After two years of recording, editing, and programming, EastWest/Quantum Leap proudly present the most detailed collection of the world's finest grand pianos ever recorded in one of the 'temples of sound', EastWest Studios (more RIAA certified platinum and gold records awarded than any other recording studios) with 3 mic positions for each piano.

This virtual instrument includes a Steinway D. The Play interface includes impulses from the same hall the producers used to record Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choirs so the pianos can blend with those collections.

EastWest/Quantum Leap Pianos Gold Edition, which provides only the player's perspective mics and 16-bit samples, is available for users with less powerful systems. A low-cost upgrade path is available for users of the Gold Edition who wish to move up to the Full Edition.

Additional close mics version engineered by Ken Scott (Elton John, Supertramp, David Bowie, Beatles).

Features:

  • Load any piano or mic position individually (each piano is approx. 60GBs).
  • 3 positions are included per piano for maximum flexibility.
  • 10-18 velocities per note of sustain and sustain with pedal.
