QL Ministry of Rock

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. 

• Drum kits sampled for QUANTUM LEAP MINISTRY OF ROCK include Octaplus (nine toms), Ayotte, Ludwig and Gretsch, the latter the actual kit used to make Metallica’s “Black” album. Drum kits are also optimized for use with Roland V-Drums.

• Basses include Fender P-Bass Custom, Fender 5-string, Specter and Kubiki basses. All were recorded through an Ampeg SVT and an Ashdown rig.

• Guitars recorded for Ministry of Rock include Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul, Ibanez Universe 7 and various PRS guitars, all recorded through Marshall, Fender, Bogner, Vox and Budda amplifiers. 

Special features of QUANTUM LEAP MINISTRY OF ROCK include:

• Legato bass and guitar samples
• Legato and staccato repetitions
• Truly playable rhythm guitars and leads, clean and distorted release samples
• Guitars and basses recorded in dual amp configurations
• Software allows the user to choose amplifier, or mix the sound from both amps
• Dynamic bass that can play everything from ballads to the most hardcore music imaginable
• Round robin bass drums, snares, toms and hats
• Performance drum hits extracted from live playing
• Approximately 20 gigabytes of rock drums, basses and guitars recorded in the world-famous EASTWEST Studio 2
• Superior reverb impulses
   

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

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.
