For everyone else, this set is a bargain, yes even at nearly $1,000. This may be a draw back to those with a heavy investment in certain specific titles.
QUANTUM LEAP EAST WEST HOLLYWOOD STRINGS WIKI PRO
The KONTACT player worked flawlessly in Pro Tools 6.7 under OS 10.3.7 and Logic 7.1 under OS 10.4.Ībout half of the sounds in Colossus are from other EW/QL sample libraries. The Colossus sounds are brighter and more detailed than the sounds I had originally played on my Kurzweil PC88. I used Colossus strings, trombones and French Horns as a replacement for previously recorded keyboard parts on a CD I’m producing.

The orchestral sounds are of excellent quality and suitable for quick and simple symphonic arrangements and pop/rock recordings. The new ethnic sounds are gorgeous and cover most of the world’s regions at some level. I was impressed by the quality and scope of Colossus. The new 2GB Fazioli piano is darker and would be at home playing Debussy or a moody Thomas Newman score. The main piano is a versatile bright Steinway that will sound familiar to owners of EASTWEST piano libraries such as the Pro Samples volume 8. The keyboards include two grand pianos, a honky-tonk, Rhodes, Clavinet, church organs, B3 and Farfisa. The General MIDI set is augmented with pop brass sounds and a choir with vowel sound cross fades.

There are stock synthesizer leads and basses and some very cool dark atmospherics collectively known as, “Stormdrone.” Most of these use the mod wheel to morph between sounds. Several ambient textures are provided in the New Age “ensembles.” I found them very colorful and easy to play. The acoustic Washburn was one of my favorites – suited for pop and world music. The guitar family includes 60’s electrics, blues, electric sitar, banjo, Hawaiian and lapsteel as well as acoustic, fretted and fretless basses. The percussion highlights include electronic, ethnic, orchestral and drum kits for rock, jazz, Hip Hop and country. The instruments represented here are suited to rock, pop, jazz, country, classical and ethnic/world genres. The other half were newly recorded at 24-bit resolution at Ocean Way Studio B. Many of the instruments use key switching to enable real-time articulation control.Īpproximately half of the disk space is used by a selection of samples from previous EW/QL titles. Whereas typical keyboards use file size compression to squeeze samples into read-only memory, Colossus takes about 32 GB of hard drive to store all the samples and articulations for its 160 instruments.

Imagine the variety of sounds in a professional keyboard workstation with huge storage and you will have an idea of breadth and depth of Colossus. My first criterion for choosing an instrument is very simple. I’ve purchased over a dozen keyboards in the 30+ years that I’ve been composing and performing.

Ra is a collection of ethnic world instrument sounds. Three recent products from EASTWEST/Quantum Leap have answered the call with higher resolution, increased variety and real-time performance features.Ĭolossus is a general-purpose library, which is modeled after the variety of sounds found in a typical keyboard workstation. Streaming sample libraries are increasingly taking advantage of the faster storage interfaces, faster CPUs and increased RAM on today’s personal computers.
