the main page of the library is helping you to get results quickly.
