The Gold Edition of the EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP Symphonic Orchestra is EASTWEST's most popular virtual orchestra blending unparalleled realism with an amazing price. Each instrument and orchestral section in the Gold Pro Bundle was chromatically recorded by Grammy award winning engineer Prof. Keith O. Johnson in a 125 million dollar concert hall. 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 music 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. 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.

no sampler required!
The Gold 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). The Gold Edition can also be loaded into KONTAKT (from version 1.5) for even greater flexibility and more options for working with the sound material.

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 adventurous 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.

• The Gold Edition includes all sections of a Symphonic Orchestra - Strings Woodwinds Brass and Orchestral Percussion

• The Gold Edition includes the vast majority of instruments and articulations from the Platinum Edition - except it includes stereo samples similar to other orchestral sample libraries (Platinum Edition is multi-channel)

• The Gold Edition includes release trails (additional reverb and other effects are also included in the NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KOMPAKT software)

• The Gold Edition includes the same KOMPAKT sample player software from NATIVE INSTRUMENTS as the Platinum Edition but requires much less processing power. If you are using other high-end sample libraries it will run on your current system (see system specifications)

• The Gold 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 Gold Edition is upward compatible with the Platinum Edition; compositions created in the Gold Edition can be played back in the Platinum Edition - 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 EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP Symphonic Gold Pro Bundle was produced by Doug Rogers And Nick Phoenix who collectively have received over 40 international awards for virtual instruments and sample libraries they have created
