Description : Welcome to ReForged, the third virtual instrument from Impact Soundworks, focused on unique, hybrid cinematic sounds for film, TV and game composers. ReForged takes you on a journey through a world of forgotten metal objects, recorded in a barn in the quiet South Wales countryside and then transformed into something completely new. ReForged features a large array of metal objects used as percussion instruments – an old stove, metal shovels, a rake , a bathtub, petrol cans and more. The resulting material is ideal for soundtracks and sound design.

Welcome to ReForged: Cinematic Metallic Sound Design, our third virtual instrument focusing on unique, hybrid sounds for modern film, TV, and game composer. Recorded and produced by sound designer Ali Lacey, ReForged explores the world of forgotten metals captured in a shed within the quiet countryside of South Wales… and as the name suggests, transforms them into something entirely new.

ReForged features an array of found metal objects performed as if they were percussive instruments: an old cooker, metal shovels, rakes, a tin bath, gas canisters, and much more. These unique objects were hammered, struck, tapped, and resonated using a wide variety of both conventional and not-so-conventional techniques.

From this pool of beautifully-captured natural recordings, we crafted a new collection of designed material โ€“ cinematic impacts, sweeps, noises, rhythmic loops, glitches, sub strikes, tonal atmospheres, dark textures, and beyond. This evocative material is a perfect toolkit for soundtracks, scoring, and further sound design, fueled by a molten core of iron, steel, tin, copper, and aluminum.

To tie the natural and designed worlds of ReForged together, we have presented the library as a complete WAV collection (nearly 2,000 sounds) and a set of Kontakt patches with a sleek, modern sound engine. From subtle tweaks to dramatic alterations, the interface of ReForged: Cinematic Metallic Sound Design will provide you with endless variation and inspiration for your compositions.
