East West Quantum Leap Gypsy review

http://www.floridamusicco.com/proddetail~prod~ew172%5Fgypsy.htm
East West QUANTUM LEAP GYPSY features a collection of detailed virtual instruments capable of playing completely realistic performances. This product is mostly intended for film, tv and game composers.
The nylon string guitar, violin and trombone can play in both gypsy and classical styles. In the classical realm these three instruments are unparalleled in the sampling world in terms of playability, diversity and sound quality.

The new king of sampled violins has arrived. The violin and trombone feature many articulations, repetitions and even true legato intervals. All of the guitars were sampled with up and down strokes, many velocities and picking styles, release trails, chords and effects.

GYPSY's guitars sound incredible and were played by one of the best session guitarists in Los Angeles, David Kole.

The accordions feature many different setups, all with air flow in and out samples as well as expressive samples, chords and left hand bass.

GYPSY also has a very cool gypsy percussion program and two flamenco dancers foot stomps as well as traditional castanets.

PLAY Advanced Sample Engine:
PLAY is a 64-bit Advanced Sample Engine with built-in Network Control (plug-in or standalone). PLAY is included with all new EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP Virtual (software) Instruments.

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:
-Offers native support for more platforms than any other software engine
-Network support for large studios, expandable systems

Load MORE thanks to 64-bit support**
-64-bit support** allows you to load many more instruments and voices, limited only by your system
RAM (32-bit support is included also)
-While most high-end computers will support 16Gb (8 times as much memory is now usable), a very small
set of high-performance enterprise computers (with Microsoft Vista Ultimate) can already use 128Gb of
RAM. As hardware develops, the theoretical limit is 17,179,869,184 gigabytes = 16 exabytes, or 17
billion gigabytes!

-If you still need more power, our built-in NETWORK CONTROL allows you to load instruments on other
machines controlled from your host computer

i've tested this library in a friend's house, and i can tell that the part that sounds in 2:19 IT'S ACTUALLY PLAYED IN A REAL GUITAR, IS NOT THE SOUND OF THE LIBRARY!

and you can realize this in the tremolo that sounds in 2:26 it's impossible to archieve that, playing with a freakin keyboard, east west are a liers with this demo...

[floridamusiccompany]

@PCGamesClassic

The best plug for the software i ever seen, it really convinced you its a real guitar!.

But its not it's me Chris Brackenbury playing it live with a midi keyboard and Gipsy software in the stand alone play engine.

[ShockTactix]

Is this compatible with Logic?

[floridamusiccompany]

@ShockTactix

yes

[tastelesstouch]

When used as VST plug-in will Quantum Leap engine update the samples to the tempo of your song that you're using it as a plugin for?

[floridamusiccompany]

@tastelesstouch

No its not needed as all but a few are strait samples, you have to play them ( NO LOOPS) .

regards chris

[MrIlfigo]

Can i use it with Fl Studio and without keyboard? who knows???

[sonicx2021]

@PCGamesClassic your an idiot no shit it was a guitar do your re research on how east west creates there sounds first all of the samples in this were recorded in a sound studio there real instruments

@1984XS

Nice I just bought 7 EWQL libraries today and waiting for them to be delivered... i'm so excited

[baswelsink]

@PCGamesClassic There has been made lot of music with these instruments of eastwest for movies etc. without anybody noticing that they are actually made with vsts, because these vsts are so good. if you are searching for realistic vsts eastwest is the best. people who don't work with these products daily please don't comment like you know anything about the product because you might make people not want to buy it, therefore they will miss the greatest experience with vsts!

[baswelsink]

@PCGamesClassic your comment really convinced me that you know nothing about this product it is not fake i got a couple of eastwest play engines including gypsy. You played maybe once or twice with this software i do this everyday, it is possible but it takes time to learn all the tricks and stuff like that. So please don't talk about subjects you really know nothing about. This what you have seen is nothing yet it's capable of sick things.

[Drfresh1402]

@PCGamesClassic You need a better midi controller and better skills. Touch sensitivity on your keyboard makes all the difference. i have this plugin and it is capable of doing even more insane stuff.

[Drfresh1402]

@PCGamesClassic Dude you are crazy. You dont know how to use the plugin. Just say that.

[duongngocvuminh]

Hello,which EWQL that i can import midi file?
