PRESS RELEASE
EastWest Premieres Latest Best Service Library: Xsample Chamber Ensemble
September 10, 2008
Advertisement EastWest, exclusive U.S. distributor of Best Service products, presents Xsample Chamber Ensemble, a new virtual instrument library of high-quality solo instruments for chamber music and chamber orchestra. This collection breathes new life into solo instruments with thousands of combinations of orchestration styles for a more lively and diversified sound. Xsample comes equipped with a Kontakt2 Player engine which significantly expands user' options when Xsample is used in conjunction with certain composition programs. For instance, Xsample with Kontakt2 is able to work out an elaborated interface for the adaptation of the notation programs Finale and Sibelius. Due to the harmonic interaction between the Xsample instruments and these composition programs, users' notated ideas can come alive in a musically interpreted manner. With several instrument variations, including stereo and mono, Xsample easily handles numerous key switches using Kontakt2 as well as globally occupied key switches. For example, you can easily find "sul pont" for violin, viola, violoncello and double bass all on the same key. "Xsample really helps make incorporating the collection's virtual instruments into users' compositions as easy as possible while still providing a superior audio quality," says Doug Rogers, president and CEO of EASTWEST. "Faster loading times are achieved through Xsample by using the reduced variations. This is a huge asset when working with big chamber orchestras because users can easily insert individual instruments into the mix." Xsample Chamber Ensemble retails for $795.00.
