POWERED BY EASTWEST'S PLAY 64-bit Advanced Sample Engine
- Incredibly detailed Silk Road instruments from China, Persia and India. The most ambitious ethnic instrument ever created
- 25 gig instrument: 20 gigs of multi-samples and 5 gigs of authentic performances
- Recorded legato intervals for erhu, zhonghu, jinhu, electric cello, kemenche, duduk, 30 piece string section, dilruba, bansuri
- Recorded by master musicians using vintage Neumann microphones, Neve consoles and Meitner converters
- PLAY 32 bit/64 bit interface features state of the art convolution reverb, scripting and revolutionary micro-tuning system
All instruments featured in SILK are multi-sampled with extreme attention to detail offering the maximum in expression. Quantum Leap SILK contains extensive articulations, interval sampling (where appropriate), round robin (alternate samples), legato scripting, and phrases to give the feeling of smooth effortless performance - like silk. Each musician recorded for SILK is a master of his instrument, providing the best and most accurate sound available. SILK also allows users to adapt the instruments using dozens of useful micro tunings in the key of their choice. This microtuning system is the first of its kind, and is a true breakthrough for PLAY.
Intended as an extension of Quantum Leap RA, Quantum Leap SILK looks to give users access to rare instruments from across Asia played masterfully by renowned artists. Extensive scripting is employed in SILK along with the PLAY 64-bit (with 32-bit capability) sample engine, offering composers great control over the end result. This is a powerful combination, making it a great interface for these sounds. SILK is revolutionary in that the microtuning and scales actually teach users how to employ these sounds in an authentic way.
