The American company kept faith in their grand project and have now re‑formatted the entire library (which was formerly available only in the Native Instruments Kompakt/Kontakt format) to run on their custom Play sound engine. With a cast size and budget rivalling that of Ben Hur, this mammoth undertaking represented a huge commitment by its makers, and that commitment was duly rewarded when EWQLSO became the orchestral collection of choice for many film, television and game composers. The whole shebang had been recorded in a large concert hall from three microphone positions, making it 5.1 surround‑compatible. Three years later, the Professional Expansion (XP) upgrade doubled the size of the library to a stonking 138GB. In 2003, after a protracted period of anticipation, the cumbersomely‑named EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra was released to much critical acclaim. A star Hollywood orchestral library gets an extreme make-over.
