QUANTUM LEAP COLOSSUS COLOSSUS is the first, super high quality, complete sound set ever created, and it includes 160 instruments and more. COLOSSUS is a massive 32 gigabyte (not megabyte) virtual instrument that covers all of the basic musical genres, the way a keyboard workstation attempts to, except COLOSSUS offers much higher quality than any keyboard available today. COLOSSUS is an indispensable tool that you will reach for time and time again when nothing else works, it will become your Swiss army knife of composing, and it's GENERAL MIDI compatible! You can expect the usual QUANTUM LEAP quality in COLOSSUS. Even if you own some of these instruments, you will love this. A good example is the Fender Rhodes. Despite the fact the Rhodes has been successfully sampled many times, COLOSSUS includes a unique vintage sounding Rhodes you won't find anywhere else. COLOSSUS includes 17 Gigs of new sounds recorded at Ocean Way Studio B (24-bit), a new 2 Gig piano recorded in Europe, and 15 Gigs from the award-winning range of QUANTUM LEAP and EASTWEST titles, all newly programmed with superior sound quality due to the features and improved audio quality of the included Native Instruments KOMPAKT player. Programming is kept very simple, and programs that utilize the mod-wheel are labeled appropriately. All programs have CC11 as an additional volume control. Many programs utilize auto sample alternation for added realism. For touring musicians, this is the ultimate instrument to have on the road or in a club, in fact, we are also releasing a hardware rack-mount version of COLOSSUS called COLOSSUS LIVE. COLOSSUS has incredible instruments of every type (check out the complete list at the bottom of this page), for song-writing, filmscoring, multi-media production, in the studio, or on stage, COLOSSUS has you completely covered. Enjoy!
