EASTWEST, the industry leader in virtual instruments, announces distribution of the

Evolution Series, an Australian sample library developer, has recently created the

next generation World Percussion virtual instrument offering unprecedented sound

quality and endless creativity.

Available from April 1, World Percussion is designed to satisfy the most discerning

film, TV, game composers and producers. It is a powerful and easy-to-use sample

library using state-of-the-art equipment, a world-class scoring stage, and a

treasure trove of beautiful instruments.

As a massive 220 gigabyte library, it features amazing sounds from Africa, Asia,

Europe, Middle East, and South America. It offers up to 7 user controllable

microphone positions, both stereo and 5 independent audio channels for creating

surround sound mixes, an extensive array of velocities and round robin, and hundreds

of unique midi grooves. Aside from both tuned and un-tuned percussion, the library

helps to fuel composers' creativity through the World Inspire Sets.
