Strike Gold with this excellent symphonic orchestra sample library.

EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra is known for the warmth and detail of the sounds it produces. With the incorporation of PLAY, users of the upgraded EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra will experience the benefits of the an even better sample engine immediately. With the typical orchestral composition encompassing a large amount of instruments, EASTWEST's PLAY software will streamline the process by allowing many more instruments to be loaded at one time than with previous systems. This Gold Complete version features 33GB worth of material, with 16-bit samples, each with one stagr mic position and full articulations.

Beyond EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic 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. Now, EastWest/Quantum Leap accomplish this through separately recording the natural hall ambiance after the instrument has stopped playing until the sound has actually ceased. The software triggers this "release trail" at the end of every note and adjusts the dynamics so that the samples blend seamlessly, truly placing the listener in the hall with the orchestra.

PLAY
PLAY isn't just a sampler. The PLAY system is a professional, fully integrated sample playback software solution for those with the most demanding production requirements. Its 64-bit support (available as a download for Mac users) allows you to load many more instruments and voices, limited only by your system RAM. 32-bit support is included also.

If you still need more power, PLAY's network control allows you to load instruments on other machines controlled from your host computer. That means no more trips back and forth between computers and no more KVM switching when loading projects. There's also no need to buy additional software.

The PLAY interface is designed to eliminate clutter, including only the controls needed for each individual virtual instrument. All the instruments are listed in one easy-to-use browser which displays all of your instruments. It includes a favorites section to group the instruments you use most. You can also preview your instrument of choice in an simplified column viewer. Load instruments into one instance to take advantage of your sequencer's instrument tracks, or into multiples if you so desire.
The Interface automatically changes to display current instrument whatever you do.

As far as articulations, you can forget browsing through complicated patch names. Just pick the instrument and play, and turn on/off articulations as you wish. The Articulations list also serves as reference for all expressions within the instrument (no need to look up key-switches in charts). Save your favorite configuration for quick retrieval.

PLAY is full of many other helpful features too. It has a legato detection that senses legato and repetitive playing and responds accordingly. It allows you to manipulate stereo samples in very useful ways, like the Stereo Swap which lets you instantly swap the left and right channels (Mono from left, Mono from right, or Mono Sum allow for instant conversion from stereo to mono). Th playback engine was built from the ground up to create the most intuitive instruments possible. The powerful effects engine has a reverb section which includes multiple impulse responses from halls, and the famous EastWest Studios and live chambers (more RIAA certified Platinum and Gold records awarded than any other studio). It also gives you incredibly smoothest filters. The iLok security system that PLAY uses ensures you complete portability, allowing you take your plug-in anywhere you want for use on any computer, and to authorize and manage up to 100 per one key.

PLAY is natively supported in all major hosts on all major operating systems.

  • Amazing Samples

    As reviewed by Noah Angott on 5/10/2011

    I got the chance to play with some of these samples with the free edition EastWest released some time ago. I can honestly say I was blown away by the amazing quality of the samples and how well the blended together. Some samples may sound somewhat synthetic at times, but if you use them right they sound just beautiful, and extremely realistic. The velocities are great; the timbre of the sample changes as you increase it's velocity just like a real instrument. All in all, this library is the perfect tool for experienced musicians looking to produce near-real quality audio of their music. But, I have one reccomendation. This should be used with sequencers only (Cubase, FL Studio, etc.) and not Notation Programs (Finale, Sibelius), as the sequencers offer the most control over these amazing samples.

  • Realistic sound!

    As reviewed by Roberto Sunga on 4/4/2011

    These were my first orchestra samples, with them I learned everything about sampling. I must say these samples sound 100% real if you know how to use them, they have all the instruments and articulations you need along with solo instruments and some very cool violin, bass, cello effects if you are using these for your scary movie score. It has lyric violins and cellos which you can use for very emotional music. Overall I love these samples and I use them for my symphonic metal band. It's totally worth the money!
