1 Introduction

Thank

you for choosing DAMAGE: the ultimate virtual instrument for epic, hard-hitting

percussion, stylized with a gritty, hybrid sound. Building on the success of the critically

acclaimed Evolve and Evolve Mutations series, the team at Heavyocity has taken almost 2

years to capture hundreds of unique drum and percussion sources. The resulting collection

combines organic drums with eccentric percussion and found sounds (eg. exploding cars

and broken pianos) fused into tempo-synced rhythmic loop suites and menu style percus-

sive hits and kits.

Ranging in character from deeply organic to heavily processed, the sound of DAMAGE is

diverse. Its intuitive user interfaces are designed to provide unprecedented control. Its fea-

tures include a 3 mic position mixer and stage for more than 200 deeply multi-sampled

drum and percussion sources; an expanded Trigger FX section to mangle and tweak loops

and single shot drum kits on the fly; a radical new Loop Modifier which enables users to

remix loops like never before; a midi drag to host for altering and remapping loops in a

DAW; and DAMAGE’s signature PUNISH knob, a unique combination of saturation, com-

pression, and distortion that adds impact, punch, and explosive energy to the instrument.

Go forth and DAMAGE!
