Comprehensive instrument collection for versatile music productions

EastWest expands its Colossus library to 8 GB and now calls it Goliath. No matter what kind of music you're into, Goliath has you covered. The library consists of 40 GB of samples in 24 bit and 44.1 kHz and contains acoustic and electronic drums, acoustic and electric guitars, basses, choirs, strings, brass, exotic instruments, organs, pianos and synthesizers. Also included is an FX folder with heavily processed samples, each about 60 seconds long, for wackier effects. Goliath has adopted the simulated artificial double tracking technology from the Fab Four library.

The included EastWest PLAY advanced sample engine reliably integrates the samples into any 64-bit-capable DAW and enables extensive arrangement of the various sound parameters and articulation, which is implemented by the software by selecting the appropriate samples. The volume curve can also be shaped with an AHDSR envelope. Round robin articulation is used for fast repetitions: instead of the same sample, different samples of the same articulation type are played alternately to prevent an artificial impression. This creates a natural, even sound, even with fast 16th note staccato. naturally, a comprehensive stereo output is supported. The plug-in also contains high-quality effect processors for reverb and delay.
