Can EastWest / Quantum Leap improve on the most critically acclaimed, most award winning virtual orchestra ever produced? Quite simply: Yes! With the Symphonic Orchestra Gold Pro XP. The Gold Edition is EastWest's most popular virtual orchestra, offering unparalleled realism at an affordable price. This 21GB expansion more than doubles the size of the original version and includes the FREE player upgrade!

Developed by multiple award winning producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix. and recorded in a 'state of the art' concert hall by Grammy winning classical recording engineer Prof. Keith O. Johnson, this enormous 24-bit 138GB virtual instrument eclipses all others with the highest level of fidelity and realism.

Beyond the orchestra's phenomenal recording quality is its ability to breathe life into the virtual world, creating a real space and filling it with sound. In the past, this meant adding reverb and effects, further digitizing and degrading the overall quality of your music.

Why a concert hall? Because that's where orchestral instruments sound best! The end of every note (or release trail) on every instrument has the beautiful natural ambience of the hall; the EWQL software analyzes the amplitude of the waveform when the key is released, activating the release trail and adjusting the dynamics so the two samples blend seamlessly, truly placing the listener in the hall with the orchestra.

Gold Pro also features the revolutionary QLegato technology among its many articulation choices, enabling you to create unprecedentedly smooth connected lines at fast or slow speeds with the strings, woodwinds, and brass.

Gold Pro has the same articulations and instruments as the Platinum Edition making your compositions 100% upgradable to the same 24-bit quality and 3 mic position Platinum Edition, currently used by the who's who of the composing world.

Either as a standalone application or as a plugin in your favorite sequencing or notation program, this comprehensive virtual orchestra will truly transport you into the maestro's chair.

Original Platinum instruments and articulations added
The instruments and articulations that were not included in the original Gold Edition from the original Platinum Edition are included in Gold Pro. With these additions, when you are ready to move up to Platinum Pro XP your compositions will import perfectly.
