Discover the definitive collection of rare and unique instruments from around the globe with EastWest/Quantum Leap RA.
Immerse your compositions in the authentic sounds of Africa, Europe, India, the Americas, Australia, the Far East, and the Middle East and Turkish Empires.
RA is powered by EastWest’s advanced PLAY sample engine, ensuring an authentic and deeply expressive musical experience. This intelligent engine incorporates built-in sensing technology that meticulously monitors a player’s style, dynamically adjusting the software and sounds to match.
This results in an unprecedented level of detail, bringing your projects to life with remarkable range and emotion. The PLAY engine’s 64-bit support allows you to load significantly more instruments and voices, limited only by your system’s RAM.
It provides a clutter-free interface, displaying only the essential controls for each instrument collection. This intuitive design streamlines your workflow, allowing you to focus on creativity.
Experience the exceptional sound quality of RA, captured with a phase-accurate 8-mic setup. This meticulous recording process creates a complete 3-dimensional image of each instrument, ensuring clarity and breadth.
Premium microphones, including Neumann U67 (with U47 alternates), Neumann M50, AKG C12, and Shoepps, were utilized to achieve this pristine audio fidelity, making the sounds highly receptive to artificial or sampled reverb.
A unique aspect of RA is the inclusion of meticulously recorded ethnic ensembles, such as African drums, bagpipes, gamelan, and a Middle Eastern string section. These ensemble recordings provide a realism that cannot be replicated by layering solo instruments, adding unparalleled authenticity to your tracks.
