Description: YOU DID NOT PUNISH YOUR MUSIC ENOUGH
If you’re looking for an exercise in crippling works, no library will take you further than The Dark Side. With a vast collection of battered, battle-worn drums, guitars, keyboards and more, it was designed with the sole purpose of taking traditional instruments beyond recognizability and against bland, sterile recordings. It would be impossible to ask for more attitude and grunge than what is available to you here.

Additional Information :

ROCK, CRASH AND CRUNCH ANY SONG TO THE CONTENT OF YOUR HEART
If you need to push any instrument you can think of beyond recognizability with distortion, feedback, flutter, and more, The Dark Side is your welcome playground. Nearly every instrument has been recorded with intense effect chains, and the player interface contains even more ways to bury a range of sounds. You can create just about any grunge sound you want by pulling out one of these instruments and running it through a ring of intense FX.

DRUMS
They’ve been pressed so hard you might wonder if your speakers are crumbling. The fundamental tone of these kits is preserved, heavily compressed for percussive and explosive releases, and overloaded with a series of unforgiving analog distortion modules.

BASS
A top-notch collection of industrial basses and synths that form a solid foundation for low frequencies. They were subjected to a series of aggressive effects, turning them into monstrous force when combined with heavy drums.

GUITAR
A premium example of grunge from The Dark Side, these guitars will cut through any mix with confidence. They shine when you’re ready to give up melody control for unlimited power.

KEYS AND STRINGS
They were designed to be as unsettling as possible, whether it’s distortion or library-baked nail-on-the-chalkboard intervals. One note should be enough to make your listeners nervous.

TRADITIONAL AND CHORAS
Chopped, punished and overdriven, this collection is ideal if you want to add more organicity, but still need a big dose of sharpness.

TOOLS
A combination of instruments taken from other sections and subject to significant variations in effects and other processing. Feel free to make your own changes and save them as new .ewi files to remember them later!
