2. What is Heavyocity?
Dave Fraser and Neil Goldberg, both successful composers, founded the precursor to Heavyocity, a creator team called Heavy Melody Music, in 2003.
In 2006, the idea of creating cutting-edge virtual instruments capable of delivering world-class sounds became a new focus for the Heavy Melody team. They quickly established Heavyocity Media, Inc. and embarked on developing their first virtual instrument, EVOLVE.
This marked the beginning of Heavyocity. While Heavyocity has developed numerous sound sources, one of their highly popular products is the plugin effect PUNISH.
