After the champagne corks had finished popping, this elite squad of software wranglers set to work and spent five years developing the new Opus engine.Īll of HO Opus’ samples were recorded in EastWest Studio 1, former site of the legendary United Western Recorders. Ex‑Native Instruments Eike Jonas and Wolfgang Schneider (developer of the ubiquitous Kontakt sampler) also joined the team, lured by Rogers’ promise of building a better software engine for the 21st Century. Though Bergersen wasn’t involved in the new recordings, Rogers and Phoenix took delight in producing the sessions using, in Phoenix’s words, “the best players in the Hollywood film score scene”.Ī significant breakthrough came with the appointment of Wolfgang Kundrus (developer of Cubase, Nuendo and PreSonus Studio One) as head of software development. HO Opus’ cast list makes familiar reading: EW producer Doug Rogers, composers and co‑producers Nick Phoenix and Thomas Bergersen collaborated on most of the original EWQL Hollywood titles, with the reassuring presence of Shawn Murphy (Academy award‑winning sound engineer for such money‑spinners as Jurassic Park, the Star Wars franchise, The Bourne Ultimatum, Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban, Minority Report and Titanic) ensuring that the producers’ musical vision was faithfully captured. The whole caboodle runs exclusively on EastWest’s new Opus software engine, which replaces the company’s long‑running Play software. Also included is the powerful Hollywood Orchestrator scoring engine, which creates real‑time orchestral arrangements from your MIDI input. The new Opus Edition brings together updated versions of the EWQL Hollywood Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, Orchestral Percussion, Solo Harp, Solo Cello and Solo Violin libraries, and introduces 130GB of newly recorded strings, woodwind, brass and multi‑instrument ensembles. Veteran US samplists EastWest have released a massively spiffed‑up version of their homegrown Hollywood Orchestra collection. EastWest unveil their expanded orchestral masterwork and built‑in orchestrator.
