Orchestral Samples- 2004

[David Coscina 3]

I've been composing on MIDI equipment since the mid-'80's and I've always wanted better orchestral samples seeing that I don't have the money to have every idea played by real musicians (pity). So I've been investigating small packages like Garritan Personal Orchestra and such. Well, for the same amount of money, I wisely went with the East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Silver Edition. It is a virtual orchestra at your fingertips. Used as a plug-in with Sonar or Cubase, you can load 8 banks with 8 insstruments per bank totalling 64 instruments. That, coupled with the keyswitch programs that allow the composer to change articulations in realtime (using the bottom keys on an 88 note keyboard) from i.e. staccato to legato to arco to whole or half tone trills. Very very cool. And the sounds are uniformly great.

For $240 (US) this is an exceptional value which actually sounds really good. I've included an example to give you an idea. Everything on this track from the piano (Steinway sample) to horns, trilling flutes, percussion, everything was done using the EWQLSO Silver Edition as a Dxi plug-in with Sonar 3.11
