QUANTUM LEAP GYPSY features a collection of detailed virtual instruments capable of playing completely realistic performances. This product is mostly intended for film, tv and game composers.

The nylon string guitar, violin and trombone can play in both gypsy and classical styles. In the classical realm these three instruments are unparalleled in the sampling world in terms of playability, diversity and sound quality.

The new king of sampled violins has arrived. The violin and trombone feature many articulations, repetitions and even true legato intervals. All of the guitars were sampled with up and down strokes, many velocities and picking styles, release trails, chords and effects.
GYPSY's guitars sound incredible and were played by one of the best session guitarists in Los Angeles, David Kole.

The accordions feature many different setups, all with air flow in and out samples as well as expressive samples, chords and left hand bass.
GYPSY also has a very cool gypsy percussion program and two flamenco dancers foot stomps as well as traditional castanets.
