Rock-drums, -basses and -guitars from East West, Hollywood
Quantum Leap Ministry Of Rock is a modern-day rock toolkit that covers a myriad of styles, providing a true all-in-one solution for rock productions,” states Quantum Leap producer Nick Phoenix. “Songwriters, film, TV and game composers, as well as all rock musicians, will love this outstanding virtual instrument collection.”
QUANTUM LEAP MINISTRY OF ROCK boasts a sound quality superior to anything else available. The virtual instrument library features sounds used in contemporary music. Ministry of Rock was created with one goal in mind: to create a virtual instrument capable of producing sounds that can actually produce a hit record or film score without any live drum, bass or guitar overdubs. Articulations and programming were all reverse engineered from actual performances.

SOUND
The whole library is like that: start loading programs and you?re guaranteed to find something cool. If anyone thinks for a minute that there?s no reason for another sample library with drums, guitars, and bass, Ministry of Rock proves them wrong. This library is a perfect example of why sampling is unlikely to be replaced completely by synthesizers, no matter how close their emulations get: you can feel the energy in every note. - VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT MAGAZINE Review: MINISTRY OF ROCK Don't be fooled by the acronym: MOR is definitely NOT middle of the road. It's a screeching, howling, booming, clanging, clattering, bashing noise-fest that will fool your neighbours into thinking you have a tame death-metal band lurking in your studio. It's hard to imagine any rock library getting much more powerful than this, and bearing in mind the enduring popularity of the genre, I have a feeling it will be one of Quantum Leap's biggest sellers. - SOUND ON
