QUANTUM LEAP SD2 - THE NEXT GENERATION is the sequel to QUANTUM LEAP STORMDRUM (one of the best selling acoustic percussion based virtual instruments ever released).
QUANTUM LEAP SD2 - THE NEXT GENERATION is over twice the size of the original Stormdrum, featuring over 12 Gigabytes of ALL NEW (except the included Metallica black drum kit from Ministry Of Rock) acoustic percussion instruments. The unique selection of drums and percussion included exceeds all other collections. As a sequel to STORMDRUM it sets new standards that will exceed the expectations of everyone who owns a QUANTUM LEAP product.
Included is the new advanced EASTWEST PLAY sample engine offering both 64-bit and 32-bit support.
Also included are 100+ film score oriented MIDI PERFORMANCES, each with dozens of variations, intros and endings from bombastic to hypnotic. The PLAY software allows for millions of variations of each midi performance so you can create custom performances at any tempo without any loss of sound quality because the samples are not time-stretched, only the sequencer tempo is changed. Want to slow it down from 120 BPM to 50 BPM? Simply change the tempo of your sequence, the sounds will remain pristine. Want to change the tone to something more aggressive, or something more subtle? Simply change the dynamics and marvel as 24 velocity multi-sampled percussion creates a completely new sound. Want to tune, add effects or filters to specific drums? No problem. Want to mute specific sounds and play in your own parts? No problem. Sound replacement? No problem. Like the sound of a performance, but don't like the rhythm? Simply use the current multi to create your own rhythms.
Drawing from the secret collections of three percussionists, QUANTUM LEAP SD2 - THE NEXT GENERATION features some of the most amazing, and unique multi-sampled percussion imaginable, all recorded with vintage Neumann microphones in the famous EASTWEST STUDIO 1 (formally United-Western) for that unmistakable Hollywood sound-stage vibe and a sound far beyond any other commercial percussion collection.

System Requirements
13 GB Free Hard Disc Space
DVD Drive
iLok Security Key, not included (a free soundsonline.com account is required for retrieving and managing iLok licenses)
Please note, to use some of the larger MIDI file performances, you will need a recommended system. For those with slower systems, here are some tips to improve performance.
If your system is below our recommended specifications, here are some tips for optimizing PLAY and SD2:
Install samples on a fast drive that is not too full. Make sure all software is up to date.
Change PLAY's streaming settings to buffer factor 5
Change audio driver buffer to 512 or even 1024 if you just need to mix down an SD2 performance.
Turn off reverb.
Mute some tracks of an SD2 performance and render in two passes. Maybe separate the low drums from the hi frequency drums, so you have two audio mixes that can be processed later.
