Justin Crosby (Talk to me movie trailer) Review
“I used a ton of the foley/SFX layers form Kinetic Metal & Kinetic Toys in a horror trailer cue I did in 2021 that was just used in the trailer for Talk to Me.. I also used the synthesis engine to create some beds as well... I thought you might enjoy seeing some of your handiwork, as those samples are a big part of what made the cue really stand out when they were looking for the right piece of music.
I hope you continue to develop instruments, and/or release sound libraries, you have a genuinely unique sound that lends itself to horror in a fantastic way.”

Sound On Sound Review
"An intriguing and often unsettling Kontakt library, Acousmatic Engine explores future retro and Gothic‑influenced sound design to conjure a world of dank cellars, flickering lightbulbs and leering spectral apparitions. Brooding atmospheres morph with rhythmic pulses, granulated textures and melodious elements that are mixed, modulated and warped in diverse ways by the Engine.
Expert mode reveals a masterpiece of steampunk design, with one of the most intricate Kontakt GUIs I’ve seen. Acousmatic Engine will resonate strongly with sound effects designers of all persuasions. No doubt we’ll be hearing it in games, sci‑fi and horror movies very soon.” 5 out of 5 Stars!

Darryl Havers Review
“This is the single most evocative sound set I have ever encountered. It is so beautifully crafted and absolutely creatively designed. I am just astounded. It’s like these sounds I have always imagined and dreamed of having at my fingertips and now I do. Thank you for realizing this incredible program.

amazona.de Review
“The layers of sound and worlds of noise get under your skin. The mix of acoustic and electronic sound events are highly creative and impressive. There is a lot of attention to detail and the variety of sounds is really amazing. Thus I was very surprised that so much commitment costs only $99. I had first dealt with the product, edited it and played sounds and then looked for the price, which I would have easily estimated at least three times as much. So hats off. This thing is great.”

Sample Library Review
“Acousmatic Engine explores conceptual textured worlds inside an interface that is a beacon of creativity. Best known for the Kinetic Metals library, the developer steps up the controlled chaotic sound design with a massive unique collection of presets with shifting pads, morphing textures, and percussive treasures.”
