#EASTWEST QUANTUM LEAP RAM SERIES#

Make a really cool groove with the didgeridoo fx and the Vietnamese jaw harp. Load up the middle eastern string section, apply an Indian or Egyptian tuning from the micro-tuning presets and play octaves. The possibilities are simply endless, especially when you mix the sounds of different cultures together. The percussion in RA compliments Stormdrum perfectly. The reason is, we already covered much of this in EastWest/Quantum Leap Stormdrum. You might also be surprised at how little percussion is included in this giant ethnic collection. You might want to put the middle eastern string section in your next pop tune, or the hardanger fiddle in a sweeping romantic score ala Lord Of The Rings. A lot of thought went into selecting instruments that would appeal to composers of all types, from dance music, to film. RA was a very expensive project, but well worth the cost. The sound of these ensembles cannot be realistically simulated by layering solo instruments. This was done with African drums, bagpipes, gamelan and a Middle Eastern string section. Mics used were Neumann U67 (U47s as alternates), Neuman M50, AKG C12 and Shoepps.Īnother cool aspect of this virtual instrument is the fact that we recorded ethnic ensembles. It is this type of sound that takes to artificial or sampled reverb extremely well. RA was captured with a phase accurate 8-mic setup that gives a complete 3 dimensional image of the instrument. You will find RA has amazing sound quality. Los Angeles is so ethnically diverse and blessed with excellent institutions like Cal Arts, it is actually the ideal place to record a rare and ethnic collection. We spent time hunting down the best ethnic artists on the West Coast. The other ninety percent of RA was recorded at a top studio in Hollywood. RA was born a few years ago, as a sample library called “Rare Instruments.” All of the sounds from Rare Instruments are included in RA, but this only represents approximately one-tenth of the content. RA is an appropriate name for the largest, and most comprehensive rare and ethnic virtual instrument ever made. The chief location of RA worship was Heliopolis (a Greek word meaning city of the sun). RA is usually represented with the body of a man and the head of a hawk, holding an ankh & sceptre. In ancient Egypt, RA was regarded as the creator of everything, the god of the sun.

'Now with the incorporation of our advanced PLAY sample engine, with its built-in sensing technology that monitors a player's style and adjusts the software and sounds accordingly, users will experience a level of detail that was lacking in other products in the market, making their projects come to life with range and emotion.' 'With ethnic instruments, the key to authenticity of sound is expression,' says EastWest/Quantum Leap Producer Nick Phoenix. With the combination of EastWest/Quantum Leap Ra, Gypsy and Silk collections you have the most detailed and expressive ethnic instruments ever produced. For the first time, users will have more control over the sounds offered in the collection along with the ability to load even more instruments than ever before. All of the instruments and ensembles featured in the collection were sampled extensively as a means of preserving the true character and expression of each instrument. Musicians will find that RA has an amazing sound quality and they'll marvel at the articulation of each instrument which has a wide range that goes from controlled to expressive.
