Product Description

Recorded where orchestral instruments sound their most natural: in a state-of-the-art concert hall. Sounds were captured by audio legend Prof. Keith O. Johnson using custom-built recording equipment. This is the first 24-bit orchestral sample library to include 3 simultaneous stereo mic setups (close, stage, and hall), so users can mix together any combination of mic positions to control tonality and ambience. A major benefit of this recording philosophy is the tonal control the 3 simultaneous stereo tracks provide. Users can literally alter the tone and ambience of any instrument or section by incrementally moving out from the close mics, to the stage mics, to the hall mics (an audio zoom) in real time!This virtual repositioning of the listener in a concert hall environment offers a surprising amount of tonal control, virtually eliminating the need for EQ; and the ambient control, using any combination of these 3 stereo tracks, eliminates the need for artificial reverb (which usually sounds artificial).You can create the sound you want. With other orchestral libraries, you get what they give you, and apart from adding reverb and EQ, you have virtually no control over the sound of the instruments. The control of tonality and ambience in Quantum Leap enables each user to design the sound of the orchestra to suit the work that is being created - no other orchestral collection offers this!Use the stage mics... ...

The M-Tron? is a software simulation of the classic tape playing instrument the Mellotron?. The M-Tron is available for both Mac and PC platforms and contains 28 classic Tape Banks including Strings, Choirs, Flutes and Brass along with some of the most amazing rhythms you'll ever hear!When pressed, each key on the original instrument moved a tape head onto a piece of tape to play the note or sound. In order that to replicate the original instrument's tone as closely as possible each individual tape has been sampled and coded into the M-Tron. Each key on the M-Tron plays an individual recording of these tapes. Once the eight seconds of tape has been played it is simply re-wound. As with the original there are no loop points giving the instrument a unique playing characteristic.PowerMac 604e 200MHzAt least 128Mb of RAM256K Second Level CacheMacOS 8.5 or laterA VST 2.0 compatible host application that supports VST instruments or an OS X application that supports AudioUnits.Intel Pentium II 300 MHzAt least 96Mb of RAMAll current Windows versionsA VST 2.0 compatible host application that supports VST instruments. ...

Tales of topographical oceans...nights in white satin...more
The Mellotron was by far one of the most innovative instruments of the 20th century.Early adopters included the Moody Blues, Genesis, Yes and Elton John.The ability to play full fidelity (at that time) sounds of orchestras, instruments, choirs and more at the pitch requested became an artists dream.

The M-Tron is just as innovative.Using the current VSTi instrument wave (from Steinberg) standard, you can play the same sounds used by the Beatles, Moody Blues, Genesis, Yes (tales of topographical oceans anyone?) and more.The first set comes with 27 or so sound banks, the additiional banks (Vol 1-3) have sounds that were never available publicly (Frank Zappa and Moody Blues amongst them).

By far, the M-Tron is a great addition to anyone's DAW. ... Read more

GForce?s Minimonsta is an expert emulation of the classic Minimoog that was at the forefront of the analog synth revolution and popularized by artists like Jan Hammer, Rick Wakeman, Keith Emerson, Gary Numan and Kraftwerk. Enhancements include polyphony, programmability, morphing, additional LFO and ADSR, and delay. Stand-alone or host operation.  Incredible Realism The people at GForce have a passion for one thing?incredibly realistic emulations of vintage keyboards. The Minimonsta is completely faithful in its reproduction of the original Minmoog, known to be one of the biggest, fattest sounds from any era. Everything that made the Minimoog so popular is here: 3 VCOs, pink/white noise generator, famous Moog 4-pole 24dB/octave low-frequency VCF, 2 ADSRs, external input, mixer, glide and more. If you?ve worked with a Minimoog before, you?ll be blown away at the realism (not to mention the fact that it stays in rock-solid tuning). And if you?ve never had the experience, this classic synth emulation is sure to bring you as much inspiration as it did for the pioneering electronic musicians of the day.  Programming and Enhanced Control The Minimonsta has some features the original Minimoog designers never even dreamed of. For starters, the Minimonsta doesn?t go out of tune or suffer from dirty knobs and switches. It?s also programmable?complete with over 2500 great presets. All parameters map to standard MIDI controllers as well, so you can reco... ... Read more
