EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Silver Edition

The SILVER EDITION of the “critically acclaimed” EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA includes 16-bit stereo samples from the PLATINUM EDITION (which is multi-channel), at a fraction of the cost, and was recorded where orchestral instruments sound their most natural - in a ‘state of the art’ Concert Hall.

Listen to the pure beauty of the Symphonic Orchestra and 125 million dollar Concert Hall that were recorded with the HIGHEST-QUALITY custom built recording equipment, by audio legend - Prof. Keith O. Johnson - recipient of two GRAMMYS, plus eight additional GRAMMY nominations for his 90 plus Classical Recordings.

The SILVER EDITION is a MAC/PC Plug-In (compatible with most music software), and has been designed to be extremely FAST and EASY TO USE. For Educators and Students, create compositions in your classroom, or your dormitory; for Composers “on the road”, create music on planes, hotel rooms, etc. on your laptop. If you upgrade to the GOLD or PLATINUM EDITIONS later, your compositions will be FULLY COMPATIBLE, providing a known upgrade path to “the best sounding orchestral sample library ever” - no other product offers this!

OVERVIEW

• The SILVER EDITION includes all sections of a Symphonic Orchestra - Strings, Woodwinds, Brass, and Orchestral Percussion - plus - a Steinway Grand Piano, a Pipe Organ and Female and Male Choirs.
• The SILVER EDITION includes both solo instruments and sections.
• The SILVER EDITION includes the same KOMPAKT sample player software from NATIVE INSTRUMENTS as the PLATINUM EDITION, but requires much less processing power - in fact, you can use the SILVER EDITION on most laptops and computer systems (see system specifications).
• The SILVER EDITION includes Integrated high-quality reverb, delay, and other effects.
• The SILVER EDITION can be imported into KONTAKT** (from version 1.5), for even greater flexibility and more options for working with the sound material (for example - creating your own programs).
• The SILVER EDITION is completely upward compatible with the GOLD and PLATINUM EDITIONS. Compositions created in the SILVER EDITION can be played back in the GOLD and PLATINUM EDITIONS (at 24-bit, and with the other mic positions included in the PLATINUM EDITION) - providing users with a known upgrade path at any time.
• The SILVER EDITION includes a special version of EASTWEST's critically acclaimed STEINWAY B GRAND PIANO.
• The SILVER EDITION includes a PIPE ORGAN (that was once played by MOZART!) from POST MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
• The SILVER EDITION includes FEMALE and MALE CHOIRS from QUANTUM LEAP "VOICES OF THE APOCALYPSE" - recipient of KEYBOARD magazine’s "KEY BUY AWARD” and SOUND ON SOUND (UK) magazine's "FIVE STAR AWARD".

All of the players were recorded in position. All of the instruments and sections were sampled, with multiple dynamics, with extremely dynamic and expressive articulations, and most important - it has been programmed to be "extremely fast and easy to use".

The EASTWEST / QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA was produced by Doug Rogers from EASTWEST and Nick Phoenix from QUANTUM LEAP, who collectively have received over 30 international awards for sample libraries they have created.

NO SAMPLER REQUIRED!

The SILVER EDITION of the EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA comes as a VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT which includes a high-performance NATIVE INSTRUMENTS interface powered by the efficient KONTAKT audio engine, including Direct-from-Disk*, for Mac and PC (*With freely-downloadable Direct-from-Disk extension).

Each VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT in the collection combines intuitive handling with excellent sound quality, and functions as a plug-in instrument, without the need for a sampler.
For the sonically adventureous, many sound shaping tools have been built in to the interface. Powerful multi-mode filters, envelopes, and LFOs give a wealth of creative possibilities. Integrated high-quality reverb, chorus, and delay effects are also provided.

Direct from Disk playback easily handles large samples beyond available RAM (which is assignable).
Professional sound quality with advanced 32-bit processing, and 256 voice polyphony allow for lush arrangements. The clean and intuitive interface never lets the technology get in the way of your creativity. All important instrument parameters can be immediately adjusted without the need to page, scroll, or fumble through a manual.
