husker Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago That's crazy. I paid around $100 for the Ra, Silk, and Gypsy bundle sometime this year, and I felt I got a good deal then. Now adding one of their newest libraries? Wow... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t get RA but the guitar in Gypsy is still top notch. Lots of articulations in that library too, as well as in Silk (while less in RA). Then that new Ancient Kingdom is heaven on earth for a flautist like me. Those other bundles are at least as good, the largest one being the best (if you’re into orchestral, of course) but the middle one is pretty pretty good too, containing three of their newer libs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Thinking about Ancient Kingdom but it's over 130gb. I guess hoarding EW libraries is my next thing. That library seems to have mixed reactions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I have an ancient CD demo set of the stuff in the Ancient bundle, I think it was for gigasampler; partial ranges of various instruments. I converted them to wave files so I could test them out, not having GS, and used a few bits in The Skaergaard Intrusion (newer, better mix) and The Tomorrow Option (older, needs serious mix work) as various backing sounds. Probably in other stuff too, over the years, but those are the only ones I know for sure as I set out specifically to use some of those kinds of instruments, and they were the only good samples I had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Ancient Kingdom is Eastwest’s newest library, dedicated to specific wind instruments, played by Saulius Petreikis: “Saulius Petreikis is a Lithuanian composer and wind instrument virtuoso, known for blending ancient Samogitian-Baltic harmonies with global World Music traditions. Over the past 20 years, he has released 11 original albums, contributed to more than 30 others, and performed in major international projects such as Two Steps From Hell, Hans Zimmer: A New Dimension, and The World of Hans Zimmer – An Immersive Symphony. Mastering over 50 unique wind instruments, Saulius electrifies audiences with spirit-lifting improvisations and genre-defying performances that resonate worldwide. He also composes for film, theater, and video games, collaborating with artists across disciplines to create powerful, boundary-breaking works, leaving a profound mark on the global music scene.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I dug out the cd set, it's from 2001 (did not realize I'd had it that long!). Looks like I was mistaken; the cover art style is so similar between what I have and what the ones in the Ancient Bundle look like, I made an assumptive connection in my miswired brain. (EDIT: at the end of the booklet it actually does say QL was part of East West, so I guess that's why it looks so similar). It was Quantum Leap Products Rare Instruments for Gigastudio, and appears to be the actual library rather than a demo, though it's still just partial ranges, perhaps that's just all the viable sample range of each particular instrument. It includes Far East, Middle East & India, and Europe. I think the biggest instrument on it is a whopping 148mb....but even so, theyre very nice. I can only imagine their libraries have gotten better over the years as space has become less of a consideration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
