Only quitting the instance (or application in standalone) and reopening it resolves this issue. In both standalone and VST mode I occasionally encounter the following problem: when I load and replace sounds frequently (like when I’m auditioning sounds for a part) some sort of high latency is introduced and it becomes unplayable. Multi-timbrality is a no-go area, which is acknowledged sotto voce by EW as they recommend not to use it and open multiple instances instead. What’s more, on my machine (an aging 2.16GHz Core2Duo iMac with 2GB RAM, but well above minimum sys reqs) performance was unreliable, and I found that I had to bounce every instance right after creating the part. For example, the fact that you can’t input numeric values makes it hard to copy settings. I have to say I like the GUI’s looks, but there are some ergonomic flaws.
They could work for some non-critical parts, but PLAY’s inflexible engine and lack of tweakability really kill it as a synth. The aforementioned pad-like patches are fine, but the analog emulations are a waste of space.
Clavinets fare no better, and Goliath’s only saving grace for keyboardists is the B3, which is pretty good to my ears. Maybe someone else could find a use for it, but not me, and I have tried. My hardware keyboards sound better and feel more like instruments, as does the $99 Garritan Steinway Basic. Perhaps there was a time that the PMI Bosendorfer could be considered great, but it certainly is not now. Which I find misleading as it had me believe that a stripped-down version of their QL Piano was included.

“GOLIATH includes the entire 32 Gigabytes of content from Future Music magazine’s VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT OF THE YEAR – COLOSSUS, PLUS an additional 8 Gigabytes of new content from the latest EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP collections, including the Sound On Sound magazine 5 STAR awarded EASTWEST/PMI BOSENDORFER 290 PIANO” This bit on the soundsonline site correctly states On to the negatives, with the undisputed #1 being the acoustic pianos. The electronic drumkits are a mixed bag, with some of the sounds really knocking and some others sounding dated. Percussion sounds great too, as do many of the ethnic instruments. The choirs and solo voices are wonderful, too.Īcoustic guitars sound very nice, there is a fairly realistic Lakland bass, decent acoustic drumkits, and some nice pad-like patches. The orchestral stuff is definitely a step up from other all-in-ones or hardware workstations, and the included reverb sounds great. Perhaps I expected too much but I found that Goliath is a few miles short of being the all-purpose workhorse it wants to be. I have to say that I was not that impressed. It required some back-and-forth, reinstalling and updating but the issue was resolved so now I could finally go and get inspired. They always replied e-mails within 24 hours and did point me to the solution eventually, which turned out to be an updated version of Yamaha Studio Manager. I managed to open the application but loading sounds would cause it to crash.Īgain, EW support was most helpful. After several unsuccessful attempts I tried PLAY in stand-alone mode but fared no better. I started my DAW (Cubase 4.5.2 at the time) to immerse myself in some serious sound exploration, but when I opened an instance of PLAY (Goliath’s engine) Cubase “unexpectedly quit”.

Thankfully, EastWest’s e-mail support swiftly replied, they uploaded the auhorization code to my iLok account and I was good to go. For some reason the authorization failed and I was unable to use it.
#EASTWEST QUANTUM LEAP RAM INSTALL#
The install took about two hours (6 DVD’s totalling 40GB) and required registering the iLok etc. The package arrived promptly and I was brimming with anticipation, thanks to rave reviews and EW’s reputation for great sound. I bought Goliath for $250 (including iLok + shipping) about one year ago when Soundsonline had one of their many 50% off deals.

With these additions, when you are ready to move up to Platinum Pro XP your compositions will import perfectly. The instruments and articulations that were not included in the original Gold Edition from the original Platinum Edition are included in EWQLSO GOLD PRO XP. ORIGINAL PLATINUM INSTRUMENTS AND ARTICULATIONS ADDED
This isn't a replacement for the originals (which still sound incredible), but rather a collection of additional instruments and articulations that complement and enhance the collection. There's only one way to describe it: The new EASTWEST/QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA PLATINUM PRO EXPANSION package is, well, just breathtaking.
