Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Quantum Leap's Gypsy is an incredibly well done piece of sampling work. The classical guitar and violin have levels of detail that I never imagined were possible. I continue to be amazed by EastWest studios' attention to detail. Other notable instruments are the spanish steel guitar, and the trombone, which play very well and sound great. The flamenco and django guitars sound impressively realistic and the accordians are excellent. I consider this a "must have" for my core sample set.
It does require an iLok key to use, but since this is my fourth EW/QL PLAY instrument, that wasn't an issue for me.

Quantum Leap's Gypsy features a unique collection of detailed virtual instruments capable of playing completely realistic performances. This product is mostly intended for film, TV, and game composers who want to add one-of-a-kind elements to their compositions.Gypsy's nylon string guitar, violin, and trombone can all be played in both gypsy and classical styles. In the classical realm, these three instruments are unparalleled in the sampling world in terms of playability, diversity, and sound quality.The violin and trombone feature many articulations, repetitions and even true legato intervals. All of the guitars were sampled with up and down strokes, many velocities and picking styles, release trails, chords and effects.Gypsy's guitars sound incredible and were played by one of the best session guitarists in Los Angeles, David Kole. The accordions feature many different setups, all with air flow in and out samples as well as expressive samples, chords, and left hand bass. Gypsy also has a very cool gypsy percussion program and two flamenco dancers' foot stomps as well as traditional castanets. There's also an incredible Bandoneon accordion and Cimbalom (hammered dulcimer)—two very rare instruments.PLAYPowered by EastWest's PLAY 64-bit (and 32-bit) Advanced Sample Engine with built-in Network Control (plug-in or standalone), this virtual instrument combines intuitive handling with excellent sound quality, and functions as a plug-in instrument, without the need for a sampler.
