The Gold Edition Symphonic Orchestra Bundle is EASTWEST's most popular virtual orchestra, combining the original GOLD EDITION with the GOLD PROFESSIONAL EXPANSION (PRO XP).
"Across the board Pro XP's samples have a fatness to them that other libraries don't quite capture. Ultimately, the level of warmth and detail in the recordings, flexible ensemble sizes, and wide range of articulations make Pro XP an obvious choice for anyone whose goal is to produce ultra-realistic MIDI mockups." - KEYBOARD (Orchestral Library Roundup)

EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC CHOIRS - 9 DVDs
Imagine typing words into your computer, in any language, and hearing a world class Symphonic Choir sing those words in any key(s) you play "live" on your keyboard controller! Well imagine no more, that's exactly what this revolutionary "award-winning" virtual instrument does. In addition, this is the first 24-bit Choir virtual instrument to include three simultaneous stereo mic setups (close, stage and hall), so users can mix any combination of mic positions to control ambience. The Choirs were recorded in the same concert hall, by the same team as the EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and blend perfectly with EWQLSO.
"If you absolutely, positivelymust have the most natural and realistic choir (and you can’t afford to hire one), Symphonic Choirs is really the only choice, a clear Key Buy." - KEYBOARD
"Colossus was the clear choice for our Future Music Magazine Virtual Instrument of the Year A.C.E. Award." said Editor-in-Chief James Rotondi. "Its massive, comprehensive library of instruments, coupled with its top-tier, pro-level sound quality, made it the stand-out all-around virtual instrument of the year."
Certainly, the luxury of a 32GB “ROM set” is something you don’t find in typical keyboard workstations, and they’re right about ease of use — although operation is simple, not simplistic. So does it have you “completely covered?” Well, nothing can ever cover everything you could ever want. But I’ve yet to find something that comes as close as Colossus. Playing the sounds is a joy, and one can’t help but respect the obvious amount of work that went into creating this library. Overall, Colossus is a superb collection that puts the essentials — and more — in a convenient, well-rounded package that definitely delivers on its promise." - KEYBOARD

QUANTUM LEAP RA - 4 DVDs
"Quite simply, RA is the best collection of world or ethnic sampled instruments I've ever used. Ideal for anyone with an interest in these music styles, it ought to be of particular appeal to TV and film composers." - SOUND ON SOUND
"Ever wanted to fit the world of music into your audio sequencer? Now’s your chance. Quantum Leap has applied their insanely meticulous methodology to bring us RA, a highly musical collection of instruments from a wide variety of music cultures from around the world. Quantum Leap has another winner on their hands with RA." - KEYBOARD

QUANTUM LEAP STORMDRUM - 2 DVDs
"The content is classic film score stuff: big fat booming drums, smaller ethnic hand percussion, enough metallic hits to make a steelworker feel at home, and a range of acoustic kits. The ability to load up any patch and have a series of related loops synchronised to the tempo you want is heaven for any composer." - FUTURE MUSIC
"If you are looking for an atmospheric, top class collection of percussive loops and multi-samples that combine power with ease of use, then Stormdrum really should be at the top of your list" - DRUMMER
EASTWEST PERCUSSIVE ADVENTURES 2 - 1 DVD
"Almost every loop was a revelation in groove and creative sound design. So many loops inspired compositional ideas that it will be a long time before I can catch up. The multiplicity of editing features afforded by the Intakt engine expands the sound library's versatility immensely, and the sheer depth and beauty of the sound content puts Percussive Adventures 2 in a class by itself. If you're looking for powerful, malleable rhythm beds that can stand out in a crowd, I highly recommend this set." - ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN
"With over 70 expertly played, imaginatively produced and well-organised layers, this classy library looks set to build on the success of version 1, already popular with many film composers. Apparently, in the past, score-writers tended to lift only the full beds (mixes) and use them just as they are. But now, with the addition of Intakt, they’ll no doubt be tempted to experiment a lot more. Listen out for mangled military snare drums next time you visit the cinema." - MUSIC TECH
EASTWEST/PMI BOSENDORFER 290 GRAND PIANO - 1DVD
"Bottom line: This is the acoustic piano sample library to beat." - KEYBOARD
"As a musical instrument the Grandioso 290 really is a complete joy to play: the programming is first-rate, and the attention to detail is almost unparalleled" - SOUND ON SOUND
