So this is a side note to my previous post of the East West Gypsy Vst. If you liked the sounds of the Gypsy, check out a few more of the Vst's that East West Produces- Some of them are outstanding and i highly recommend trying to get ahold of them. They work on both Osx and Windows, and they can be used as a Vst plugin or standalone::

::Ministry of Rock::
::Symphonic Choirs::

East West Quantum Leap Gypsy- Now the name to me seems almost fitting, but at the same time this Gypsy is not trying to mug you and run with your money. Check out this review of the VST by Floridamusic they do a simple run through of the software showing you what the Gypsy is capable of. When i saw it i was floored, the sounds really do begin to sound like a spaniard is in the room smothering you with beautiful guitar melodies.

So right off the bat, i want to say i really do love this synth. It sounds beautiful, it is by far one of the most powerful vst's i have seen in a while. The library which the synth/sampler comes with is absolutly massive, with everything you can possibly think of, including the over hyped (Ominous Voice) "BURNING PIANO"- although its kinda cool. Overall though they synth comes with all the bells and whistles which i would expect from a synthesizer, But in terms of what it comes with i'm most impressed by the amount of consolidation within the program.
STEAM...for me its a little misleading, to me it sounds so powerful, like an......engine? The best part of this overhyped name for something which is quiet frankly a new form of sythn architecture (Spectrasonics) is what they have to say about what STEAM actually is::
"Virtual instruments built with the multitimbral STEAM Engine offer many development possibilities into a variety of hybrid synthesis and control capabilities including high-resolution Streaming Sample Playback, Integrated FX, Variable Waveshape synthesis, Granular synthesis, FM synthesis, polyphonic Ring Modulation, Timbre Shifting, and a comprehensive Flex-Mod™ modulation routing system, to name a few.
The STEAM Engine core technology gives us the ability to respond to other technology changes like the Intel-Mac shift from Apple, 64-bit computing, or a major new operating system,” said Eric Persing, Founder and Creative Director of Spectrasonics. “The new in-house technology will allow us to create instruments that we can fully support across industry changes and allow us to make innovations and transitions faster in the future. For example, just as Stylus RMX being based on our S.A.G.E. technology made possible the early compatibility with Apple’s Intel-Macs, new instruments based on STEAM technology will make transitions like this easier on our customers."
