Quantum Leap SD2 - The Next Generation from EastWest is a virtual instrument, featuring 12GB of various acoustic percussion instruments, ranging from ethnic drums to found-sound percussion. Included are over one-hundred film score oriented MIDI performances, which allow for changing tempo, tuning individual instruments, altering the performances, all without audio degradation.

This collection is a follow up to the hugely successful Stormdrum, featuring over twice the content and with a built-in dedicated playback engine, the PLAY Advanced Sample Engine, which provides an easy searchable browser and the ability for users to customize the sounds. All the sounds were recorded using vintage Neumann microphone in EastWest's Studio 1.

Quantum Leap SD2 - The Next Generation functions as follows:

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

Comments about EastWest Quantum Leap SD2 - Virtual Instrument:

Great sounds and atmospheres for filmcomposers, the only issue about this powerful sampler is about its CPU consuming memory. So you'll need to have a very powerful computer to rocks with it!
A little bit complicated during installing and authorizing process, but after that..you'll have no more than fun with it!! Highly recommended!!

    Comments about EastWest Quantum Leap SD2 - Virtual Instrument:

    I get a dynamic sound easily best like Quantum Leap Storm Drum of a previous work. Profound feeling & impact sound is emitted by all genres. The sound doesn't get tired abundantly. It opposite, is a lot, and do it embarrass it?
