EastWest Quantum Leap Pianos Platinum Bundle - Download

This virtual instrument includes four of the world's finest grand pianos: a Bechstein D-280, Steinway D, Bosendorfer 290, and Yamaha C7. EastWest/Quantum Leap spent two years recording, editing, and programming this detailed collection, with 3 mic positions for each piano. 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.
