EastWest Altered States - Virtuoso Sound Design Virtual Instrument - Mac OS X and Windows XP

Altered States from Zero-G and distributed by EastWest is a huge virtual instrument comprising almost 5GB of data with 3,499 instrument patches and thousands of unique source sounds. The sound designer and electronic musician will find source material that is extremely organic, unique and creative. The massive library includes a plug-in audio engine/interface from Native Instruments, based on their INTAKT virtual sampler and which is specifically designed for rhythmic loop playback and manipulation.

Altered States is based on ten of Zero-G's best selling sample libraries. All the sounds have been reorganized and re-categorized from the original and integrated with over a 1GB of additional material. In the rhythm department alone, there are thousands of loops, all presented in sliced format via the NI INTAKT Beat Machine or Time Machine, allowing the source material to automatically synchronize with a song, while sound-shaping can be applied to each slice if required.

Altered States functions as follows:

• Stand-alone under ASIO, Core Audio or DirectSound
• Plug-in for applications supporting VST, AU and RTAS for Mac OS X
• Plug-in for applications supporting VST and DXi for Windows XP
