"I've always loved Heavyocity because of their bold and inyour face approach to sound design. The standalone PUNISH effect is everything I hoped it would be. So far I've used it on percussion and synths for that extra bity of mean and nasty, and I look forward to trying it out on pretty much everything else. Thank you Heavyocity for this dangerous new tool."
