Impact Soundworks Traveler Series: Bodhrans & Bones is a premium virtual instrument library that captures the authentic sound and spirit of traditional Irish percussion. Recorded on location in Dublin, Ireland, this collection features six distinct bodhrans and two sets of bones, each meticulously sampled to deliver rich, vibrant, and expressive tones.

The bodhran, a classic Irish frame drum, is sampled with five different stick types including wood tipper, hotrod tipper, loose brush, tight brush, and fingers. Each drum is recorded across multiple zones—center, mid, edge, rim, and shell—allowing for a wide dynamic range and nuanced playing techniques. With realistic pitch control and dampening options, users can easily shape the sound to fit any musical context.

The bones, traditional rhythm instruments in Irish music, come in ebony and organic varieties. Each set includes hits and rolls with multiple velocity layers and up to 20 round robins per hit, ensuring natural variation and lifelike performance.

The library features a modern, user-friendly interface with a streamlined mic mixer, simple mapping, and performance controls. An 8-slot FX rack offers over 25 built-in effects modules, giving users extensive sound design possibilities.

This collection is ideal for composers and producers looking to add authentic Irish percussion to their projects, whether for film, TV, video games, or world music compositions. The detailed sampling and flexible controls provide an expressive and versatile toolkit for creating compelling rhythms and textures.
