Hammers + Waves has an extraordinary amount of content. If you are looking for a collection of various keyboard or mallet-based instruments, this is a great collection full of impeccable sampling. If you want to take it further with almost infinite sound design capabilities, then this is one hundred percent for you. I have spent hours just playing around with Hammer+Waves, creating not only weird and wonderful sounds but absolutely beautiful cinematic sounds. This is an instrument full of incredible sounds and enormous, never-ending possibilities. Well thought out, well presented and just all-around fantastic.
